Maidana won the first and fifth rounds of the first fight and lost every other round. And he fought dirty and broke the rules all night and was allowed to get away with it scott free by the ref. The first fight with Maidana was basically an attempted robbery that failed. if headbutting, throwing punches to the back of the head, throwing punches to the nuts, body slamming and biting(he bit Mayweather in the 12th round of the first fight also) are part of Pacquiao's strategy maybe he does have a chance. Because the only way any fighter has ever given Mayweather any trouble is by fighting extremely dirty(Castillo and Hatton also). By the way, the slow plodding Maidana is a two division former world champion who almost knocked Amir Khan out and him doing the dougie all across the ring.

Did people really not watch both guys fight last year? If the fight gets made, Manny is going to rip Floyd to shreds. It will look like Pac-Clottey II.
And stuff like this must be music to Pac's ears. Every time he's been the underdog in a fight, he not only won... he DEMOLISHED his opponent.
He took the Ledwaba fight with 2 week's notice. The odds were so ridiculously high in favor of the champion that all bets were called off. Result:
Against Barrera (#2 PFP behind only Roy Jones Jr), he was the 3-1 underdog. Result:
Against DLH, he was the 2-1 underdog with many pundits calling the fight a circus and mismatch...
A former middleweight (160 lbs.) world champion fighting a former flyweight (112 lbs.), on paper, looks like an utter mismatch. So it’s no surprise that boxing critics see this match as nothing less than a “circus” for the purpose of making money.
Boxing is all about making money. I will not delve into the merits of prizefighting and it’s business side, but both parties heard the noise of the cash registers when they decided to go on with the fight. In sports, the improbable becomes possible when you place money into the equation.
One can look back to the glory days of the Sweet Science to see smaller men fight, and beat, bigger guys. Middleweight Stanley Ketchel floored world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson before losing by knockout. Lightweight and welterweight legend Henry Armstrong drew with middleweight Ceferino Garcia.
Men like Sam Langford, Charley Mitchell and Jersey Joe Walcott fought anywhere from Lightweight to Heavyweight.
Should Manny Pacquiao pull off the improbable (some say impossible) and defeat Oscar De La Hoya, we will have no choice but to place him among the ranks of the greatest boxers in history.
All-time greats like Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Jack “Nonpareil” Dempsey, Henry Armstrong, to name a few, overcame physical limitations to defeat much bigger opponents. If Pacquiao pulls off similar feats, then he will reserve for himself a truly special place in boxing history.
Result:
History says the smart money is on Manny in this one, especially considering TBE barely squeaked by Chino Maidana last year while Pac toyed with undefeated fighters.Comment

Nothing. But there is a meme in his post with Pacquiao and Mayweather shaking hands and kind of hugging with the words "they really do stank" written on top of it. But since you're a Pacquiao supporter I'm sure you condone that kind of ignorance. It's sad. There is going to be a straight up race riot at the MGM after Mayweather beats the stuffing out of Pacquiao. With all of the hatred in the air and the kind of stuff people post on these comment boards I definitely would not want to be in Vegas on the night of the fight. It's going to be chaotic and dangerous.Comment

Look at all these race biased million man march attending Floyd fans overhyping how good Floyd is.
Mayweather is a great fighter but he's not invincible like his cheerleaders make him out to be (apart from his usual slow, flat footed hispanic opponents), he's overrated like Jay Z.
Eminem is better than Jay Z but black people say Jay Z is better because they see him as a black role model, it's similar with Mayweather.
Mayweather barely beat that bum Maidana who is on Rios level, even Robert Garcia said Maidana is a limited fighter.Comment

Before it's a risky fight etc etc then it's a given fact that the opponent was a drained zombie.Comment
