    Have you guys noticed how much bigger Mayweather's head has become (physiologically)..?

    Watch Floyd Mayweather's post fight interview in his pro debut, and then watch 'Stephen A Smith's interview with Floyd Mayweather' on youtube.

    His head has gone so huge, his brain looks like it's about to pop out of his skull.

    come on dont down grade khan. khan never got ktfo cold before like pacquiao. pacquiao got knocked down by a jab the same age as khan. I think a khan fight will do 1.4 to 1.6 easy. i still dont know why he picked maidana when he has no drawing power.

    Khan is a solid opponent, if only for british fans. Mathysse is no challenge for TheBigEvader, too simple. I think Garcia won't do the trick either, he relies on countering, and you can't counter against mayweather's potshots. Lara is a solid challenge but he will get robbed against Canelo, so that fight will never happen. Maravilla (given that he beats Cotto) is a great fight, Cotto if he somehow beats Maravilla would be a less desirable fight, but a solid sell. Bradley would be ideal as an opponent, so May can say he beats all of Pac's toughest fights easy.

    TBE. TBE . The May Vinci Code, those lines must be enfuryiating great fighters of old and I am only speaking about welterweights and lighmiddleweights like Sugar Ray Leonard, The Body Snatcher Mike McCallum, Tommy Hitman Hearns, Terry Norris, The LoneStar Cobra Don Curry, The Magic Man Marlon Starling, El Radar Wilfred Benitez, Julio Cesar Chavez Snr, Pernell Sweat Pea Whitaker, The Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya, Félix Tito Trinidad, Ike Quartey, Fernando Vargas, Vernon Forrest, Winky Wright... Who the F*** does this guy think he is?

    Tbh I think all of may's fights are generally exciting

    Either someone comes to make it a fight vis a vis cotto/maidana

    Or we see some excellent skill and work from mayweather vis a vis guerrero/canelo

    All in all not really unwatchable but however, paying US level PPV for these fights? Only cotto/maidana fights were worth it

    Mayweather needs to take the test and fight The Special One: Kell Brook before he retires or his career is as a big a sham as Sven Ottke.

    Everybody says Khan vs mayweather is the best seller for Floyd currently, but what I don't understand is.. Khan vs Callazo was on the MAYWEATHER undercard, and apparently Khan being on the undercard didn't help draw much (if it did.. Mayweather's PPV buys would have been terrible without him and Broner).
    Maybe if Khan looked like a monster against Collazo then all those people who used to be Khan fans and casual fans that watched the PPV would buy Khan/ Mayweather, but I just don't see why people would.

    Maidana/ Mayweather 2 would prob sell better than Khan/ Mayweather, but I doubt the Maidana fight gets better #s than the first. Showtime has got to build up Thurman and Porter more, if Lara beats Canelo impressively that fight might sell (if Mayweathers fight him).. Otherwise the only big numbers is against Pac.

    Porter has a major title in Floyd's division, but Floyd wants no part of that little Tyson. It would be a huge PPV hit though, because people know that Porter actually has skills and can beat Floyd.

    Floyd will also duck Pacquiao, Lara and Thurman, because they have boxing skills, and Floyd doesn't fight guys with skills.

    The khan fight would sell a whole load in the uk.

    Remember when the duck fought hatton? The fight was huge in the uk and there were more brits there than americans. Same would happen with khan.

    Floyd will, as always, take the path of least resistance. Either poor comp or weight-drained fighters like Canelo- who obviously sold that event, given Floyds poor numbers showing against the Ghost and Marcos. Floyd will not fight Madaina again as Marcos no longer has to bend to Floyds chickin requests like the make of the gloves, and Floyd will simply pout till he gets his way.
