    i lost all interest in floyd/pac fight after the 3rd jmm/pac fight. pacquaio never had a chance against floyd. why everyone still wants to see that fight is a mystery to me. there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans and it's really a lose/lose situation for floyd.

    seriously...dude gets dropped nasty by julio diaz...then there's the not so impressive win over molina. he hasn't really redeemed himself since his ko loss to danny garcia. how or why he is even being mentioned to fight floyd makes no sense to me.

    fyi: i thought u were that dude boxing_hater_programer_farmclown

    yes i have been a idiot plenty but NOT when it comes to this sport..

    i know boxing inside and out and always call it like i see. no one
    can ever call me a fighter hater, i respect almost every man woman that
    steps in that ring with the exception of ant marg. i hate that bum on
    a professional and personal level. used his size and foreign objects
    to be able to compete..

    however, i certainty am a poster hater to the enth degree. i cannot
    stand the kids that call champs bums and cowards, that really erks me.
    and posts like your last one, floyd ducking the division in 2007 LMFAO

    the only one that was a big fight was cotto and floyd new he wasnt getting that.
    dude, he passed up an easy easy rematch at 147 against odh for big money cause he was
    sticking to jis guns. he told everyone he was stepping away for at least 1 or 2 ynd ears.
    it had zero to with available people at 147 which NO ONE was available.

    truth is floyd was breaking down, he had hand back and shoulder problems
    which was majorly hindering his training habits. he needed to give it a rest
    after beating his body for his whole life. thats a great thinng to do if you
    want to extend your career and come back with more hype than ever. as soon as
    he started feeling better he started training and mentioning comin back.

    guess what he said in his first few interview, yp he said u am coming back to whip
    that boy paq. he was targeting him the whole time. you guys claim h ducks everyone
    yet almost ALL the people he supposedly ducked he has whipped now except paq and
    thats even more clear to haters like you that paq does NOT maek any effort for the fighting hi
    except using his name in interviews, conning the public into thinking he has floyd running

    floyd couldnt care less that haters spew all that nonsense, people within boxing know whats up.
    he did walk away, NOT FLOYD. and the wbc gifted him a mando spot which should had ben enforced
    immediately. any other fighter would be all over that man.

    so all that i hate is a certain clown with multiple accounts that spews the same nonsense
    every post. he cannot talk ANYTHING except floyd hate. i also hate uninformed people who think
    they know and spread BS.. like your post about ducking 2007. COME ON NOW. WW,JWW and JMW are 10x better
    now than 20067

    While I agree that it isn't the best PPV fight that could be made, he's still better than Khan. Amir has done nothing in the last year and a half and you just can't put someone like that on the big stage with so many viable contenders available and so much money on the line.

    no interest, he will whip him worse than gatti and i like maidana a lot.
    so i think he should take the boner payday and move on. floyd whips him so bad
    its not even funny. YES khan will put up a fight, maidana isnt capable against floyd.

    a badass he is but too slow and no defence. he tough but would ever see the final bell

    It appears that Khan will win the poll for being the more recognizable boxer whether he is more deserving of the shot or not. I hear a lot of cases being made for one guy or the other by narrowing in on one aspect which naturally lends itself to bias. Who will win more rounds or who has the better chin? A case can be made for both that way. I've been giving this some thought and concluded that it is really 6 of 1 or half dozen of the other. In other words they both stand about the same chance based on their qualities. The fact that Khan and Maidana fought a close fight is a testament to that. I only hope that if Pacquiao defeats Bradley that somehow the big fight can be made in Sep as has been rumored.

    No he hasn't beaten worldbeaters either but he beat the same level of comp the other 2 have recently. Maidana was getting outboxed by friggin Lopez. Thurman looked better than both Chino and Khan and he has a belt. Maidana doesn't even have a punchers chance... 4 stoppages in his last 9 fights and Khan took his best shots but who knows...maybe Floyd really wants Senchenkos belt.

    Thurmans recent resume is not much worse than the other 2 but at least he mostly dominated.
    So why not One Time?

    Thurman isn't nearly ready for Mayweather. He's not even ready for Bradley at this point in time.

    And ****ing Khan is?!?!?!

    Jesus man, Thurman>Khan all day

    Problem with Thurman is he has no ppv pull as hes not a star yet. But the thing with fighting money is, you make fans as tons of people HATE Mayweather. It's like how back in the day guys like Mayorga got big for a short time off De La Hoyas name....In no way shape or form did Mayorga deserve a shot and in no way did he have the name to casuals

    Floyd doesn't usually fight anyone in their prime...surprised the hell out of me when he fought Canelo. I guess they saw some very exploitable flaws and tendencies!!!

    I would'nt mind seeing that match up....I can see Thurman bringing it to him!

    Nice! I would love that match up, Maidana vs Khan @ 147, Maidana will get his revenge...

    So Mayweather has to choose another opponent.
