    Who do u really want to see??

    I think Mayweather is really trying to get the Maidana fight. He's probably telling Broner just back down for a while and let me get this, who knows maybe Broner is like "NO'! I want my rematch!

    So what excuses will come if he fights Maidana??

    1- Thats Khan's leftovers
    2 - tailor made, all he's done is beat an overrated Broner
    3- Has no boxing skills, he should give khan his rematch!
    4- he cant handle Khan's speed so he picked the way easier fight in Maidana

    If Khan

    1- hasnt beat anybody in the last 2 years.
    2- should've fought Maidana
    3- weak chin who cares.
    4- Maidana would test that Floyd's weak chin, now hes fighting somebody with no power

    and the list goes on and on and on.

    So lets just keep a pole going because Mayweather is gonna announce his fight soon. most likely by the same time he did Guerrero (i think mid Feburay)

    and is u want to add excuses for each side go right ahead. some people will say hes ducking Khan to fight a tailor made Maidana, lets just be real here

    I would rather Maidana as he has a belt but neither are great fights. Khan is awful to be perfectly honest, he is shot to bits. Im still hoping Floyd pulls out a wild card and gets everyone talking e.g GGG/Lara/Sturm etc.

    Im a huge Floyd fan but i would honestly rather see him really extend himself and lose (fight at 160) than fight weak opponents and retire undefeated and never fully tested.

    Floyd is a fantastic fighter and talent and whoever he fights seems to have often unfair critism.
    Maybe a match with T Bradley as an undefeated fighter in his division

    I've wanted to see the Bradley fight but bradley kinda threw that away re signing with Top Rank.

    Personally id prefer the Maidana fight but in all honesty Marcos doesnt have a shot in hell of beating Floyd and would likely get outboxed for 12 rounds

    What I really want to see is Mayweather fight Erislandy Lara at 154

    hes bigger than maidana, stronger, hits harder and has great skills to boot and right now is Mayweathers greatest threat

    I get what u saying but why does he have to move up. so basically hes that good that the only way he gets challanged is if he moves up to where he doesnt belong?? he really doesnt belong at 154 he just fought there to make the big fights, hes a WW. Thers been plenty of fights thru histroy thats stayed at one weight class for a long period of time, thats what long regining champs do. and cant hate on Mayweather for not moving up, espcially at 37

    Excuses??? Neither of those 2 are in the top 10 of who Floyd should be fighting. Get serious.

    Other than Juan Manuel Marquez, Floyd's opponents have been C level average since 2005. But people will defend that by saying that Guerrero (or whoever) was ranked #2 ... because we know the ranking system is perfect... or my favorite: He fought Cotto "at his most comfortable weight"

    Now the crybabies will bring up Pacquiao predictibly, because I said something negative about Floyd so I must be a ******* right? Just to be clear, Pacs resume is pretty similar. At least he is fighting a guy that he should be fighting next.

    Let's be honest and admit Floyd is doing his usual cherry-picking.

    U can say Khan is not in the top 10 but Miadana isnt??? Based on what :huh:huh

    Dont be a dummy!Maidana has won 3 fights in a row at WW, has a title, and to be honest probably #2 behind Bradley. JMM #3, Pac #4 Thruman, Porter to round it out. Maidana not top 10?? dumbest post i seen in awhile :lol::lol::lol:

    There is no commisonier in the sport of boxing, everybody picks there opponets not just Floyd. how u think Rios got the fight? how about Ortiz vs Collazo?? everybody picks there fights bro.

    Mayweather is actually trying to pick the more dangerous fighter (Maidana) i just know hes running into problems with rematch with Broner, Maidana having kid, he actually doesnt want to fight Khan or it would've been announced along time ago

    Maidana would be ok, even if he doesn't have much of a chance. He will come to fight. Khan would have been ok a few years or even today if he was coming off a decent win, but he looked so bad lately.
