    Really, who would have cared if he did not fight Maidana? He'd have fought who a majority of people wanted him to. WOuld some idiots claim he ducked a guy who lost a poll on his next opponent? Sure they would. Would they have a point? Heck no....all Floyd would have done is followed through with what he said.

    Broner isn't a lesser version of Floyd. IMO, Broner has nothing to do with Floyd, nor should even merit any comparison, even as floyd-lite.

    Anyway, like I said, that was my only qualm with the poll.

    Maidana won the poll here more people wanted him to fight pbf and felt he was more deserving casuals probably viewed khan as more deserving but casuals don't know **** about boxing.

    Maidana was more deserving of a fight than the guy who beat him? C'mon Man, we both know polls on this site are sh*t. Hate to break it, aside from a handful, this isn't exactly a place of great boxing knowledge.

    Anyway...no need to beat a dead horse.

    He fought Judah, Mitchell, Sanders, Ortiz, Guerrero, Pacquiao, Corley and Giepert.

    That looks like more than 3.

    Floyd was referring to an ESPN poll at the time. Khan get a ton of hate here, so it's hard to take serious what a lot claim about him.

    Maidana beating Broner to be worthy makes about as much sense as beating Andre berto to show one is worthy. Just my 2 cents.

    Hatton was getting wobbled by everyone at that stage of his career. Pillow fisted Floyd proved that. He was the last ko on his record
