Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Khan Draws Near, Maidana in The Dark

[Box-Office]

The only KO potential we will be treated to is Khan's, and that's an all too familiar sight. He's lost three times, and those three opponents were nowhere near Floyd's speed and skill at taking a weak hyped fighter to school. Broner and Khan should form a promotional company and call it Hype Job Promotions "HJP."

You dismiss "deserves" like it means we won't get a good fight out of Maidana, he'll lose but I bet he loses better than Khan. Khan is going to have to convince fans he's worth his own salt after they've seen him exposed time and again, while Maidana just beat the snot out of Khan's spiritual doppelganger, Broner. Khan's hand speed will be completely nullified by Floyd's defense, counter punching and movement. And when Floyd does connect consistently with Khan's chin, well, we all know what happens then?



Khan barely made it out of that fight with an earlier version of Maidana, I bet he gets mowed down now if they fought today. If Khan were such an easy choice Floyd wouldn't be hesitating right now, and he is smartly hesitating because he's thinking Maidana's the better fight. Maidana's been actively competing while Khan's been sitting on the sidelines calculating like someone uninterested in the big picture of their career. Again, what I'm reading from fans is completely different than what you're contending.

Khan's not gonna get this fight I imagine, he might but his recent statements suggest he knows exactly what I'm telling you. He has no substance whatsoever, it isn't petty hate to point out facts, as ugly as they are.

I like how you dismiss losses, stop it dude, he's bum plain and simple.....

The only loss i dismissed is Peterson on genuine grounds. Garcia and Prescott were str8 KOs no arguments but i was replying to youre "avenging" losses question, and why he hasnt done'em. "new" Maidana will do this and that but the point is when Maidana had Khan infornt of him he couldnt even drop him. What earlier version? He was 28-29 man thats a dude in his prime and was Boogeyman of 140lbs at that time and ppl said how Maidana will take his head off.

Khan is on sidelines calculating kinda like how Bradley was and "ducked" Khan for a 5 million Pacquiao payday was that okay? Not sure about you but alota ppl didnt have a problem then. This is wat i mean when i say hating on Khan is like the trend or the cool thing to do.


Khan is a "bum" who was unified champ at 140lbs and beat more legit fiters than Canelo and Ortiz put together and they stayed relevant after losing to Khan: Kotelnik (owned Alexander but got robbed), Malignaggi (who won a second title in second class after that loss), Judah (kept getting big fites), Maidana whom we all know reached new heights. I would put Mr roids aka Peterson in there too.

He's lost twice, to fighters with 1-punch power. He was blatantly jobbed the other time against a roided fighter.

We won't, we'll get a Guerrero type effort. The crowd will boo before the end again.

Maidana might have beaten Broner, but Khan has beaten Maidana (and more recently Diaz who drew with Porter).

Not just roids the judging was shady as hell but hey its Khan so ppl want reasons to hate. If its someone like Gamboa or someone else gets up the canvas its "hes a warrior and has heart" if its khan its "glass chin, bum" blah blah

Like how you dismiss Maidana's loss to Khan?

Khan will give Floyd his toughest fight in years.

He's got great speed and he's a good combination puncher. His biggest weakness is his tactical naivety, I can't see him sticking to a game-plan for 12 rounds. At some stage - probably at a point when things aren't quite going to plan - he'll lose his head and start throwing punches aimlessly and open himself up for counters. His chin is obviously a bit suspect as well, but I don't really think Floyd's got the power to take advantage of that.

I think he'll cause Mayweather all sorts of problems, mostly in the first half the fight, but end up losing on a close points decision.

I can't believe people would rather see Maidana fight Floyd, he'd get shutout. He's slow and Floyd would see his punches coming from miles away and not get caught with anything big. Same for D.Garcia, I don't care who 'deserves' a shot at Floyd, I care about who's gonna give him the best fight. The likes of D.Garcia and Maidana are slow and flat-flooted, they'd get countered by Floyd for 12 rounds. They haven't got the skillset to give Floyd a good fight.
