Is there really someone out there who'd like to see Maywheater vs Khan?

    Fine, i'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.

      Pretty much this.

      We'd all like to see Floyd against the Pacquiaos and Sergios, but he's effectively whittled it down to two opponents, Maidana and Khan and the former has a style he has handled multiple times.

        Then he'd have to say "By the time the fight happens it will be heading toward 4 years ago".
        He could have also said, Amir Khan - The guy who whooped - Judah and Malignaggi. They have equal or comparable recognition to Broner in the 'public'.

            They're probably banking on the UK PPV.

            The UK PPV's will do good numbers most likely. But they won't do Mayweather-Hatton numbers.

            The only thing I can take from the Khan fight is that Mayweather will likely do some appereances in the UK for UK media in London of Bolton or something and I'll head down to see it.

            That's it.

            On the grand scale I don't think anyone wants to see this outside of the UK.

              All of this ^.

              Mayweather is effective, sure, but he's ***** boring. At least Khan brings a style that will either sneak a couple of rounds or will get KTFO.

              Madaina is limited; he'll lose every round.

                Like most of you I don't care for the fight but if it gets made more than likely I will get it. It's hard to justify a fight with Khan because he hasn't looked that good recently and would probably get beat easily. But let me get this straight, Maidana is more viable because he beat Adrian Broner? Most people on here thought Broner was pure hype, he gets beat by a decent fighter and now that said fighter is the one to beat Mayweather. If the criteria is competitiveness for Mayweather's next PPV I don't put much stock in either fighter being competitive. While we're at it, although I've been dying to see Mayweather/Pacquiao, but a win over Bam Bam Rios doesn't automatically put him at the top of the Mayweather sweepstakes either.

                  But again he'd still have to say both of those were 3-4 years ago.

                  Khan seems to be living off performances that were 3 and 4 years ago and they aren't even overly impressive anyway outside of the Maidana fight.

                  The fact you can't talk about Khan's performances in the last 2 years really is as clear as it can be that this fight shouldn't be happening.

                    Yup-

                    yet 'the public' apparently get suckered into believing this idea of Mayweather taking a punch that could put him out cold. And how many times have we seen someone try and do that with approx zero success?

                    How many times have we seen a quick in and out fighter with blazing handspeed use the ring to box Mayweather? Never?

                      I'm curious, who do the Yanks want see to Mayweather face?

                      Garcia is a good shout, but he's flat-footed and limited defensively. Mayweather would pot-shot him.
