Who did better against Floyd: Pacquiao or Maidana?

[djtmal]

Maidana absolutely did better. Manny was coming forward, but wasn't doing anything to Floyd.

If that is the case, Floyd didn't do anything either but hold

[djtmal]

the only loaded is you making multiple alts

It's not that serious. Manny was past his prime with a totally different style than Madonna.

As was Floyd and more so than manny

lol manny got 10-2’d by a Floyd at the end of his career

Marcos faced a younger Floyd and was able to beast mode him

manny waited for Floyd to look vulnerable first in Maidana fights

only then would manny sign the contract

Except he held less than 2 times on average per round I.e barely at all.

Rd6: Cotto
Rd7, Floyd
Rd8, Cotto
Rd9, 10-10
Rd10, 10-10
Rd11, 10-10
Rd12, Floyd

This is my scorecard last 6 rds, for the state Cotto was in he did fairly well but did not have the energy, freshness and confidence to pull off a Maidana like performance and was fading in the late rounds. Cotto had the right idea by applying smart pressure but in the end it was not enough.

I guess but you have to consider 10-10 rounds are very rare in the real world and 3 of them would be basically unheard of.

May > Marcos > HORN > Pac > DONE La Hoya

You can't ignore the facts.

Manny Pac had far more fights far more tougher fights. Had already been ko'd

Floyd retired and unretired for stretches to preserve himself. When the threats emerged Floyd was nowhere to be found

Don't try to minimize it. Holding is holding that was Mayweather's strategy to hold and spoil.

Manny didn't hold at all. He was there to fight that was obvious

[djtmal]

Marcos faced a younger Floyd and was able to beast mode him

Is that what you saw i saw Floyd doing the bare minimum with a crude c fighter who couldn't hit him on the ropes or in the center of the ring.

It only looked entertaining because Madonna was willing to break the rules with the rough stuff, but the judges got it right he wasn't getting nothing done

English, do you read it?

He literally held less than 2 times per round on average. Less, than 2 times, per round. Meaning it objectively wasn’t his strategy.
