Is Floyd advising team Bronner to avoid Maidana so that Floyd can fight Maidana?

True, he'll likely get his own way but Schaefer/Sho might prefer Khan if it brings in more money. I did see Espinoza retweet something about Floyd-Khan so they could perhaps nudge him in that direction.
Personally, I don't like the Maidana fight because it feels like I know what's going to happen, we've seen Floyd deal with variations of Maidana's style before whereas with Khan there's at least an element of doubt due to his unique style and speed.Comment

Floyd would get hit maybe twice flush. Too fast, too smart, too athletic. Floyd also does have a chin and is in great condition.
Miadana would look like a punching bag. The fight may be a 12 round UD.
Broner is not even 15% of Floyd.Comment

The fans dont care about Khan vs Mayweather, more would actually want to see Mayweather vs Maidana at this point.Comment

Miadana has the power and Broner the boxing skill and speed. However from Rees I knew Broner wasn't the real deal because I let PDL slide. Rees is a bum and a midget from the UK where I have seen him look like **** often. To land that many shots on Broner let me know he has no defence. Styles make fights but Paulie was close enough so I was certain Broner was not better than Khan, and that fight was 1 or 2 rounds for Khan for me.
Maidana has always had a nice jab and although slow, everyone can get hit in a 12 round fight and he has a hard hook to judge and counter. What he has is, if you aren't fast on your legs, he will hurt you or his power will make you change your game plan.Comment

Thats a misnomer. Floyd hasn't ever fought a guy as awkward and strong as Maidana.. in his pro career anyway. Castillo is your closest guy to it. And floyd struggled with jlc. I think he would have to stay mobile in the fight... the shoulder roll wont be as effective as usual because of Chino's iron chin and mauling awkwardness. Khan, however, aint durable enough at this point.
Obviously anything can happen in sport, particularly boxing, but on paper at least I think it's very one-sided.
I think it was after but it was a retweet, it's obviously nothing conclusive.
All of this. It's about levels and Floyd is maybe 2-3 grades above Maidana as a fighter. He's above Khan too but if Khan had a chin, who knows where he'd be rated e.g. I don't think Garcia would have beaten him (my opinion).Comment
