Amir Khan (16213 votes) 54%
Marcos Maidana (14023 votes) 46%
... But on ESPN:
Which of his two "contenders" should Floyd Mayweather fight next?
Amir Khan 38%
Marcos Maidana 62%
(Total votes: 61,045)
maidana's high pressure, recent unpredictability, game changing power and no-quit attitude is far more intriguing than what khan will bring. he has speed but what else? he has nothing going for him when his speed gets timed besides a weak chin.
Good points.
But id counter by saying pressure and power are no good if your shots arent fast enough to land.
Plus Maidana couldnt stop Khan, whereas Khan had Maidana badly hurt and down in the first round of their fight. .
Maidana's relentless pressure and toughness is great, but its also very one dimensional. At least Khan can move and box.
And his speed combined with flurries might not be so easy to time and counter.
I think Maidana's big single shots will be easier to see coming.
Almost nobody has been able to vote for Maidana for the last 8 hours. Rigged poll.
Completely rigged. because of that Khan is now way ahead.
He has 53% and longer that maidana is broken bigger lead he will get
this, that is the purpose of this poll, justify the fight that no one wants
Exactly. It's just clever marketing. What do you do when your boss wants you to sell something no one wants? You distract them from the ideal fight and trick them into fighting over the two crap fights via the vote.
He also made sure Pac announced his fight first so it takes some of the blame off him. So here we are, bickering over two of the least compelling opponents he could have chosen.
mayweatherpromotions poll is being hijacked by Khan fans. Go read the comments. They have written the most retarded things! His fan base, most of them don't know **** about boxing, so they are voting for Khan. If you south asian, it's likely, you are voting for Khan. He is in the lead right now.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Although I still don't really care for either fight
How will Maidana bother Floyd?
Id rather see Maaidana Broner 2.

I hope people are smart enough to realize this poll is being tampered with. The first few days Maidana had a very comfortable lead and you could see a tendency start to develop, then out of nowhere Khan is right there with Maidana.
Either Floyd is in on this too in order to justify Khan as an opponent or Khan and his team are behind it.
It is obvious what's going on here. By the end of the deadline Khan will be up by at least 30% to make him a clear winner.

khan's retard speed won't bother floyd. how often do we see this ASHI-ASHI-ASHI-ASHI /sleep

As a Floyd fan it doesn't matter to me birth will be entertaining.
And there is always September whoever dies t get picked has plenty of fights to prove themselves fir the September fight .
Lol, when did Khan ever prove himself?
khan has speed , maidana has nothing except power which he cant do **** with against floyd , i want to see how floyd deals with speed rather then big slow wild punchers.

Maidana most likely has the backing of all Hispanics in the U.S., if not all then most of them. Probably every American boxing fan, every Mexican, Puerto Rican boxing fan, all of South America. Who ever could vote from those groups, would most likely pick Maidana. It just seems really off that Khan is that close. The UK population pales in comparison to the U.S./Hispanic population.
What about Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh?

and then the espn poll too........maidana is whooping a-queer con's ass in that one. i think the poll is rigged for khan.
It seems an illusion...
I suspect that Floyd hired a team which exclusively clicks on this poll -- day and night... I suspect that no "outsider" is allowed to vote actually.
