Maidana is actually the one who's shown he hates it in the body. Khan dropped with a body shot and Alexander hurt him bad with one. If one of them goes down due to body shots, I'm guessing it's Madiana.

but look how the fucker powered out of that brutal body shot by Khan and went on to shake it off, the guy's not as iron chinned as maybe Rios but he recovers quick as fuck, also punch for punch IMO Maidana is the bigger banger, just remember how he blew up Ortiz's eye in a single round, went in clean and had it swollen shut by the end of the round, doesn't need to drop Rios to stop him

Oh no doubt he can get hit and hurt there. Rios has been dealt damage there. Rios actually is pretty concious of taking to the gut but giving up the head is a lot different from the body. I just like Maidana as a much smarter puncher with accuracy there. If Manny isn't shell shocked coming in I think he'll hurt him big time and prob stop him with it.
