    "isn't a 154lb fighter" yet is the lineal champ? :lol::-(

    each saying they'd drop to 154 to fight him since he is the "lineal champ" at 154, but then again, "lineal champ" at 154 yet wanted to fight the biggest hype job of 154 at 147 thus making him suggest a 152 catchweight yet Floyd had nothing to do with the catchweight since he wanted the fight at 147 right? just like he won't have any responsibility on his next fraud of a match since he's "allowing" the fans to "choose", yet rather than "really" "choosing" he gives TWO names to "choose" from rather than "actually" letting the fans "choose" since he knows they'd pick Pacquiao/Bradley/GGG/Lara/Martinez/Thurman

    It would be nice to see Khan on the undercard fighting a decent opponent.

    It's great and all but I thought Broner wouldn't fight Mayweather?

    Trickier ?

    Not really. Soon as mayweather lands a looping right it's game over for khan

    Chino is the trickier fight

    If Mayweather is knocking Khan out then it's from a counter left hook followed by another left hook or right hand...Maybe an uppercut might find it's way in there too.

    He's clearly undersized at 154lb hater.

    Alvarez had 15lb on him fight night. His skill set allowed him to become the 154lb champ, not his size.

    What trickery does Maidana bring that is more trickier than Khan's:

    - Reach
    - Speed
    - Boxing skill
    - Movement
    - ...

    Mayweather Promotions will obviously cook the #'s in favor of Con. The site was down for 'maintenance' quite awhile yesterday. His I.T. geeks are all over it!

    Only 17,000 plus votes ? What happened to those 2.2 Millions who bought the Floyd/Canelo fight ?

    Hater? for what telling the truth? He's still the "lineal champ" so either fight or vacate it. So he's skilled enough to fight Alvarez who has 15lb on him fight night but not skilled enough to fight GGG/Martinez who too might hold a 15lb on him?

    I don't understand how so many "fans" cannot see this. At least Khan brings something different. His biggest weakness (his chin) is minimized here against a defensive fighter without a lot of power. And his best qualities (speed and boxing skill) are better than any Floyd opponent in years.. I Love Maidana, but the guy is the same exact style fight for Floyd as everyone else Floyd has fought recently. Too slow and plodding. Both likely lose, but I'd rather watch a new episode than the same old Floyd replay.

    Casual fans don't follow closely.
