Floyd is hard to be hit and he is tough. Chino would land more clean punches on Pac and make him suffer more. Pac could hurt Chino, but I see things this way: Maidana is a fighter whose level is just a step below Floyd's. He beats Pac IMO.
More Pac nuthugging in here.
Jackasses predicting a Manny stoppage......Manny hasn't stopped a guy in 5 years but all of the sudden he is going to stop Maidana....GTFOH.
Manny is no longer this destroyer that he was
Maidana would have less success with his awkward shots because Manny would be firing back with faster awkward shots of his own. Maidana deserves another payday though so I'm all for it.
There is no way this fight would make it to the scorecards. The styles of both fighters simply wouldn't allow it. With that said, I think Pacquiao becomes the first guy to stop Maidana.
I don't see PAC keeping Maidana off him, Maidana would land on him and hurt him bad not to mention the dirty Infighting maidana does. PAC doesn't have anymore to overcome sooneome like Maidana not to mention the difference in size. Maidana is really big for PAC like he is floyd
LOL pac is not fairy puncher who goes in a shell. He would light maidana's ass up if he was to come at pac like he did Floyd.
Margarito who was massive could not even pin pac on the ropes without paying for it with a broken orbital bone.
He'd make Manny uncomfortable with his roughhousing dirty tactics, but Manny would beat him. Styles make fights. Manny does enough to win on points against those type of fighters, but if Maidana is allowed to fight his fight, then it would be an interesting fight. Unlike Hatton, Maidana constantly use his jab really well to closing distance and trapping his opponents on the ropes. It's not easy to catch him on the way in either because of the way he swing awkwardly and put his head on his opponent/s chest once he has them on the ropes.
Manny would definately get hurt a few times but he does his best work when the other guy pisses him off.

durable, heavy handed, come forward brawlers. manny fought so many of those. if style makes fights, then manny got this. it was proven so many times that those style wont work againts manny. danny garcia at 140 is a good fight.
I would love to watch it ! also if pac wins clearly a new case for pac floyd would revive in the eyes of most fans.
Also a fight between maidana and ruslan would be epic
Pac always looked good against fighters who comes at him and is available for him especially at these higher weights. I don't know why they like Pacquiao to be the aggressor always when he has troubles with guys like Tim bradley, someone who moves on his feet lot and has lot of upper body movements, with Marquez who throws a lot of hard feints that messes up pacquiao's patience and rhythm, and someone who has the discipline to fight with one successful game plan. Maidana would be available at Pacquiao's reach, and wouldn't bother his patience at all. Pacquiao by KO.
I got a feeling we might see this. Oscar and Arum are talking now, so this is definitely possible.
Oscar can make a big statement with this move against Schaefer and Hamon.
This is the fight fans would like to see. Maidana should forget Mayweather since he clearly won the fight.
Time to leave Mayweather in the dust. He looked pathetic in that press conference with all the excuses and trying to justify his bad performance.
Maidana should make a great business decision now and take advantage of his performance. Make the fights fans want to see. Maidana vs Pacquiao would be a great fight, fans would like to see this. Pacquiao will also let Maidana wear MX gloves, and Pacquiao his Cleto.
There's going to be blood and brutality and more likely a knockout.
