I disagree, I feel the route to giving Floyd a struggle is through speed. Maidana far too slow. If Maidana has a chance........ why the hell does Khan not?
the fact is mayweather is willing to move up - BUT ONLY FOR THE RIGHT OPPONENT no ones forcing anyone to move up - but watch him pick and choose when he does move up depending on who the champions are therefore - hes a coward
GGG isn't no1 p4p, Floyd has fought at 154 3 times before & is still champion in the division & GGG is willing to move down. This is about Floyd not GGG.
I would rather Mayweather fought Khan instead of Maidana. Don't know why so many are saying Maidana instead of Khan. When was the last time Mayweather fought somebody with the speed of Khan? At least it would be interesting for the first half of the fight but if it's Maidana then he'll dominate from the first bell.
Maidana is fast enough to pose a few problems and it is not like either is expected to win, Khan has no toughness at this level now in my opinion and has been too inactive. A come forward brawler with limited speed can give a fast boxer some trouble a sit back counter puncher like Canelo with no speed is going to cause few problems besides Maidana is faster than Canelo.
ergh. Don't care for either of these fighter. The only two I'd really be interested in are fighting each other. Maybe give Garcia a payday? unbeaten guy who is the boss at 140 at least and is deserving of his shot. The guy beat Lucas, Khan etc. and would beat maidana.
I don't think Floyd and Leonard are sitting there tallying them up He should have done a poll, this is just a publicity stunt.
Each time Floyd fought at 154 it was for massive ppv fights. Del LA hoya; Cotto and Canelo. Floyd was willing to come out of his comfort zone of 147 because financially it was worth the risk. Floyd fighting Lara at 154 doesnt financially make sense. And at this stage in his career he has bigger and easier money fights that can be made than fighting unknown Lara. This is a business ain't got nothing to do with fighters being scared.
Watching Mayweather beat a flat footed opponent is better than watching him batter someone that jumps around like kangaroo.
