    ...yes, or maybe he is a "flat-footed, skill-less face first come forward brawler with no skill" that was supposed to be destroyed by GBPs spectacular new PPV sensation and global superstar, but instead put him down early and outboxed him for 10 of 12 rounds having his opponent flee the ring looking like an old lady pushing an invisible shopping cart.

    Might as well have Floyd vs. Julio Diaz over Khan.

    I wanted to see it BUT Khan does not derserve the fight. if he would've beat Devon then maybe he had a better chance. Mayweather knows he brings in more money but Mayweather is doing the right thing, Maidana has earned his shot

    Please. Both fights are an easy payday. Maidana will hang around missing punches for 12 rounds. Khan will be countered, dropped, maybe ko'd but will land a few punches with his in and out flurries.
    2 **** fights and all the back and forth "who's he gonna pick" nonsense doesn't make it any more interesting than it already is. Might as well title the poll which cherry do you guys wanna see picked

    Why do people think mayweather will ko khan? What is the basis for this opinion? Yes Khan has a bad chin which has been shattered by big big punchers not pinpoint boxers like mayweather also when was the last time mayweather had a legitimate ko?

    Has Mayweather ever fought someone with a worse chin than Khan?

    That's probably a better question.

    hattons chin was greater than most of mayweathers opponents chins. Also that was many many years ago and was his last legitimate ko also hatton was moving up from LWW also he took a beating over 10 rounds or however long it was it

    Floyd still hasn't announced who he's going to fight, but the fans have spoken. 70% of people want him to fight Manny Pacquiao and Erislandy Lara.

    This proves what a joke Floyd's poll was. He gave fans a "choice" between one B-fighter or another B-fighter.

    I love this "Khan beat Maidana" argument being touted like it trumps Maidana actually having welterweight experience (as opposed to Khan not having any) going 4-1 (3) at the weight including a world title victory.

    Hey, guess what? Prescott beat Khan, via KO1. He then would be the one truly most deserving of a May date, by the "Khan beat Maidana" logic, wouldn't he? ;)
