Manny Pacquiao Vs Marcos Maidana

[Deevel916]

To Floyd fans it'd just be another "face first brawler" cherrypick that Pacquiao walks through with a breeze

This ^^^^^

[_original_]

With this current version of Pacquiao (no killer instinct, cracked chin) it would be a hell of a fight, could see both men getting dropped.

It would be legit, and Pacquiao would slaughter him.

Maidana will be dangerous but I still see Pac dishing out a Rios-like beatdown.

Maidana is nobody's cherry pick. Should Floyd handle him rather convincingly? Yeah, he should. Is Manny capable of handling him? Sure.

But sleep on dude for one second and you'll find yourself dropped.

He's a dangerous fighter for anybody on the planet in and around his weight class.

You're romanticizing a guy that beat up a garbage Broner, and almost got stopped by Lopez before that. He almost lost to a prehistoric version of Morales, and got schooled by Devon Alexander.

This isn't the era of Margarito, P-Will, Cotto, prime Manny, Clottey, Shane.

Hell, I think a pre Margarito Cintron would've beaten the hell out of Maidana.

^^^^^^ LIARS.

Not me.

Maidana's a dangerous fighter especially for this version of Pacquaio.

I said I would have been happy with Provodnikov for Pacquaio so I'd definitely be happy with Maidana aswell as both are dangerous guys.

I'm fully aware of Maidana's limitations. He's far from a perfect fighter. That's pretty obvious. I may be over romanticizing him, but at the same time I think you're underestimating how dangerous he can be. You don't record 31 stoppages in 35 wins otherwise.

I already said that Floyd (or Manny for that matter) should handle him convincingly. That said, neither of them can sleep on him. You just can't sleep on a guy like Maidana. And is it really over romanticizing a guy by just saying you shouldn't sleep on him?

Just like to PAC fans he's just another slow come forward no footwork fighter he beats with ease.

You couldn't sleep on Ricardo Torres either, but that doesn't make him a legit threat to an elite fighter.
