    Neither of these fights will add to Floyd's legacy but I won't mind seeing Floyd fight either.

    Well sir your opinion is garbage the only thing we can go off of in determining matchups is style and level of comp both styles are equally intriguing but Midana has the level of comp to back up his claims. And get serious Midana actually fights more people will pick Midana to beat Mayweather than Lara (then again Midana has a chance to be next so noone will say he has a chance), I'd give a boxer like Bradley a chance but not Lara

    Despite numerous pleas, Amir Khan who thinks himself a global sports icon has been left embarrassed after being unable to get more than 1% of his twitter followers to vote him as the vote looks likely to be a close finish, leaving his claims of having millions of fans across the world in ruins.

    made worse for khans case is that espn poll in the US only, where the ppv money actually comes from , have Maidana leading in every single state by a large majority . the majority of boxing fans sites also have maidana far in the lead

    the real winner is maidana. whos name has been elevated through taking a supposed social media king to a 50/50 finish

    He may deserve it more, but the better fight to watch would be against Khan. I have no interest in watching floyd pick off a flat footed MM all night, with a big smile on his face. Both fighters lose to Floyd, but the Khan fight will be more exciting

    The seething hatred conceals a real fear that Amir might beat Mayweather and permanently write himself into boxing folklore. This would be fatally devastating to the racist haters who struggle to find a credible pretext for objecting to his fight with Floyd.

    So Id like to know just what method they would use to remove themselves from this mortal coil should the british parkistani muslim beat the legend?

    While we are discussing things that will never happen, how would the world react if ****** Beiber released a good song?

    Well, there is a substantial amount of PPV money to be made in Great Britain. It's my understanding that Ricky Hatton actually ended up making more overall money than Mayweather during the fight due to ppv revenue in his country.

    Whether or not Khan has many fans in his own country. This fight (if it goes through) will generate a lot of interest in Great Britain. And I'm sure, like Mayweather, Khan's detractors will still be interested in watching him.

    i liked his first album, some catchy tunes that pefectly captured the euphoric thrill of teenage love.
