Pacquiao by UD. Maidana struggles with speedy fighters plus he is slow himself. Pacquiao could fight similar to how he fought against Rios and Margarito by using his footwork and throwing combinations before Maidana can react. Pacquiao has a good right hook to the body, threw a good sneaky one against Bradley which caught him by surprise and used it effectively against Rios multiple times , Maidana hates body shots and I'm sure Roach would have that as part of his game plan.
Maidana has good looping shots and against Broner he feinted to the body before throwing it which is clever, similar to what Marquez did in the 3rd round against Pacquiao. Only difference is Maidana's over hands are wild and slower compared to Marquez who knows Pacquiao's unconventional style far more than Maidana and set the shot up by almost exclusively throwing body shots in the first two rounds, slow motion of the knockdown shows how Pacquiao put his guard downstairs thinking Marquez would go to the body again. Because of that I doubt Maidana would catch Pacquiao hard enough or frequently enough to get the KO
Pacquiao
Pacquiao would be in serious danger. We know Maidana is the most dangerous and aggressive when he's being hit and dropped. Maidana by KO.
Pacquiao by wide UD. Maidana is slow as f-u-c-k
Pacquiao by UD. Would be a great fight though, especially with Pac's game deteriorating of late.
Pacquiao performs best against pressure fighters. Just look what happened against Ricky Hatton. It would be target practice all day long
Pacquiao by shut out.
PAC hasn't kayo'd anyone lately so it's an up in the air fight IMO. Bigger surprises have happened in boxing lately.
