    Why didn't Pac fight Maidana?

    I'm sure it's a rehash of the Floyd-Pac wars in some way, but, that's still happening...as ****** as it is...and I honestly got fed up pretty early in the Money-Manny debates so I stopped paying attention and don't really know much about what y'all was bitching about. Like the whole IV ****, you don't find me posting about it because I really got no clue.

    No Maidana though, and Marcos was considered Floyd's hardest fight by many.

    No Canelo either.

    Dudes are too big for Pac-Man or he was busy with something else? What happened? Why did not Manny fight Marcos?

    I guess you cannot fight everyone.

      It was talked about for a while but just never happened. Would have been a long night for Marcos maybe. Tailor made opponent for Pac

        When would the maidana fight have realistically happened? Bob and Al weren’t doing co promotional fights back then i don’t think. And i’m pretty sure Canelo was always viewed as too big by team pac

          Seemed like Maidana had little to no interest in fighting anymore after the two Floyd fights.

            No need to fight Maidana. He fought Floyd instead.

              different promoters.

              also if he fought maidana and knocked him out you would just say he fought floyds left overs and discredit the win.

                Pac s had 20ish more fights than floyd. Pac fought everyone. This question applies and is more relevant to floyd.
                But did Pac and maidana fight common opponents? I know a 40 year old Pac beat broner quite comfortably whilst maidana was real back and forth competitive. How maidana beat broner made maidana seen as a credible opponent for floyd.
                whilst Pac beating bro ner was seen as blah, broners a nobody?

                  Maidana retired following the Mayweather fights. Had he stayed around I imagine he might have got the Pac fight. A lot of guys fought Floyd then Pac or vice versa; Mosley, Cotto, Oscar, Hatton, Marquez etc
