    Then why don't you advocate for someone like Bundu, if you're not concerned about resume? Based strictly on style, the Italian gives FMJ way more trouble than Khan ever could, simply because he has more dimensions and better fundamentals.

    As for the choice btx Khan and Maidana, Chino's more proven at WW and has been in better form than Khan as of late. He's got a title and honestly, a fight with Maidana's probably going to be more exciting..and more competitive than a fight with Khan could ever have been.

    :deal

    Leo is as bad as it possibly gets for Mayweather in risk to reward terms. :yep


    Worse even than Lara. (who at least has been on American TV a few times, and looked surprisingly flawed or at times downright ordinary against the likes of Angulo, Molina and Martirosyan...while Bundu is pretty much all class every night out, facing a not much lower tier...)

    Simple as that. :good

    To be honest from a Huge " Money" Mayweather fan!!! Personally I would like him to face Maidana since he has come of a huge victory a has defeated solid guys as well. But, want be upset if he picks Khan because its a Money fight that would easily sell and satisfy people who like Money!!

    IMO he would be because PBF is 37 and even though Khan doesn't use his speed properly he still has fast hands and is the fastest opponent PBF has faced in some time. PBF while still great has slowed down. Khan has a jab and might still be able to hit PBF more and disrupt his rhythm keeping him more honest that Maidana who has nothing that bothers PBF other than a looping overhand right which PBF would neutralize after 1 round. Khan stylistically brings more to the table in this fight than Maidana does who IMO couldn't be more tailormade for PBF. Even though Maidana has earned it more he's easy work. PBF has him beat at all ranges at least Khan could make it more interesting on the outside because of his length jab and speed.

    Lastly I would rather him face a fast guy like Khan now rather than his last two fights due to the fact he will be that much older. IMO PBF is making a mistake if he's planing on fighting a speedster like Khan down the line when his reflexes have further deteriorated, face him now rather than later.

    :nonoMaidana will get in a few good hits on Money...All he has to do is fight nasty, which he can, early in the rounds.

    I agree Floyd has the iron curtain/ The defensive wizzard wall but I still expect Maidana to land some hits but only very early on in the fight.

    His Daddy does as his Daddy saw Pacquiao beat the sh*t out of Ricky Hatton from a couple of feet away.Pacquiao was so good that Floyds Daddy was convinced he was on drugs and that he would hurt Floyd badly the rest is history as the Mayweathers set out to smear Pacquiao as they were to afraid to fight him.

    Look Money dont care about Broner and why should he?:huh
    Floyd will patch things up with AB before he retires so he can OWN Broner as one of his fighters IMO:yep

    Lara would be a solid match-up :bbbbut other than real boxing fans he has no NAME with the common/casual boxing fan:verysad

    Floyd is all about the Bucks and the B--I--TCH's:rofl He knows people are talking about Maidana because the casual people just watched him beat down Floyd lil Brother....This will be promoted as Floyd taking up for AB but he could care less for AB. I wish AB would realize that the Mayweathers look out for the Mayweathers and he is not one bro:deal

    WAR MAIDANA:smoke

    To be totally honest, I do not care for a Mayweather vs Khan or Maidana. It is a total waste of time IMO.



    But if Khan does get the fight, I beleive his only hope to be Mayweather is ROACH!

    Khan trying to fight like Ward is a big problem IMO. Khan suspect chain is left expose for 12 rounds fighting under the directions of Virgil Hunter. He fights at a slower pace, he ready dosent attempt to KO his oppenet because he constantly trying to rely on defense that is not natural to him. With the way he fights under Virgil hill, he will attempt to out-box Mayweather which we all know will not work. Virgil hill style seems to nuturalize his speed in power.




    Now when Khan faught under Roach, his defense was still shitty but he was nice offensively. He would constantly jump in and out throwing hard combos. He look at his very best when he beat up Zab. If he got any chance at beating Mayweather, he needs Roach on his team. Roach will take full advantage of Khans speed and power! What do you think?

    Maidana is a lot more deserving than the granite chinned Khan. However this is a cherry pick. There are more dangerous fighters out there, Thurman, Brook even Porter. What is Maidanas chance of winning this fight. In what scenario will he get a decision? None, Floyd will potshot single punches and let Maidana make the fight. Ko? Maidana has power to hurt but not power to stop with single punches. At the very worst, Marcos lands a decent shot and Floyd goes jelly legs for a short time and then holds on until his senses return. Very unlikely ko scenario.

    This is almost a guaranteed 12 round decision to Floyd. MM will come in fit and throw a lot of punches but it wont be enough. Good luck to him though. It only takes one fight to get old and one very decent punch to change a fight.

    What do you mean? Those 4 bums are considered major players by the "p4p" self proclaimed "number 1".

    That tells you everything you need to know about the division.
