    I scored it to Khan as well, but it was no robbery by any means.

    neither fight is marquee, but Madaina deserves it more. He has no chance though as his aggression will be stopped by any referee Floyd hires for the fight. FLoyd is a VERY protected fighter in the ring, which is one reason he has persisted for as long as he has -that and the cherry pickin of course.

    Right now Pac has the best shot at Floyd as he is at least on equal terms and the refs won't be able to screw him - but the judges most likely would..

    yep slowly I see the trend here and on twitter Floyd going to duck the harder fight in Khan. I am personally now wanting the Maidana fight with Broner/Khan on the undercard

    if you guys thought mayweather-guerrero and mayweather-alvarez was boring, just wait until you see just how one-dimensional maidana is

    maidana gets pot-shotted all night

    No kool aid but let's face it bro....Khan would get sent to ***** Street with a big KO....Maidana will stand his ground:hey

    Maidana will go for the KO and make it a messy fight unlike Canelo or Khan:cool:

    Bottom line is Floyd will beat anybody at 147 and Maidana has a better track record at 147 than Khan who has s..hit at 147:nut

    totally agree, but he deserves to be pot-shotted (the $$$) more than Khan deserves to be KTFO. Lets face it. Floyd should be fighting Pac at this point in time. Floyd is a puss.

    That fight is 4 years removed from meaning the most it possibly could have and 2 years removed from being past its expiration date.

    Move on.

    The promotional and network cold war is real.

    u do know the check hook is one of floyds favorite punches right?

    his last two ko's were scored with left hooks.

    khan has been dropped too many times to count by the left hook. it would be no different against floyd.

    broner has a great chin or he would have got what khan got against garcia.
    not to mention maidana cracks harder then garcia as well not by much though.
    if he hurts khan he will stop him i think. but i never seen kahn broken down its always a single hard shot that gets him out of there. im not sure floyd will hit him that hard unless he has him hurt.

    but i know khan game plan and im just wondering how well it will work. its game plan no one has used against floyd either. guess what it is.

    I would not care either way--I most likely won't be buying either fight.

    I will give you 4 and I don't want any excuses , a supposed ATG should be able to 1. fight Manny Paquiao at 147
    2.fight Sergio Martinez at 154
    3 fight GGG at 154 or 160
    4 Lara as an other option at 154

    these are the only acceptable fights that would prove Floyds greatness, he might as well retire and not continue to bore us with these other supposed **** fights.
