    It will be like Alexander but 10 times worse.

    People always say power is the key, but Floyd has a great chin and doesn't get hurt!

    Speed, combinations and workrate are the key.

    Think Zab, Castillo and even Cotto.

    Oh and you MUST have extremely good stamina. Any round you dip in work, Floyd takes it easy.

    Khan has a chance to win rounds, he has fast feet, fast hands, and a high workrate. His chin, balance and brain is ****** though.
    He will make Maidana look like a bum. Im not denying that. But Maidana would come forward and take his beating like a man. Sounds exciting to me. Although I think Khan would be good for All Access because I think he is very intellegent and well spoken. Especially when he talks boxing. I could see him being a good trainer after boxing.

        My vote for Maidana is wishful thinking.

        Who is Shawn Porter's promoter? Because I was thinking what if Floyd just picks a fighter that no one expects like Shawn Porter.

              why do u want this fight? he got outboxed by devon alexander of all people and beat by khan lol come on, heck, are you all forgetting him being outboxed by kotylnik in parts of their fight??? This would be worst than the guerrero fight, we dot want another ****ty year for mayweather. Khan's style and speed if not too diluted by hunter, at least leaves some sort of a mark in the fight and makes it fun.

                I think(and hope) Floyd will take the Maidana fight. It will create a lot more buzz than the Khan fight which nobody really wants. Perhaps when Khan was winning impressively before the Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia loses, but now it's lost all it's sizzle. I'm not sure if Khan is even that relevant in the UK as he once was.

                The intriguing thing about the Maidana fight is they can run with the narrative that Mayweather is avenging his "little brother" Broner and they can promote Maidana a lot better because he's actually been winning fights. I'm not sure how Broner would feel if Floyd dismantles Maidana and makes it look easy, but it does add some elements of intrigue to the fight. Plus Maidana is a slugger who has power, that's always a great angle to sell the public on, "He has the power to knock Floyd out!".

                Maidana is more deserving, has been winning, beat Broner, has the Hispanic fan base, and has a belt. This is the fight to make.

                If Garcia is willing to move up to welterweight, they can have the Garcia vs. Khan rematch on the undercard. Winner of that fight gets Floyd and it'll be a good experience for Danny to deal with the weight.

                Heck put Thurman on the undercard as well versus someone solid like maybe Shawn Porter and we have a pretty decent PPV.

                  Well I really want either Bradley or Danny. Or Pacquiao of course. But two of those aren't happening for obvious reasons, and the other guy seems to wanna test the waters at 147 first before Mayweather.

                  Maidana is at least coming off three decent wins at 147, where as Khan is coming off getting stopped by Garcia, beating a nobody in Molina, and struggling with a way past prime Julio Diaz.

                  It's an obvious choice on what's the more legit fight. You know Maidana will at least come forward and make Floyd work 100% every second of every round, and won't pull an Ortiz and mentally quit.

                  I love how 2013 was a crappy year for Floyd supposedly.....lol c'mon

                  Any other guy in the sport fights Guerrero, a Top 5 WW at the time, and then Canelo to win the RING title at JMW, and loses only 2-3 rounds, and it's considered a great year.

                  If any other fighter in the world fought those fights, they're considered either solid/legit or good wins.
