    There were 4 polls, khan lost 3 out of 4 by landslide and sneaked out the 4th one.

    All added together it was close to 70/30 in Chino's favor, but the clueless haters never let truth or facts enter into any of their child like thinking

    Because Khan had beaten Maidana.

    Styles. Floyd too often picks slow, plodding opponents.

    And Broner wasn't that good of a win tbh

    Because it was a cherry pick everyone with an ounce of common sense knew this ..Maidana was a come forward plodder who was beaten by khan and Alexander yet this is the guy Floyd chose to fight yeah if that wasn't cherry picking I don't know what is !

    Khan clearly brings more earning potential to the table but Floyd still ducked for the easier option.

    I don't get people's complaint more people overall wanted to see Maidana over Khan, Maidana was a World Champ and top 5 WW, was coming of the better recent string of wins. Head to head Khan barley s****ed a decision that in terms of rounds won judges scored a draw 6-6, to drill it home even more when chosen Maidana originally said screw Mayweather and called out Khan for a rematch instead only for Khan to run away.
    What's the problem?

    Maidana is what 35-5 out of the 5 only 2 are non debatable Alexander and Mayweather II

    Maidana put himself in a better position by beating Broner and being a Champion.

    Khan's earning potential is nothing in this Country or the UK.

    Amir is nothing or nobody to duck.:deal

    Fact is: Most polls on most social media sites had Maidana the clear winner, NOT KHAN.

    Fact is: Maidana was a champion at that time and Khan was feasting on feather fisted bums.

    Floyd made a mistake picking Maidana ROFL it was Mayweather that got slammed. " Maidana roughed me up & bullied me. the referee Tony Wilkes did nothing to stop him" :|:| :rofl
    Leonard kissed poor lil Floyd better though & Moretti & co made sure Floyd kept his 0:good:hi:

    Maidana was clearly the better option. He was a champion and had a lot of publicity as the guy who beat up Adrien Broner who many casuals believed was the heir apparent to Floyd. Khan had no belt and spent his time ducking Alexander

    If he'd fought and beat Khan, we'd be reading threads about how he ducked 'prime Maidana' from the same lunatics.
