Comments Thread For: Maidana Won't Be Ready, Broner II To Get Pushed Back

[WESS]

Exactly, but say Maidana loses to Broner, MM is no longer a viable opponent and it really looks like Mayweather doesn't want to fight Broner at any time in their careers with their friendship.

Floyd needs to strike while the iron is hot and he usually does, e.g. the Ortiz fight. I still have hope that he'll pick Chino.

I'm hoping he will too. A Khan fight is no different than what I have been giving Pac **** for since 2009. I have no problem giving **** to Floyd if he does the same. Khan's pure garbage and it's a disgrace to the sport.

It should be Mayweather vs Maidana and Khan vs Broner on the undercard. I'd pay for that.

As I already said, Mayweather is a monster, but he still can't win a fight before it happens.

As a WW champ, Maidana is a legit contender (which Khan isn't). And you can't deny his opportunity to a legit challenger because he is going to lose the fight anyway.

When it comes to Floyd this is ALWAYS the case while other fighters aren't even fighting fighters that fight at WW. Floyd's not even allowed to fight WW's..

Just displays how much higher the standards are placed on Floyd compared to ANY other fighter in the entire sport.

I'd rather see Mayweather-Ortiz II than Mayweather-Khan. I don't know why GBP and Floyd think the Khan fight will sell. No one wants to see that fight except for the Brits.

I think Showtime is banking on the Brits and Floyd's die hard fans here to buy it.

IMO it will do at least a million which for Floyd is bad. Or at least thats what people will say at this point.

Again the standards placed on Floyd are higher than any other fighter today.

Here is an idea: How about Mayweather/Maidana and Khan/Broner???

I think thats what a lot of people want at this point.

[John Barron]

khan is already an irrelevant fighter NOW and he's one stiff check left hook away from doing commentary full time. maidana will still headline fights after.

Two good fights that I'd pay for as well. I only hope GBP is listenting.

But when he loses to Floyd, the Broner rematch is still there and has the same intrigue as before, to me at least. I think Broner should fight the winner of Ortiz-Collazo personally, winner gets Maidana later this year.

Maidana would probably be embarassed and decisively beaten by Money May, but he's earned the right to show if he can do more. Unlike Khan.

This is the case with most any fighter fighting at JMW and below. Unless Floyd moves up to MW, this is what people will say. Especially once its over and Floyd didn't lose. Nothing wrong at all with Floyd fighting a WW who fights at WW holding a WW title. Maidana would be a great fight for anyone else fighting at WW. I don't hold Floyd to such high standards where he can't fight WW's fighting at WW holding WW titles. Especially since WW is in fact his current best weight class.

i don't know if maidana will miss out on much if he loses. he's still a very marketable top level guy for GBP and will be right back into the mix along with broner, thurman, porter, paulie etc. an L from floyd isn't really world shattering for him. what other elite level opponent/pay day fight is out there?

I don't like the idea of Maidana being Floyd's saving grace. This is what we've seen far to long. Fighters that came off of good performances. But we know Maidana will lose. We know this. I want to see Floyd take a risk and fight someone who actually stands a chance. Most people want Maidana just so they don't see Floyd fight Khan.

Even if Maidana fight Broner Floyd does not have to fight Khan. He really doesn't. The pfp king needs to fight top level fighters.

Makes sense

Yup, I would actually be excited as I talked a lot of **** about how Broner would beat Khan and well, I could VERY well have been wrong and I won't to know!

I also don't hold Floyd to such high standards that he can't fight WW's. Especially WW's that are fighting at WW and actually hold WW title's. Floyd's a WW. He looks and fights his very best there and if that is where he's going to fight at, outside of Top Rank fighters (Bradley and Pac) Maidana is the fight to see!

Anyway both are solid fights and they can have my money if they get made. Especially if they are all in the same event in which I hope is the case come May.

Saying that I hope Lara is on the undercard as well. I hope they try and build him up like they did Alvarez. I'm hoping Floyd moves back up to JMW come September. Lara, even though people will **** all over the mans face when Floyd even mentions him. It's a solid fight at JMW but I know people will just **** all over Lara once Floyd even says his name. Floyd doesn't even have to fight. Just sign a contract to fight him and people will say he's cherry picking this bum etc etc etc..

Who cares though, at JMW Lara is the fight to see. I'm hoping he moves back up in September again. Lara is the standard at that weight.

It's not a saving grace. Its a WW fighting a WW.

Do you hold Floyd to such high standards that he's not allowed to fight at WW anymore?
