Pacquiao vs Maidana - make it happen

[Prime 407]

Who wins and why? And please, none of that fighting Floyd's left overs crap, Floyd barely beat the guy.

[ßringer]

I'd favor Pacquiao to win simply due to the fact that his style is so different from Floyd's. Floyd's a defensive wizard who, when confronted with unmitigated violence, has a tendency to go into a shell and look for help from the referee. Pacquiao responds to violence with violence.

Maidana would **** Manny up, though. It wouldn't be easy for either guy to walk away the winner in this one.

Pac on points ,might be close for a while but if Floyd's punches can make Maidana think twice, what would Manny's punches do? especially considering he throws twice as much as Mayweather.

It'd be slightly more competitive than Pac v Rios.

[TonitosWay]

Maidana would undoubtedly test Manny but I don't see him winning unless via KO. He really shocked me how well he did against Floyd; showed the world his mortality.

[SplitSecond]

if pacquiao fights him like he did bradley/rios he will make it very hard on himself, but i still think he wins, he will be fighting maidana like floyd did in his most dominant rounds, consistenly countering, and he circles alot more(and alot better) than floyd and really doesn't ever stop moving, tough fight still that i think pacquiao wins comfortably on the cards, but he'll be bruised up no doubt

old pacquiao would murder maidana in a war that doesn't go the distance, he wouldn't pitty pat him like floyd did

[Prime 407]

I think Maidana hurts pac a couple times but Pac brutalizes Chino's face and wins on points.

[lutenco]

MANNY wins by TKO late stoppage,MANNY throws too many shots and CHINO will eat a lot of those,no KO but ref will stop because the punishment!!! Just to talk,MANNY will let MAIDANA fight with EVERLAST MX !!!

[ßringer]

Regarding the actual outcome, I'd say Pacquiao on points.

I said it many times to Floyd fans who were predicting a TKO victory for Floyd before Mayweather/Maidana : Nobody stops Maidana. You might drop him off a really good shot, but he's like Marquez - He recovers incredibly quickly and, when he does, he's usually pissed.

Pac got rocked by tb and ko'd by Jmm

Maidana will knock him clean out

[blacksocks]

Unlike Mayweather, Manny will fight toe-to-toe and hit Maidana with more powerful shots. Manny wins by stoppage just like the Cotto fight.
