    I can't believe people would rather see Mayweather fight Khan, who hasn't done s**t since 2011, then Maidana who's riding three decent/solid wins at WW.

        Who you want him to fight in May that's realistic and possible?
        Currently, Floyd is who everyone wants to fight. Right? So you saying that realistically, it's impossible to get a fighter who has a decent chance to fight Floyd because Floyd will not pick that kind of fighter?

        As for what you said, it's the same line of thinking that was said for all of Floyd's recent opponents without thinking it thru or not willing to think it thru properly. Latest example of this was Devon Alexander. Yes, he was a WW title holder. Yes, he had 3 decent wins BUT from what we saw of him in those fights, what made you and others say that he is legit? Was it because there were rumors that that fight might happen in the future? Same with Khan in early 2012. There were so many Floyd fans saying it would be legit even though he never fought at WW. Even now, some are saying it's a good money fight. If it actually happens, more and more Floyd fans would get on that bandwagon.

          Pacquiao and Bradley aren;t possible and you know why. I wanted Danny Garcia after he beat Lucas, but he seems to want to take his time up to 147 first. Lara would be good, but there's a better chance of getting that fight if he beats Canelo, that and IDK if Floyd is ever fighting above 147 again. Maidana is the best and most realistic option at 147 for Mayweather.

            See, that wasn't too hard. You named 3 fighters that would be a better opponent than Maidana.

            If Floyd wants it, those fights can be made. Floyd don't want it now. He is waiting until he sees the signs that they lost "a step", "been in too many wars", "showed enough weaknesses", "inexperienced", "too old", "inactive", "past prime", "fights flat-footed", "no power with his left hand", "140 lb fighter moving up recently to WW", "can't handle an opponent's movement", "all roads must go thru Berto and I guess Broner now."... or a combination of what I said.

            Just ask yourself this simple question. Who is Broner at WW that makes Maidana "the guy" for Floyd? That formula is Floyd's. So I guess it's his fans too!

              It's a nice thought but the guys in power won't set it up. Mayweather is fighting Khan in May 2014 so that is the fight we will get. I don't like it but there is nothing I can do about it. I think the Khan-Mayweather fight will make good money. I don't like Khan but millions of fans do especially in the UK.

                You just want an easy pay day for Floyd, and for people to call him the GOAT, after beating Maidana.

                Maidana/Thurman. Winner gets Floyd.

                  GBP should cash out Khan first before making a fight with Floyd. Let Mayweather vs. Khan fight in May and then set up Mayweather vs. Maidana in September.

                  Even after Maidana loses to Floyd, he will still have plenty of fights left. Ortiz 2, Alexander 2, Khan 2, Lucas, Ortiz.

                    Maidana deserves it more and honestly will put on a better fight even though he will lose. At least he will make it deep into the fight unlike Khan who gets ko'd.
                    Every word you posted is true but Khan is still the guy Mayweather will fight in May 2014.
