I just can't get how bad Maidana looked v. Alexander out my head
Feb 04th 2014

      Khan is probably the most gifted non-Pacquiao figher in that window
Feb 04th 2014
22
           yup, he's this generations Zab
Feb 04th 2014
23
                I'd say he's a bit more gifted than Zab even
Feb 05th 2014
25
Seems like he wants to (and is going to) fight Khan
Feb 04th 2014

I agree and besides I thought Maidana was already locked into
Feb 04th 2014
5
Collazo has more significant wins at welterweight than Khan
Feb 04th 2014
6
      fairweather fans don't know who Collazo is.
Feb 04th 2014
16
           Oh for sure.. and I'm not saying Collazo should even be considered
Feb 04th 2014
17
I hope it's Khan. That has a chance to be competitive
Feb 04th 2014

      So he can say "I gave the fans what they wanted"

Just the fact that it was any kind
of close is problematic for Khan.
Khan clearly won, but it was still
way too close.

Khan deserved the win, but was rocked several times and got solidly put on his ass.. at least once, maybe twice, i can't remember.

Maidana is tailor-made to be shutout/outclassed by Floyd.

So Khan should have time to settle into
the fight and catch his rhythm before
Floyd lays heavy leather on him.

simply because khan has looked bad in his last couple of fights
and hasn't had a televised fight since.......exactly
i'm not sure how he deserves a shot at floyd at all

maidana is basically a gate keeper fighter who floyd will shut out for 12 rounds
but he kind of fits the mold of some of floyds last few opponents (ortiz,ghost) in that he had a good win over an overrated black fighter
so i guess he "deserves" a chance at floyd, certainly more than khan

at least in Khan's losses - he was still impressive
in bouts, and against Garcia, he was thoroughly
controlling the action for 3 rounds before getting
blitzed.

Maidana was just lost for 12 rounds v. Alexander,
and Floyd (an even better technical fighter than
Alexander) - will put on a clinic without barely
breaking a sweat.

Now, he's obviously got other problems

But his natural ability to box is Hall of Fame caliber

different issues, but same level of missed potential
if you wanted to i guess you could plea cop all of his losses
2 "lucky" knock outs and imo he won the peterson fight
his hand speed and length could give floyd trouble early
just not sure he's done enough lately to leap frog so many dudes for that payday

Zab was great (and actually has had a great career) but
was certainly propped up my Brooklyn hype

None of that with Khan

He was just nice like that

Just pointing out the quirk that Khan doesn't even have a single fight at welter, let alone a win

Maidana won't win a round.

So you think this poll is bogus? It kinda seems
like it, but why do it, then? To stir up artificial
anticipation?

I doubt he releases the real results

I'm not mad at him, btw

Floyd has to resort to shit like this because people
are so petty and hateful

That said, I think its silly

Mayweather is an A++++++ fighter who isn't much of a puncher. No way Khan wins, but his style may make this one of the more interestign Mayweather fights we've seen in a while.

agreed. It's a much better clash of styles than is
Floyd-Maidana.

being as that broner has exercised his rematch clause to fight maidana. and my understanding is that schaeffer was working on putting this together.

i call BS. he's fighting khan in may.

if floyd wants maidana that rematch clause won't mean a thing
i thought that as soon as broner said he wanted the rematch, better clear that shit by floyd first

but I believe it the clause didn't call
for an immediate rematch within 6 months, perhaps
a rematch within 9-12 months as each contract
is crafted differently....

but yea, if floyd wants maidana lil bro is moving
aside.

J. Mayweather: Khan Not Liked, Does Not Deserve Floyd!

By Edward Chaykovsky

The probable fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Amir Khan is not looking so probable anymore. Due to the backlash of Khan being inactive since last June and going life and death with former champion Julio Diaz, fans have been mounting an internet movement to get WBA champion Marcos Maidana in position to face Mayweather on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Trainer Jeff Mayweather, the uncle of Floyd, told boxing scribe David Mayo that Khan's name has a lot of negativity associated with it. He feels the boxer is not liked in the United States, and the UK, and doesn't deserve the lucrative opportunity of a Mayweather fight. While Maidana, an all-action fighter, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in 2013, when he scored two knockdowns to decision Floyd Mayweather's close friend, Adrien Broner.

"Originally, they were thinking Khan. But with so much negative feedback, with the blogs and various things -- it seemed like every time you saw Amir Khan's name attached to it, it said he had no chance. I think if they go based on titles, and who brings something to the table, it's Maidana. I don't think that many people want to see Floyd fight Amir Khan," Jeff told Mayo.

Amir Khan doesn't have a title and he hasn't done anything to deserve a shot," Jeff Mayweather said. "People want to see Floyd against the guy who beat Adrien Broner. They want to compare the imitator against the genuine one. Realistically, that's what is, an imitator of the legitmate thing. Khan isn't like Ricky Hatton. Most people don't even like him there."
