    Here's the breakdown. Out of all three of those gents last four fights, there is only one odd opponent each. Pac's is Rios, Bradley's is Ruslan, and JMM's is Fedchenko:huh. Other than that, they have been fighting each other. Now, what I am saying is that the last four fighters that Maidana fought are better than those three and he stopped three of them and beat the brakes off the other one. That makes him the only constant winner because Pac, Bradley and JMM has been beating up on each other. Maidana is my pick to beat all three of them.

    You conveniently left out the fact team Garcia didn't want to fight Mayweather regardless if he was available or not...

    Yeah maybe Cotto did better than people thought he would but he still lost by a wide margin.. He lost at his own game and at his own weight at that.. He's done nothing else to deserve another fight with Floyd.. If you miss out on your shot at Floyd, it's over for you.. I could have sworn the first one was a cherry pick anyway...

    The whole Martinez debate.. Let's just agree to disagree...

    Boxing is different than music. For a boxer all the money comes from the event itself and people either tune in or don't, no other options. A musician has many other sources out of events to display his talent and make money.

    The same way they ate up the Bradley fight. Arum have some nerve to suggest fans should not tune in to Mayweather bout, but had no problem with them buying Bradley vs Pac 2.

    Why are people on here more obsessed with money and ppv sales than they are Boxing?

    :roflMaidan took a beating from Joselito Lopez. The reason he won the sleazebag broner sweepstakes and now is fighting Pac. I like Marcus and am happy he is getting a big payday, but he isn't near the level of Pac, JMM or Bradley.

    You're high:nut

    Maidana is the only good option available at this time I think this will be a very easy Fight for Floyd he will win all the rounds and I think he might even stop Chino.

    Now getting back to the casual fans talk I agree most fans DKSAB same way they think Bieber is great I personally think Floyd has as much haters as he has fans which help him with his numbers.

    True boxing fans who understand the sport know this is not a "great" fight but also know this is the only option available at this time.

    You can look at the fight anyway you want to, but the fact is that Lopez got stopped by Maidana. You can call Broner a sleazebag or whatever but he is a dam good fighter and was a champion at the time, but just like you, he under estimated Maidana, and that's Marcos not Marcus. At this point, the only level that Pac, JMM, and Bradley has on Maidana is money. JMM is too old, Pac is too cautious, and Bradley is just not there yet. I would favor Maidana over all three.:bbb

    You would favor Maidana over all 3:lol:based on what his win over Broner :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    They would all beat the breaks of Chino in the same way if not worse than Alexander did ..
