Comments Thread For: Maidana Would Love To Return Against Pacquiao in 2015

[Mike D]

Chino has a punchers chance in the first 5 rounds. After that when he fades like usual he gets the **** beat out of him. You can't fight pac with a stamina problem like chino and not get carved up. ****ing bradley who is a very fit dude couldn't keep up with pac's intensity and pace you telling me chino can? LOL

Maidana is no marquez he only knows one way to fight and that's go balls to the walls. That cave man **** wont fly with pac, Chino's face would get torn apart.,

I don't get how these mother**kers can't understand that. They're too blinded by hate.

Of course Maidana has a puncher's chance -- Marcos Maidana would have a puncher's chance against anybody. Hell he had a puncher's chance against Floyd. But anybody who favors him, and thinks that Pacquiao would be the one fighting the uphill battle -- needs to rethink how and why they ended up a boxing fan.

Maidana's style is EXACTLY what Manny wants to see. Either Marcos lands the homerun shot or he gets cleaned out on the cards.

Manny gets dropped inside of five. Not only is Maidana a strong puncher he can hit anyone. He landed shots on Khan and even Floyd with some success. You have to be dedicated to avoiding him %100, constantly moving and nothing much else and Manny has never ever ever fought that way.

Manny also does not throw single shots, he sits and launches combos, a lot like Amir Khan. Maidana will easily walk through that and light him up.

Realistically he gets destroyed via bodyshots.

You just showed your knowledge or lack thereof about boxing. Your reasoning and analysis is all flawed. Maidana is certainly a strong puncher but you make it sound as though Manny is feather fisted. No one walks through Manolo's firepower and the ones that did, well, they paid with their career, ask Margarito. Don't let the lack of Manny's KO fool you, Manny is still a good puncher. Manny probably gets caught by Chino, the only problem is that it won't be a perfect punch like Marquez 'cos we all know Chino is not a thinking man. But Manny definitely survives any adversity Chino brings and probably whitewashes him in the second half of the fight to possibly stopping him late especially knowing that Chino has stamina issues.

I don't like the situation he is in but it is what it is. Ghost had a much bigger fan base than Thurman has now at the same point in his career, that's how he got big fights because he sold tickets, same with Porter, Broner, and even Victor Ortiz when he was active. Before they even stepped foot in the ring with the top ten they had established fan bases and they moved tickets.

Thurman simply does not move tickets. Even with all of his knockouts he does not attract fans. GGG has yet to face a name opponent yet he is drawing fans so he will be able to land big fights.
Like the rest of you I want Thurman to have his shot, but it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon because people aren't drawn to the guy.

If he could find 4 opponents a year like GGG can, itd be a different story. He wants to be active but has no takers.

Entertaining fight in which I see pac winning by a wide US if he uses his boxing skills. Something like a pac vs rios. BUT if Manny decides to try and **** out with chino...which he most likely will...it's could be night night.

[ThatDude44]

I am a big Maidana fan... but this would be a copy of the Rios fight... El chino would get eaten, digested and shat before he could land anything meaningfull!

You just disrespected the mess out of Chino. Rios is slow , matter of fact, stationary heavybag. Rios would get murdered by Chino.

[Check_hooks]

I don't blame him, he would make more against Pacquiao than he did against 2 fights with Floyd

He would take more than twice the damage doe

[badass316]

I love Chino, but I think Pac would f'n mop him. Guys that come at Pacquiao normally get fcked up.

[Strategic1]

Of course he wants PAC... who doesn't? ...(besides Floyd)
Make 2-5 million or or go back to $300,000-$400,000 paydays.

[PacmanP4PLegend]

Would be a good fight, but Marcos wouldn't make it til the end probably...

Marquez weighed the same against both guys , Floyd weighed in at 146 and was 150 on the night against Canelo , Manny was 148 on the night against Marquez , you dont see JMM wanting a rematch with Floyd , and Marquez and Nacho both think Floyd beats Manny .

Do the calculations its not really hard to figure out .

Your body has to adjust to the weight class. Theres a reason why fighters dont jump up and down in weight classes.
