"Sledgehammers & Ambulancias" Maidana vs FOTD "Pacman" Pacquiao @147: Who wins?

[lefthook2daliva]

The speed and movement is just gonna' be too much. I think Pacman jumps around and in and out and it's a death by thousand cuts for Maidana. I'l take Pac by late tko from accumulated damage.

I think Maidana bullies him into the ropes and drops him with a liver shot.

Old Pacquiao stops Maidana. Now it would either be PACMAN by wide UD or Maidana by KO.

I don't know if old Pac stops him. Pac has two stoppages at WW. one was DLH when DLH was clearly weight drained and just a walking shell, and DLH decided not to come back out of his corner, and the other was a weight drained Cotto.
I think Pac having this unbelievable power is a myth. Pac had very good pop, but his speed and angles are what made him the force he was.

The only fighters that can beat Pac are the ones that can punch with him and have the power to hurt him when they land. For that reason Maidana, as well as Danny Garcia are both more dangerous for Pac than Floyd.

You can't beat Pacquiao in a boxing match, he enjoys getting hit and he doesn't get tired. Pacman will outwork anyone who tries to box him. The only way to beat him is to hurt him and apply pressure.

I've always thought Maidana was dangerous to Pacquiao even before he fought khan.

Discuss.

How about Pac vs Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto who wins in most convincing one sided brutal fashion? I hope you get your answer. Pac would make any Floyd cherry picked opponents like a bum as history shown.

Pac will allow Maidana to wear his punching gloves without any panic attack or hysteria nor worrying about his health unlike that coward.

You floydiots are making Maidana looks like a beast after Floyd made sure someone already removed his fangs and claws before he ffought him. You are disgusting SOB!

a few floyd fans will say maidana will beat him down when there is little sign of the fight happening. But if the fight suddenly does get made watch them switch over to saying Pac is beating up on floyd's leftovers.

I think it would be a war, both would come forward and Mannys chin would be tested, and Maidana would probably take more damage than he's ever taken but punches never seem to phase him.

Not sure if serious, but with the cold war over this fight is as good as made.

Maidana is a slower, less accurate, less skillful, more predictable version of PAC with terrible stamina/workrate by comparison. That's why Froid picked him.

Maidana is to PAC what Broner is to Floyd, except PAC beats both of them more impressively than Froid.

I disagree with this completely. Pacqiao has different punches in his arsenal and hits you with angles based on his footwork not his core and arms and pivots. Pacquiao applies pressure via volume and workrate, Maidana does it via explosive combinations and workrate, Pacquiao has mediocre defense and quick feet, Maidana has slower feet but solid defense when needed. Also Maidana has the better chin.
