    Sick of these people saying "let's see how mayweather deals with speed"

    Speed combined with amateurish ***** flurrys are not effective

    Speed combined with timing and accuracy are deadly

    So **** off with the khan speed gives mayweather problems bull****. Mayweather will use his footwork to evade khans flurrys and counter and knock the **** out with a check hook. It's that simple

    Chino is by far the tougher test , albeit still a mismatch

    Lazarus and anybody else,

    if you or anybody can give me one solid reason why Khan deserves a shot at Mayweather then I'll vote for him.

    And don't give me all that "hand speed" cobblers, Julio Diaz didn't have any trouble with those lightening hands so what makes anybody think Mayweather would struggle?

    Floyd struggling big time for a worth PPV apponent. Khan just isn't it. The only person I want to see Floyd fight at the moment is Bradley. Which obviously can't happen now because he is signed to fight Manny. Which I believe he will win convincingly this time.

    It was effective enough to beat Maidana.

    1. He beat the other main contender (Maidana).
    2. He would make for a more entertaining fight.
    3. He is something different stylistically compared to the guys Floyd has fought before.
    4. His SPEED is more likely to trouble Floyd than Maidana's power.
    5. He might be a bigger draw than Maidana.

    I voted Khan because I honestly think it will be the better fight but he's only got himself to blame for pulling out of the Alexander fight. What a tit!!!

    I couldn't care less about deserves. Neither Khan or Maidana has done anything for me. I voted based on the fight I think I will find more entertaining.

    Think Khan would be a much more exciting fight than Maidana, style-wise more interesting + more chance of a knockout. I see May-Maidana going one way... UD Floyd. Would rather see Khan whether he can cause problems, get KO'd or schooled or whatever.

    1. That fight was nearly 4 years ago, very very close and Khan has been knocked silly since then by a few fighters. 4 years ago Zab Judah beat Matthysse Hmm maybe Zab should get another shot?

    2. The only way Khan is entertaining is if he is being knocked out.
    3. Not really, Mayweather has fought and beat all sorts of styles.
    4. Khan's "SPEED" didn't trouble Julio Diaz (who punched Khan around)
    5. No, People would rather tune in to see Maidana the man who just beat up "Floyd's little brother" than Khan who is 2-2 in his last 4 and was blitzed by Danny Garcia already.

    1. He still beat him. Maidana has also lost since then.

    2. Still more entertaining than watching a boring one sided UD.

    3. He's fought more fighters similar to Maidana's style than fighters similar to Khan's style.

    4. Yes it did. Khan's speed has troubled everyone he's ever fought except Prescott and it's still more difficult for Floyd to deal with Khan's fast hands than Maidana's slow hands. How's Maidana gonna trouble Floyd?

    5. It's debatable who people would rather tune in to watch. Khan has historically been the bigger draw (I think). I don't see why people would wanna watch an even more one sided version of the Canelo/Gatti/Baldomir type fights. Seeing Floyd KO someone and potentially lose a round or two would be much more entertaining.
