    Ha ha , dont show that list to Showtime, they think Khan is the only option!!

    Fron that list there are at least three fights which are 50 / 50 for Floyd.

    Khan does not move his head, when he throws them combinations

    If Garcia can time him in 3 rounds Mayweather will be timing him from the first or second

    People say Mayweather doesnt have power but he will time Khan with left hooks and eventually stop him

    Malignaggi was a terrible style match up for paulie: faster guy who hits harder with a weak chin you cant crack. that was an easy fight to pick. and his end tactics against plodding madaina TERRIBLE. He looked way better against Judah in terms of performance. I guess I am talking about his best performances, I consider the last third of the madaina fight a disgrace.

    Khan is easy to figure out he doesn't adapt to even b level opponents just relies on fast hands and sometimes clinching. Floyd is a whole different realm. Khan doesn't belong in the ring with him.

    Oh i know bro.

    He ducked Alexander no doubt, now Porter has his title!

    Like i said, Khan dont derserve it Bradley does. even Maidana more.

    but style wise hes a way different matchup then Mayweather has had in a while

    He looked way better against Judah because it was Judah he was in with who has a tendency to fold and give in sometimes when things aren't going his way.

    What was so disgraceful about the last third of the Madaina fight?

    Malignaggi had been rather easily outboxed by hatton too. His success in regaining a title is a testament to a weak division to some degree.

    I get what your saying...but nobody belongs in the ring with Mayweather hes just that good. but hey, hes got to at least fight 4 more times so hes got to do what hes got to do.

    Dominant lead - so much quicker than your opponent , but poor ring iq led to tons of time on the ropes holding without any inside work or effective evasion. The rest of the time back pedaling. Just a bad end to a fight a guy with real ring iq and his talents would have ended by round six no matter how tough madaina is. That body shot almost destroyed madaina right away.

    This is nothing more than a low-risk, stay busy, money fight. Khan stands no chance, but to get Mayweather out of there early. If Mosley(a much better puncher) couldn't do it Khan can't. Khan hasn't even made the 147 limit in a fight before. It's just not an interesting fight. Only thing to look forward to in this event is the under card. If we can get Garcia-Matthysee, and Broner-Maidana, and Mares-Gonzales that would be a great night of boxing.

    the last thrid of the fight against Miadana a disgrace?? He was way up on the cards and was trying to survive. u know how many other boxers have dont that before Khan...THOUSANDS!!

    I would hold on when Maidana is trying to knock your block off

    Undercard will be loaded no doubt.

    I think its intresting. I wanna see Mayweather in there with someone with some speed. Its been a long time. Im tried of bigger guys and people thinking its weight and pressure tat will get Mayweather. I want to see Mayweather against speed, thats why i think its intresting. let lone Khan lets his hands go, thats always exciting
