    Maidana VS Pacquiao could actually be FOTY

    Both these guys fight with their pride.. if you hurt them, then they're only gonna come back harder, they both have power, dynamic offense, they never run and they never quit.

    Maidana has been slowed down before, but he's never been stopped. Same thing with Pacquiao. ( not counting the 2 losses he had before he was sexually mature)

    It's not the best legacy fight but it's gonna be interesting as hell to watch with a lot of drama and seesaw action until a winner comes out on top. An old school brawl, because maidana has the speed to keep up with pacquiao. Unlike his last 2

      I think it would turn out like the Hatton fight but might go a couple more rounds. If Maidana was a little tougher, faster, and had a better defense, it might be a good fight. Pacquiao just can't be stopped right now by that type of fighter, IMO.

        No not at all, it wold a easy mismatch. Maidana is just not that good, his chin will let him down as well. He has a hard time dealing with speed and movement. And, Pac has stamina. Pac finishes him in 3 rounds.

        Pac-Bradley would be a better match up. Pac-Bradley has a better chance of being FOTY.

        But, sadly we might not see the fight.

          Naw i dont know about that fight either. Pac drops bradley when ever he would throw his fluries like he likes to sort of how he was droped with holt. The same way pac droped marquez in their second fight and cotto. I think to beat many you cant be exchanging with him you need to hit and move.

            Interesting??? I don't think so. This would be the same as Pac/Hatton.

              But, Bradley has more dimensions and he has the speed that Maidana doesn't to get inside of Pac.

              Pac is overall the better fighter and I think Pac would beat Bradley. But, on the inside Bradley can get the better of Pac. Bradley is the better inside fighter. Bradley can give Pac something he hasn't seen since the JMM rematch.

              I also think Bradley has a better chin than Maidana. I think heart and toughness is just as equal as Maidana. But, Bradley is faster and IMO stronger also. The only think Maidana really has is power but that won't really do nothing to Pac.

              Maidana would be just a walking punching bag, Bradley would do much better.

              I'm not talking about beating Pac. Floyd and Martinez could beat Pac. It wouldn't be considered a shock or an upset if they beat him. But, I'm talking about FOTY material. Neither Floyd nor the Martinez fight will be a FOTY if Pac losses. Maybe if Pac wins it could be a FOTY cuz' that mean they will fight he's fight. Which would be interesting.

                Yeah i love maidana as a fighter but he would get killed by manny. He is to slow and doesnt have head movement or a good defence. And naw i think like with all pacs opponents if you trade with pac you are going down. He just has a tremendous chin and has never been hurt recently while bradley was
                dropped bad againts holt. Bradley would do much better but he cant get caught up in any exchanges with him if he wants to make it competive.

                  Entertaining for sure but no where near competitive to be FOTY. Manny is WAAAAAAAY to fast and hits to hard for a guy who gets hit so much and while his chin is excellent he has been down and he has been hurt. This could almost be like Pac vs Diaz
