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

[lopez36]

maidana? he's really not that good,yeah he beat broner but so what,devon alexander outboxed him,so why won't Floyd? Floyd picking an easy opponent,someone with no movement,really no boxing skills and kind of slow,perfect for Floyd and he'll sell this fight on how good maidana is because he beat broner,whatever....I think a better opponent would be someone fast and strong like keith Thurman,heck I prefer khan,atleast khan has speed and uses his jab at a distance and that right there can give Floyd a better fight than what maidana would..if he picks maidana then we already know who will win and what he will say after the fight is over.."i wanted to knock him out but I hurt myself after the third round,otherwise I would have ko'd him"...yeah right,he always says something like that,he said samething after canelo fight yet I saw him fight the exact same way for the entire fight

and people cried that Alvarez was drained by dropping 2 pounds. Yet people want middle weights to drop an entire weight division to fight Floyd? lol Seems legit.

If he does ever fight a Middleweight I'm guessing he would be the one moving up. Lara is one thing and I'd like to see Lara get the fight eventually. His plan seems to be to secure a fight with Canelo to boost his profile up some more and hopefully he can start demanding a Mayweather fight if he beats Canelo.

I don't see the logic in demanding a Martinez or Golovkin fight though. Neither one is at a weight he is even competing at. You might as well mention Ward for potential opponents. It would be just about as relevant as demanding Mayweather to fight Middleweights.

I have no interest in either of these fights. I have no doubt that the targeted opponent was the Garcia-Matthysse winner. Which is why they had it on the Floyd-Ginger undercard. Probably figured Lucas was gonna win. And probably figured either way, neither would turn down an immediate shot at Floyd, which Danny did. Let's hope Danny makes his 47 debut on the undercard, likely against either Paulie, Guerrero, or Ortiz. And that sets the stage for Floyd-Danny in Sept. Would be a nice lil nugget to throw AB on there too. Best opponent for him would be Peterson, or the kid he's fighting should he lose that one. Nice comeback opponent for AB. Plus very sellable as his "4th title in as many divisions."

He wont fight Maidana. Hes just using his name. Maidana fights to rough for him. He needs soft opponents.

Yeah, which is why Pac and Provo are too good a friends to fight. Sounds like ya boy is doing much of the same *****.

What??Alexanders and Garcias left overs???It'll probably be Khan because then Floyd could MAYBE FNALLY get a legit ko and he'll say " I don't need to fight Chino because I beat Khan and Khan beat Chino."I'll be watching. ..on a free live stream because these fights arent worth $60.Hopefully it sells at the movies for $15

WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26KOs) has yet to finalize an opponent for May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. While Mayweather has been spending some time poking fun at Pacquiao, he also took aim at the two most likely options for his May return.

Former 140-pound champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19KOs) has been mentioned as the frontrunner for several months. Marcos Maidana (35-3, 31KOs) has now emerged as a realistic candidate after winning a very impressive twelve round decision over Adrien Broner to capture the WBA welterweight crown earlier this month.

This comes as a surprise to no one. The plan all along was to fight Khan. Maidana is in the pic now because he embarrassed Broner. I really hope he doesn't fight Khan. I always want to see boxing do well but this is one time where I will tell people Floyd/Khan isn't worth paying for.

No doubt. Lara should get a shot but he needs that one look good fight vs a big name (i.e. Alvarez). He also needs to be put on a major PPV card. It would be nice to see him on Floyd's undercard this May...

However a lot of people on here will start to **** all over him because that would mean FLoyd is looking to fight him and people always **** on the fighters Floyd is looking to fight. These types of fans hide behind Top Rank fighters and fighters who fight at Middle Weight and beyond because obviously those fights won't ever happen.

You always say that or something similar but yet when the fight is over, you say it was a cherry pick and complain about the very fight you suggested wouldn't happen because of Floyd.

Hey at least you're consistent with flip flopping.

It's still a **** fight, but in comparison to Khan, Maidana deserves the fight more.

I wouldn't say a **** fight.

A **** fight is the bum a$$ Khan fight. This is actually a decent (not good or bad) fight as Maidana holds a WW title and looked great in his WW debut. Not to mention is 4-0 in his last 4 fights as well with 3 of the 4 by KO/TKO.

Outside of the two Top Rank WW's (Bradley and Pac) this is the best WW fight to be made at the moment as Garcia isn't ready and rightfully so.
