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

[BoxingSmarts24]

Two pathetic fights. How about GGG, Lara, Martinez, Cotto rematch, I'd actually take Thurman at this point.

GGG, Sergio middleweight Cotto already got beat by him. Lara 154 I highly doubt Floyd is going there again for the remainder of his career. Thurman would be great but is fairly unknown to the casual fans.

It's funny you mention two middleweights a guy he already beat, Lara which is cool and Thurman who has yet to headline his own card on ShowTime or HBO but is expected to be in a PPV spot?

I want Mayweather Thurman in September if Thurman gets a big win and his stock grows.

But you are a clear hater naming: Sergio/Cotto who are fighting each other in June. And GGG a middleweight that wants ZERO parts of Ward. The same people that want him to fight Floyd do not ask him to move up and face that beast at 168 Andre Ward who would tear that ass up.

So the light middleweight champion want us to pick two lighter weight fighters to move up and fight him? Why not one of the top light middleweights in the world? He expects the unworthy Khan and the slow Maidana to move up but won't move up to fight Martinez or Govolkin himself? Why not Lara? I gave up on waiting for him to fight Pacquiao.

I don't care who he fights anymore, it will be a sure win so who cares.

Maidana just beat Broner in what weight class? You were trying to hate not having your shyt straight how in the hell did you not know that Marcos just beat Broner at 147?

Go to the drawing board and step your troll game up.

This is bull**** unless there is a official poll somewhere

I know he reads boxingscene so someone should make a poll and call his bluff

I expect at least 85% of people would vote for Maidana

It wouldn't matter if there was one. The dude is like a child who changes the rules to a game in the middle of a game because he's losing.

Canelo is coming off a shutout loss to Floyd, what the hell are you talking about?

That canelo is "consider" the best 154 pounder and just like Floyd he's expected to face the best. Lara is clearly the most deserving one but he chose angulo a dude that has never beaten a top fighter. No one is giving Canelo a hard time about it because we understand he has to sell ppv but we give Floyd a hard time for doing the same? All I'm saying is be realistic and unbias

y'all lose.
diversion from that 10m.

smfh.....both fights suck. IF I had to choose, then style-wise Khan could pose more problems,but his chin would let him down. Maidana is slow, predictable and wide with his punches...probably look like the Baldomir fight.

I don't expect Floyd to fight at JMW, because he is realistically too small, but at least fight a Thurman, or someone more interesting. I guess the problem is there really isn't ANYONE at WW except for Manny and Bradley, but they are both TR fighters and it isn't a realistic option.

Looks like it doesn't matter as I will stream this crap....should be interesting and fun anyways, but for legacy-forget it.

My problem with Floyd is-he is the most talented fighter as well as the smartest, but I since he only fights 1-2 times a year and expects people to pay a huge price tag on his fights, he should fight the competition to warrant so. At least his undercards are usually impressive....sigh.

It's alright, calm down Floyd.

James Kirkland or Erislandy Lara

I just posted this on Floyd's FB page:

Really Floyd, look for other options for your May fight. There is no demand at all for a Khan fight, and though Maidana is a warrior, neither of these fights are worthwhile. Bar none, the best fight out there for your is Pac, but now you've let that opportunity slip until at least the end of the year as he's already signed to fight Bradley. This would be the highest grossing fight in boxing history and make you more money than any other option. I mean really, what are you afraid of? If you truly are as great as you say you are, then as a champion you should take all comers.
If the Pac fight just cannot be made until September, then consider Lara at 154 or Golovkin at a CW. Or even Peter Quillin at a CW. What you need to understand is that the fans want to see you in a competitive match up- it's just not compelling to see you fight someone who is obviously overmatched and/or hasnt earned the opportunity. If you truly have the power in the boxing community that you've said you have, then you have the pull to make the most compelling matchups that the fans want to see. I realize there will always be critics no matter what, but you need to be able to justify what choice you make.

He needs to hurry up pick the backlash will last a couple of days and by fight week the people who Floyd fans will buy the fight; Floyd haters wasn't going to buy it regardless. Floor seats should be $1500 this fight so I'm cool with that.
