    One day this nonsense about Khan bringing money to the table will stop.

    Right after the Canelo PPV I bet.

    Khan is and was always the better option..

    Anyone defnding his choice of Maidana is just on Floyds side of cherry picking ..Beating Broner didn't make him more credible at WW when he was never a true WW to begin with ..

    It wa just another cherry pick in the long line of them ..Khan had the better wins even Alexander was more worthy than Maidana ..

    Because Khan had beaten Maidana already, and don't make a song and dance about Maidana beating Broner, Broner was already shown to be nowhere near as good as everyone thought by PDL and Paulie.

    Put the crackpipe down.

    Floyd would have looked like a fool to fight Khan after Maidana became Champ by beating Broner.

    Because

    1- Khan and Devon mother****ing Alexander soundly beat Bumdana

    2- Bumdana never beat anyone of note (he wasn't even the first to expose hypejob never-has-been never-will-be Broner)

    3- Khan is actually fast, accurate, long, skilled, and stylistically a nightmare; when Bumdana is slow, predictable, cemented footed, and can't even punch straight

    Bonus!

    "I promise to my fans i will fight who they want me to fight"

    - Khan was selected in the poll -

    LOL @ Khan being accurate or skilled. He makes amateur mistakes.

    King Khan was a very skilled and accurate fighter mayweather was wise to avoid

    There's a difference between fast and skilled. Khan is just fast.

    I predicted this would happen when PBF fought Maidana there was a thread about it back then I should bump it.:deal

    PBF was in a no win situation with this one regardless of who he fought. If he had fought Khan people would have said he's ducking the more deserving Maidana who has shown that he can beat PBF's style by beating his clone and friend in Broner which was a big win and Khan has looked like **** lately getting dropped and going life and death with Diaz.

    He didn't fight Khan and you see what you're getting now in this thread.:deal

    Khan leaves himself open when he punches, has poor footwork, has poor defense, a low ring IQ, bad balance, and no inside game.

    Floyd asked for ppl to vote on Khan or Maidana, Khan won that vote. So he picked Maidana, what a turd. But saying that Maidana was by far a harder fight than Khan would of been.

    I really dont understand why people think Floyd ducked Khan, He had plenty of oppertunity to do it and Khan has never ever shut up about so it really could of been made and done by now. But Khan is 1 fighter that definatly would NOT give Floyd anything to worry about. He is good but come on.
