Comments Thread For: Mayweather Wants Fans To Pick - Khan or Maidana For 5/3

[Kagami Taiga]

I'd go Maidana. Easily the best pick.

[Los Zetas]

Not upset I just think it is funny how people hate Floyd so much they discredit the people he fights. GGG/Pac have the same fans. How many of them were talking shyt about Adama being a bum? And how the fight was so weak HBO didn't even pick it up.


Maidana just looked great against Broner and has been looking good since joining Robert Garcia. But haters will try and shyt on Maidana to make Floyd look bad period. Khan is not the best I agree. But Maidana is actually improving under Robert Garcia.

The same fans that are asking Floyd to fight GGG how many of them ask and push for GGG to face Pac or Ward? Why is that?

I mean I can go on and on and never lose an argument based on facts when it comes to double standards. That dude who I came at is a clear hater/hypocrite and was stuck so had to resort to calling me Floyd. You know you are on point when people can't stay on subject and try and divert your attention.

But I Love making people look bad that is all.

Maidana is a bum and has been picked guys like Soto karass, Lopez, and Broner who aren't true welterweights. Plus they aren't too good. Yeah maidana moved up too, but see him get out boxed easily.

Honestly, Maidana has always had a jab, and that right. Even that sweeping left hook from the bottom... Remember start of khan round 12? Flat footed, slow and lost to a few already.

Khan is a slightly better opponent even if he has lost too. He is athletic and has a good jab, speed and speed in feet to catch Floyd. He lacks a chin and balance, but athletically he is superior to maidana bar power. Power doesn't trouble Floyd as speed imo.

Maidana deserves it. Even comes with the drama of avenging Broner's loss.

[ADozenArrows]

Khan. I want to see another Mayweather KO.

[Augustane]

Well, I expect Maidana to win out this one, even though I feel like Khan gives a new stylistic match up that we haven't seen before.

Maidana has been 4-1 since his move to WW. Only loss to Alexander when he first moved up.

Khan has no WW fights. He is 2-2 at JRWW.

Thurman only notable win recently is Soto Karass and possibly Quintana

I don't see how people are saying Thurman deserves it when he hasn't even done much at WW. Khan either. Maidana is the only dude at WW, who is signed to GB that would make sense to fight.

I agree that Khan does seem more athletic than Maidana and has speed to go with it. The thing about Khan is once you figure out his rhythm he can not fight while being attacked.

Floyd would figure Khan out after a few rounds and will almost certainly get a TKO if not knock Khan out. At least with Maidana he will be game and has looked much better than Khan as of late. Thurman, Pac, Bradley, Maidana, Porter etc... All of those welter weights get beat by Floyd. We might actually see Mayweather vs Thurman in the near future I hope that is the case or Porter for that matter.

Pac can fight Floyd if he wins and is out of his contract by this year. I PRAY that Floyd and Pac actually fight so the haters can cry how Floyd waited for Pac to get old yet he is older than him. That is my number one fight I wanna see... And if they both take care of business and Pac gets on his: De La Hoya, Cotto, Marquez and Mayweather shyt and start working off of his own name and dealing with who ever brings in the most money. Than that fight should happen early next year and I look forward to it.

But as of right now to answer your question I believe Maidana would be more of a challenge than Khan, based off of confidence and momentum going into the fight. One person just had a very big win, while the other got knocked down and hasn't looked so great his last four fights.

Can't wait for the staff picks on here. Thanks Floyd for another competitive fight to look forward to. Mayweather 12-0 Khan or Mayweather 12 - 0 Maidana. Can hardly wait to not pay for these awful fights.

[Lords]

Khan will put up the better fight with his speed and movement. Maidana will get outboxed fairly easy for all 12 rounds, he's to slow and off balanced to even have a shot. Maidana got outboxed by Devon... nuff said.

i skimmed through the replies and surprisingly Khan's getting more votes than Chino.
