    It's still higher than Khan's 0%. That all the Mayweather fans want Khan to get the fight should let you know who's the bigger threat.

    the 75% was only at the beginning where there weren't that many votes made - so just a small amount of votes to Khan would drop that 75% significantly. But now - it's 51% to Maidana (approx 8500 votes) and 49% to Khan (approx 8000 votes). Khan is still 500 votes behind which you wouldn't think by just looking at the percentages.

    With Khan we get to see how Floyd adapts to someone that's tall , got the same arm length as him (rare), and got quick hands. Even if it don't last 12 rounds, it'l be exciting while it lasts. With Maidana - we've seen it all before.

    It would be exciting to watch Wlad knockout the dictator of North Korea but it wouldn't constitute a proper boxing match. Floyd would be fighting a champion in Maidana; in Khan he would be fighting someone whose chin shatters when an opera singer the right note.

    BTW, Mayweather's arms aren't that long. Paul Williams, Martinez, and Lara have even longer arms; perhaps that's why...... well, you know....

    But in this case Khan's actually a boxer and has beat world class fighters - poor analogy :patsch

    They are long for a guy that started at FW - Well done Sherlock, surprised you haven't mentioned any heavyweights in your list? I was talking about guys that fought Mayweather already. :happy

    He is a massive Khantard, that's why.

    I understand you are a Brit and so you want you nice little Brit boy to get the fight, but there is one thing you forget: outside the UK Khan is regarded as a joke. You Poms have an unfortunate tendency of thinking your fighters are much better than they actually are. Look at how you all got behind Haye and thought he was going to beat Wlad when the rest of the world knew Wlad would win comfortably.

    Keep your little glass chinned warrior on your damp little island. No one else cares about him.

    Regardless of your little rant - stylistically, Khan is a tougher match-up for Floyd. I'm not saying he's going to beat him, but if it's out of either Khan or Maidana, Khan is the better fight. I didn't think Haye would win - Haye is not a heavyweight, he's blown up with muscle mass in order to try and compete with the heavyweight's. However, watch out for Anthony Joshua - he's a real heavy weight prospect.

    He couldn't even KO Khan or Broner so I'd say it's less than 5%, more like 0.5%.

    Khan is a much trickier fight than Maidana. Both lose obviously though.
