Ha no doubt, problem is that Khan don't want to face Maidana again and Maidana wants that Floyd payday. Good thing is though is that if my Boy dosen't get the Floyd payday he will put a beating on Broner again which will be a delight to watch.:good

I would like to hear everyones reasoning. I agree that both of them are less than desirable opponents but you also have to be realistic at the same time.

1 - floyd isn't fighting any fighter that has spent most of their career at 154 or higher.

2 - floyd isn't fighting anyone that won't bring him a reasonable amount of money.

3 - Bob Arum won't do business outside of his promotional group unless he gets to control the event.

4 - Floyd isn't fighting anyone that has not headlined their own PPV or atleast head lined a major fight

these are 4 facts that we know with out a doubt so why so much criticism about khan or maidana?

Sugar Ray Leonard fought Larry Bonds & Ayub Karule after beating duran but before fighting thomas hearns

ODLH fought Oba Carr between Quartay & Trinidad and Derrel Correl between Trinidad & mosley

The only point I'm trying to make is every fight can't be a top notch opponent unfortunately for us, simple fact is the 147 pound division isn't even that competitive at the moment for it to be this way. I think Danny Garcia will be willing to challenge floyd but I think he's going to wait till floyds last two fights to try to make the fight. Besides him until pacquiao or tim bradley come out of their contracts we won't get that. Those are pretty much the remaining fighters that are realistic options. GGG, Lara, or any one at 160 isn't realistic.

Maidana before Khan, way before Khan. Khan was stopped in 4 by Danny Garcia. Maidana has never been stopped, and recently beat Broner. Yeah, Khan has a win over Maidana but it was close and things have changed since that fight.

If he couldn't beat Alexander or Khan, why would anyone believe that Maidana would have a chance against Floyd. Broner is going to beat Maidana ass in the rematch.

Maidana deserves it he has a belt at th weight. Khan would make interesting for a few rounds.

He doesn't have many option the. Should fight Pac and retire.
