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

James Kirkland or Erislandy Lara

James Kirkland!?!?!?! LMFAOOOOO

[CLUE]

at Khan even being an option. Is this the excuse they are going to use for picking Khan?

[shade darkar]

If that's the choices then fcuking retire. I'll let the fans choose between a ****e and another ****e? Not interested. I tell you another thing, floyd can't be considered p4p number 1 when he takes fights like this.

Gee THANKS Floyd for those 2 WONDERFULLY ****** options. You're the greatest. Go lose another 10 mill on the Super Bowl.

How did Lara, who I'm a fan of, become the man Floyd was supposed to fight. I don't even hear Lara calling him out.

Lara is the same guy who couldn't make easy work of Vanes a little over a year ago, or was dropped by Angulo less then a year ago. Lara and Canelo need to fight.

Floyd vs Golovkin.....really??? People really think or want to see this??? Nevermind the fact Golovkin has one legit win and is a Middleweight.

Good god people are some bulls**t on here. If it's Maidana, no complaints. He's a Top 5 WW or he should be, coming off three decent wins at the weight, and has a title.

If it's Khan, F**K THAT.

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.

I agree, and I am a fan of Mayweather's skills-some of his opponents are just plain b.s. I was critical of Manny choice in the made-to-order Rios, but this is just as much garbage in terms of legacy...the problem is these fighters get too high of guaranteed purses and they take too many soft touches for big bucks. Throughout Floyd's career he has fought some great fighters, but since he only fights 1-2 times a year, I would rather see a major competitive test...Alvarez was supposed to be that, and that was a good fight to make. I just wish he would fight the cream of the crop EVERYTIME he took a fight.

Is Neither an option? It's funny because Pacquiao winning on write in

[PunchyPotorff]

If he's just giving those 2 choices (instead of oh I dunno, maybe PAC!) to the mix... I'd be really surprised if Khan is chosen over Maidana.

[BoxingSmarts24]

Yeah I'm not sure he was talking about boxing when he said that

Didn't he fight Canelo after this? And isn't Bradley and Pac already fighting April 12th? And prior to the Alexander fight was Porter ever an option?

And isn't GGG a middleweight who just beat a bum Saturday? And wants to clear out 160 when he is asked by his fans to move up to 168 to face Ward. But when
it is time to face Floyd at 154 they could careless if GGG cleans out 160 like they claim when it is time to face Ward.

But since we are on a Floyd article, and you clearly don't like him and claim he is a "ducker" and a "coward" some form of that nature. If Floyd indeed is such a coward and he knocked out Hatton what the phuck does that make Hatton for getting knocked out by a "coward"? Does that make Hatton a true "Warrior" for getting knocked out by a "coward"?

Lol try to find a way and answer my last question without sounding dumb. Floyd is a coward yet he knocked out Hatton.... So what the hell does that make Hatton???? Hahahaha

[ScottBeast12]

I agree completely.
