The former world champion Marcos & # 39; Chino & # 39; Maidana revealed that he would be ready to take the gloves nearly five years after his last fight against Floyd Mayweather – but only to deal with Manny's "Pacman". Pacquiao, who surprised him by his performance on July 20 against WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman.
Maidana (35-5, 31 KO's) said that unlike the fight with Mayweather, he would not have to run and that it would be a spectacular fight because Pacquiao likes to make himself known.
"I have already fought with everyone and Pacquiao would be the only one I did not go with and I would be directly involved in this fight," Maidana told ESPN Deportes. "What I love, is that it shows up and me too, and it would be like an accident. I like Pacquiao's style, it's going to be a good fight, a fight that people would like, not like the one with Mayweather where you have to run around the ring. "
Maidana was to fight again earlier this year, having signed a contract of three fights with Premiere boxing champions.
But he canceled that plan and went back to retirement – because of a financial dispute with PBC. He claims that PBC failed to secure a promised financial advance.
Maidana was shocked to see how much 40-year-old Pacquiao looked against Thurman.
"It was surprising to see what he looked like, he looked better than in other fights.He was very successful, at 40, that is surprising," he said. declared Maidana.
Maidana, who fought Victor Ortiz, Devon Alexander, Adrien Broner, Josesito Lopez, Amir Khan, Erik Morales and Mayweather, sees Pacquiao twice.
"I only have one boxer left to test me, Manny Pacquiao. So, with that, we are waiting, I will come back to get it, I would like to do it, "said Maidana.
