    Anyone with half a brain should know both Khan and Maidana are pathetic opponents for someone who claims to be the boxing GOAT and Ali's daddy, and who's in a position where he could get any fight made if he wanted.

    Floyd, in a very bold and shameless move, allowed people to vote for one of those two as his next opponent, and Chino won the swepstakes. This is akin to someone making you chose between two rotten apples to eat

    Khan the glass jawed, glass brained hasbeen, who would probably be chicken dancing from the first clean counter Floyd would land, or Maidana, the crude limited brawler, tailor made for Floyd's style like all the flatfooted mexican plodders he favours, and whose greatest achievement in life is exposing hypejob Broner (who had been exposed 3 times previously)

    Here's a list of fighters that would have been BETTER OPPONENTS for Floyd than both Khan and Maidana, and ofc, where ducked by the cherrypicker who claims GOATness but follows the path of max $$$ / least resistance


    154 lbs

    legit threats who might very well beat Floyd's ass

    The rest - they lose, but they still do better than Khan and Maidana

    Pretty sure i'm leaving people out so feel free to add more

    I need to clarify, I'm just picking fighters that Floyd could have fought in his next fight instead of Maidana and Khan but didn't.

    This is not a list of ALL the fighters Floyd has ducked in his career who are better than Khan and Maidana (williams, Margo, prime Pac etc)

    It'd be too long, and pointless

    By the way Thurman and Lara aren't threats. They are both vastly overrated.

    im just not sure why you expect floyd to fight above welterweight (his natural division where he is allready almost always outweighed on fight night) unless for big paydays ?

    lara and molina have next to no following GGG is slowly growing

    keith thurman is untested but will likely earn his shot within his next few fights and bradley v pac is scheduled not to mention both are with toprank and we all know about that old chestnut between floyd and arum

    maidana or khan were not great fights but when you really look into it there was not much else ? the haters would have a field day with thurman as a choice. maidana kind of made sense even though we allready know the result of this fight

    They'd both physically challenge him, and possess the one attribute Floyd fears the most and avoids like the plague: speed.

    along with superb footwork and counterpunching ability (Lara) and murderous power and explosiveness (Thurman)
    Floyd hasn't fought anything like these guys before.

    he just quit outright and settle.

    edit: i meant to say, he just outright admitted he slandered pac and paid. yeah, he quit.

    If that helps you sleep, Pacquaio still ducked in the ring.

    I agree Mayweather ducked Pacquiao, :deal

    MAY 4, 2010
    "I am willing to help the sport for the future of the sport. I do not want to see anyone cheat or cheat this sport. For that reason I am willing to consider taking blood as close as 14 days prior to the fight, as long as, my opponent does the same, and it is not a lot of blood, just enough to test," Pacquiao said.

    http://www.examiner.com/article/pacq...acks-out-video

    JULY 16, 2010
    Pacquiao agrees to a 14 day cut-off.

    JULY 18, 2010
    Mayweather jr says he's not thinking about Boxing, spending time with family.

    JULY 27, 2010
    Ellerbe denies negotiations took place, Mayweather made it clear he was taking time off.

    http://fighthype.com/pages/mayweathe...imeline-2.html

    and now......

    Floyd Mayweather:

    - ''Pacquiao is a ''HAS BEEN'' he has LOSSES''

    - "The only way he's getting the fight with me is if he signs with Mayweather Promotions. He's got to give me fights with Mayweather Promotions. If he don't give me no fights under Mayweather Promotions, then he's not getting the fight''.

    - ''WBC made Pacquiao the number 1 mandatory to fight me, he can have the belt''

    Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito when they were terrorizing the welterweight division. Floyd retired to avoid them! What a girl.

    Thurman doesn't belong in that list yet. He's still unproven and Golden Boy's next superstar, it would be stupid to cash him out early. Carlos Molina?, are for you for real? :lol:. That said, anyone and everyone in that list is a better opponent than Khan but I sure as hell won't rate Molina and Thurman over Maidana. Provodnikov, Pacquiao and Bradley are all TOP RANK fighters, think you know what that means by now.

    Remember when Pac agreed to no cutoffs in 2010 and then Koncz flat out exposed him as liar :lol:

    So why no cutoffs for Needles for Rios? Oh I guess he's not scared of them anymore :patsch
