Comments Thread For: Mayweather Hints He'll Face Khan or Maidana on May 3

[WESS]

People wonder if Floyd will fight them as he is a ducker and people don't think he is brave. Not because those guys were particularly great fighters, or even very good fighters at the time - SSM and DLH were yesterdays top names, but why would Floyd geet more credit than other guys who fougth and beat DLH and SSM in their primes.

Pac fought them years after Floyd did. Horrible logic you have going here.

Floyd cherry picked them at the tail end of their careers just like he did hernandez and what he has literally done his whole career. He is not going to get bravery awards for fighting them. He isn't retired so of course he had to fight them, but he had a notorious reputation for ducking fighters and not letting people see fights that they wanted, so people wouldn't have been surprised if Floyd chose not to fight SSM or DLH. But the fact that he did fight them, don't mean he should be patted on the back and going beyond the call of duty, he hardly fights afterall.

A little insight; what do you call Hatton, Clottey, Margarito and Mosley? Up until Pac started "picking" fighters that do not fight in his weight devision, he was in fact fighting these fighters (as you call it) on the "tail end of their careers". Not only that, its widely known that Floyd is fighting 2 times a year. Outside of the possible Khan fight that I called garbage years ago, Floyd is in fact fighting TOP contenders in his weight devision. Pac is not. The truth be told, Miadana is one of them TOP contenders who is prime, holds a title and is on a 4 fight win streak with 3 by way of KO/TKO. Let that settle for a moment.

But ideally people want to see Floyd fight and beat better people than yesterdays generation of very good fighters.

Again, same can be said for Pac since his fight with Cotto back in 2009. If only he would at the VERY least fight top contenders in his weight devision. He has not because he picks "fighters at the tail end of their career" like Clottey, Margarito, and Mosley or fighters who do not fight at Welter Weight like JMM, Bradley and Rios. You can give all the excuses you want but the fact is, they were either washed up or not WW's let alone TOP contenders at WW when Pac fought them. At the very least, Ortiz and Guerreo were at WW while Alvarez was at JMW.

Do you understand what double standards are? Or even see how you're argument contradicts your very own logic?

Just because he beat them, don't make out as if he is doing anything everyother boxer in all the other divisions isn't doing.! So again he is a cherry picker, for supposedly being the best in the sport but only dining on yesterdays good fighters and thinking that is enough to justify how good he is supposed to be. Don't try turn the fact that people say Floyd is considered a cherry picker into a positive for Floyd. It reflects badly on Floyd

Again, Ortiz, Guerreo and Alvarez are not "yesterdays fighters" as you claim that Floyd only fights. In fact if anything they are fighters who are in their prime. Mayweather continues to fight TOP contenders in his weight class who are in their prime and not as you say "fighters of yesterday". You are in fact lying. It's not even an opinion but a lie.

Please tell me what Miadana is going to do to threaten Floyd inside the ring?? And being legit doesn't mean standing a chance. It's still a cherrypick. Maidana is a title holder off an impressive string of victories against no one in Floyd's class with barely a chance of being competitive. You know it and I know it.

Well, you said to beat Floyd all you need to do is pressure and Maidana will do that.

Maidana brings some things to the table Floyd hasn't fought in a while and it see how his aging legs react to it. Plus he has the punch.

You say Maidanas fought no one in Floyds class, so what about Thurman? His best win is a guy Maidana stopped quicker than he did.

Why is Thurman a threat and not Maidana?

If Mayweather were to fight Thurman I'd bet that it would be another one of your "Yesterday I was lieing, today I'm telling the truth" moments.

Seriously outside of two Top Rank fighters in Pac and Bradley (who will not get the fight unless they leave Bob just like Mosley, Bradley and JMM had to do with their promoter in oder to get Pac), who should Floyd fight at WW?

Thurman.

Because unlike Maidana, he's fought guys in Floyds league.

I wonder if that ones the truth or a lie? There's just no way of knowing.

I think he just wants Floyd to fight at JMW vs Lara and there isn't anything wrong with that at all.

However Floyd is fighting at WW where he looks his best at and he understands nobody beats Floyd there and like many, it pisses him off.

They need to ave Floyd fight Khan, then have the WBA demand the champ face the mando

Naaa I don't think he truly believes that. He just hasn't accepted that Floyd is a natural WW, looks his best at WW and is in fact fighting at WW where outside of two fighters from Top Rank, nobody will be considered a "threat" at least to the critics. Yet, to some degree I can agree to that.

You can be on the yesterday today thing all you want. Doesn't change Floyd-Maidana/Khan as terrible fights. Doesn't change it one bit. Do you believe Maidana has a chance?? How good of one. How can someone who doesn't believe in belts use that as the excuse a $h!ty fight gets made??

I did say pressure can beat Floyd. I never said Maidana could. explain to me how Maidana's "pressure" affects Floyd.

Seriously outside of two Top Rank fighters in Pac and Bradley (who will not get the fight unless they leave Bob just like Mosley, Bradley and JMM had to do with their promoter in oder to get Pac), who should Floyd fight at WW?

Why does Floyd have to fight at 147?

[Bushbaby]

Thurman.

You take about lies. Find where I said Thurman has fought anyone in Floyd's league please. You do a fine job of making $h!t up yourself.

Maidana can wait till Sep

Khan first in May
