    Amir khan had problems with pressure fighters, Floyd is none so styles makes fight and if he doesn't get caught then Floyd could have problems. But still 90-10 in Floyd's favor

    Team Garcia are smart and I reckon they will never pursue the Mayweather fight unless they genuinely think they can beat him. They working towards him being the next undefeated superstar and will use the mayweather 0 marketing that has made him so much money.. In an ideal world this shouldn't be the case.

    Wrt Bradley, no idea why he signed extension with top rank when he could have pursued mayweather? Maybe he didn't want to risk not getting the fight when he knows he got PAC 2..

    Too much politics in boxing.

    As others have said, neither fighter has a real chance of winning but in terms of styles... Defo prefer to see Khan

    Top post. I think many people really take for granted how great a fighter Floyd is... And the same goes for Pac... A real shame when they retire and only then will people recognise how great they were

    Amir Khan didn't prove the haters as you called them wrong when he got sparked by Prescott, when he got beaten by Peterson, when Garcia smashed him, when he went life and death with a LW journeyman, Your clearly a Khan nut hugger only you could think Khan deserves to fight Mayweather

    in this order

    Timothy Bradley (Just beat the guy who KO'd Pacquiao, undefeated and fellow title holder at WW)
    Erislandy Lara (Beat Trout wider than Canelo did and second only to Mayweather at 154)
    Danny Garcia (Lineal Champion at the weightclass below Mayweather)
    Manny Pacquiao (Rios fight doesn't really do enough after being KO'd, but he's still Manny)
    Marcos Maidana (Has been a nice streak after hiring Robert Garcia and just win a WW title against Lil Bro)
    Ruslan Provodnikov (Just beat Alvarado at a weightclass below)
    Amir Khan (won 2 fights unimpressively after losing 2 fights. Stylistically, he's an interesting fight though)

    GGG will weigh in at 154 and you're trying to say he will gain 21 pounds after?:lol:

    At 154, GGG won't be any bigger than Canelo

    Maidana already said that wont happen because his wife goes into labor around that time and he wants to be there not out somewhere training. If he got the floyd fight that would be the exception other than that he said the earliest he will fight will be june.

    I personally think that if maidana got the fight with floyd the fight would look more like cotto/floyd than canelo/floyd. people fail to realize that canelo tried to box with floyd while cotto tried to cut the ring off stay busy and work the body and he did a good job catching floyd with shots and busting floyds nose. thats what a fight with maidana would look like. maidana is a much much better fighter than the fighter that lost to khan nearly 4 years ago. maidana would ko khan in less than 4 rounds today.

    Could quite easily see Floyd vs Maidana,who by the way I think earned it with his Broner win.But now I couldn't ever see Amir boxing Broner.He wants a Mayweather fight for his pension.If he doesn't get that I could see him tackling Brook in Sheffield if Brook doesn't get his shot and Marcos gets the Floyd fight instead of him.

    Just becuase we differ in opinion doesn't give you leeway to be rude. I've stated my opinion both Lara and Midana lose so your pretty much arguing who will be the better loser again I respect Lara's am background but on the pro level Midana has done more and is more experienced in fights close to that level which is not debatable when looking at the circumstances I'd rather the real WBA WW Champ get the fight over the interim WBA JMW Champ.

    And yes imo beating overhyped unbeaten* Broner is better than beating coming off a loss Trout.
