Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: Khan is a Bigger Fight Than Maidana

[Syf]

Maidana is the bigger fight as far as the US is concerned. I dont doubt they believe Floyd would beat either fighter, but they as his handlers are probably preferring a guy who's gameplan changes when he's hit flush over a guy that can walk through floyd for a while. Especially if they think its about the same money prize ultimately, which its not.

Let's not dress the Khan fight up as anything more than a weak fight. Khan hasn't looked impressive since the Judah fight, now he's coming off two losses and a life and death struggle against Diaz... and somehow that gets him in the frame for a shot at the P4P king? Its BS.

It is true....in a fans eyes floyd vs dana is a better fight only cuz dana laid out the so called future floyd.....in a true boxing fans eyes khan has more all around skill which u need to last with floyd dana has power thats it it will be another floyd vs gurerro even worse tho i see khan winning a couple rounds at least but dont get me wrong id luv to see floyd vs dana myself only cuz when floyd whoops khan ppl are gunna be screamin he ducked dana whatch!

I just don't understand this rationale. If he outclasses khna badly he might just kill maidana. Maidana has zero tools to trouble mayweather. Khan on the other hand is taller, is fast of gand and foot, has power and uses his jab. Style wise khan is a far more difficult matchup for floyd. If ee are being serious it's also the fight thata makes more commercial sense. Floyd has a large following in the uk. 5, 000 people came to watch him train last time he was there. Putting him in with khan is a sure fire seller in the uk, and it will sell more in the usa than maidana will too. I know maidana has the recent win against broner, but khan is still the bigger and actually better

Has Khan beaten anyone remotely close to fmj's caliber?

The whole world is talking about Maidana, no one paid attention when Khan won a lackluster fight while getting dropped by Julio Diaz.

Yet what ever you say doesnt change the fact:

Khan> Maidana.

Khan: Judah (mayweather opponent) and Maidana (other candidate to this fite)

Malignaggi and Kotelnik are great wins as both did big things after their loss to khan meaning they werent over the hill when they fought Khan.

on a side note unless you validate use of roids in boxing Peterson fite is not a loss.

Yeah a bigger fight and a much easier one too, lol....oh, those silly Mayweathers.

[VERDUGO]

In terms of revenue? Maybe.

The thing is Floyd, you need to start acting like one of the greatest, and start facing worthy opponents.

The Moronic droves of fans might slurp and drool over your Crap opponents, but History doesn't. Maybe that's what all the attempts at revisionism are: Your "Soldiers" charging the beaches of 'Save Floydie'.
