    But my point is that even though people know Khan They Know how average he is they know him for getting KTFO by Garcia not for some big win, at least if a guy is unkown you can pretend he is something special and people who don't follow boxing will be none the wiser, the casuals will have seen Khan get his ass beaten and KTFO so will know he has no chance.

    I would much rather see Khan against Mayweather. This is going to be much more one sided.

    What does the video say cant watch it

    Am I the only one who thinks Floyd stops Maidana
    He will break him down with counters and body shots so then Maidana will be going back but wont be able to dodge the punches

    Its a perfect opponent for Floyd to stop he will see every shot coming from a mile away

    Mayweather taking the easy route if this is true. Khan is stylistically more difficult than Maidana and he's beaten Maidana. Also, if Mayweather beats Maidana now, that makes the Broner rematch much less interesting.

    Na its not just Chino's punch it's that style he has developed under Garcia. I really thought Broner would box Chino's head off, but by trying to use basic, textbook boxing Maidana has developed this really awkward herky jerky style. Where I'm positive is Floyd for sure will counter the jab all night, but Chino has an iron chin, more durable than Khan, and can make it interesting if he brings back the old Maidana and smother Floyd on the inside. Floyd can fight Khan later. Khan could fight Broner or Soto Karass.

    Maidana is one of the most exciting boxers in the sport.

    And he just rallied off a few impressive wins at WW including scooping up a title.

    How is he not deserving? A clear top 10 WW with the above two statements also working for him.


    I hope it's Maidana and not Khan.

    I just wish all the soon-to-be critics would have and will stay consistent with their views.

    You're a resume fapper and a status quo ******. You completely ignore styles, which makes your posts worth ignoring.

    Khan is a better opponent. Maidana is tailormade for PBF and will get schooled easy work.:deal

    Mayweather has fought an amazing diversity of opposition.

    He has fought plenty of guys with fast hands. Khan is that.

    He has not fought all that many guys seen as "KO artists." Maidana is that.

    Canelo, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosley all hit harder than Floyd. Who was the last opponent that could compete with Floyd's hand speed and overall quickness? Zab Judah? And didn't Judah win rounds off of prime Floyd? The truth is, you don't want to see Floyd lose or look bad. You want to see the status quo upheld and reinforced.

    Khan has a chance to land a punch

    Maidana has no chance to land anything, still exciting...After Mayweather beats Maidana we want to see him face the guy that put Maidana on his kness :smoke


    May Maidana

    September Khan
