    Maidana wasn't around for Pacquiao to treat like a punching bag. If he was, he'd probably pick him and whoop his ass as well, since Floyd don't want none.
    Because you are saying Maidana does not deserve a Floyd fight, but you are a Pacquiao fan so I have to bring up Pac fighting Mosley, Margarito at his peak popularity.

    Floyd fighting Maidana wouldn't be any where near as bad as Pac picking Marg and Mosley.

    Besides, i'd love nothing more than to see a fighter like Maidana get that big pay day. He's a very limited fighter, he won't last long at the top, so i'd like to see Floyd/Haymon give him a pay day now that he's at the height of his career. Not only that, but he actually does deserve it, it's not like a pity pay day. He just beat the sh-t out Broner in an upset, and beat up on Lopez and Karass. Out of all the WW's that are available, Maidana is the only one actually fighting tough fights and stacking up his resume. Out of Maidana, Garcia, Thurman, i'd say Maidana should get the call.

        The answer is neither...but since forced Maidana, Khan will be bad for Floyd...not in the ring but image wise, it will appear as though Floyd is going after a guy he can KO for sure and nothing more. Khan hasn't done anything but not fight to risk losing a payday with Money Mayweather.

        Maidana would be better cause of the "Janet Jackson" what have you done for me lately logic, he pulled off an impressive win, has power and stamina and he pressures which many believe is what has to be done to beat Floyd, plus if Floyd like Broner so much, avenge him like a Vitali does for his brother lmao.

        Bottom line Floyd should fight Manny, it's time...force Arum out and make that fight.

            Neither!!! Sure Khan beat Maidana but he got destroyed by Garcia. He has done nothing since to deserve a Mayweather fight. Maidana has been alot more impressive since losing a close fight to Khan. But neither should be considered for the Mayweather sweepstakes right now.

                  Maidana for common sense but it's a fact that Fraud would choose the easier path

                      I voted Khan, didn't mean to. Maidana does deserve it more, but if I'm being honest I'd much rather see Khan fight Mayweather.
