Would Maidana have been a more credible opponent for Pacquiao?

More credible, and also more dangerous.

He hits harder, is bigger, and isn't a pure punching bag like Rios is. Maidana has recently put a little more boxing into his game, although obviously Chino is still no boxer.

It wouldn't happen anyway. Chino is GB and Pac is obviously Arums' slave.

His power is overrated, he was landing flush on Khan's chin and barely dented him. He got absolutely trashed by Alexander (albeit not at his natural weight) and is a gatekeeper guy at best.

Rios is out of his league, Maidana doesn't come close. This is a way better fight, as it'll last longer than Maidana being blitzed for 4 rds before getting KO'd.

Ya would love to see Pac v Maidana it would be a war, Maidana is as tough as nails. Either fighter could win by ko but Pac would take it on points.

Yeah, but unfortunately, he has no box office appeal so the fight won't sell. And if the fight won't sell, they won't make it. Boxing is business.

befor his razor thin loss to kahn he was viewed as the man to beat at 140.since then, talk of him seems to of dipped,especially after his lopsided points loss to alexander.I'm just trying trying to gauge how people rate Maidana.Do you think he would have a been a better comeback fight for pacquiao?
