odd poll considering some people thought maidana beat or at least deserved a draw v floyd
Who did better against Floyd: Pacquiao or Maidana?

This poster is more limited in the intelligence department than any other poster I’ve seen in my years here and that’s saying a lot.Both best floyd arguably. But my aunty who I was watching fight with was pleading with ref to save Floyd from further punishment against the cruel maidana. Plus maidens got his rematch. So id say maidens did better.
Although floyd fans will say maidens fight was closer that's why he got rematch, whereas floyd was most likely scared of pac more and took money and ran from pac. Quit whilst ahead so to speakComment

I’ve been here for a decade. In that time every post you make here has been unbiased, truthful and intelligent.I do not recall Floyd vs Cotto like that or some late surge from Cotto? If anything it came from Floyd.
I recall Floyd winning early, Cotto making adjustments and taking the middle rounds then Floyd made adjustments and pulled away in the late rounds.
From memory it was competitive through 9 then all Floyd
To answer op; Maidana did a lot better.
I gave Maidana 5 rounds (1st fight), from memory I think I only gave Manny 3Comment

Well, Floyd handpicked Maidana twice and both looked like business set ups. Floyd had to be forced to fight Pac by the head of CBS Showtime Les Moonves. Yes the Floyd Maidana fights looked competitive but so did Creed vs Balboa and Lang vs Balboa. Pac Floyd looked like Floyd boxed to survive 12 because he knew the Vegas judges were bought.Comment

Who needs bought judges when you win so easily? Hbo side of the commentary team even had pac losing. And they were pac fanboysWell, Floyd handpicked Maidana twice and both looked like business set ups. Floyd had to be forced to fight Pac by the head of CBS Showtime Les Moonves.

it wasn’t easy though because the commentators for showtime said Floyd was running in the beginning
his daddy said he was fighting scared and not acting like his self in the middle rounds
and manny had him bleeding from the mouth where as he didn’t even scratch manny despite being the significantly bigger manLast edited by Ctx94; 08-06-2025, 12:51 AM.Comment
