Pacquiao hasn’t scored a knockout in six years and, similar to Mayweather, is not a powerful welterweight like Maidana. At welterweight, Pacquiao has only scored one stoppage and it was a premature referee stoppage of Miguel Cotto back in 2009. Before that, he knocked out Ricky Hatton at junior welterweight in his last real KO. Since moving up to junior welterweight and above, in nine wins, Pacquiao only has two wins by stoppage and they were both six years ago. Maidana, on the other hand, has scored KO’s in three of his four wins at welterweight, on top of 28 KO’s in 31 wins at junior welterweight. At junior welterweight and above, Maidana’s KO percentage is over 80 percent, while Pacquiao’s is just over 20 percent like Mayweather, JR.’s. Predicting a knockout for either man is wishful thinking"

- Cotto was stopped prematurely.

- Floyd will get robbed unless he wins at least 8 rounds.
