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

[BrokenHat]

I like Lara and think he would provide floyd a tough (yet boring) fight but apart from a few on here and other forums as Lara even got a fan base to make this fight worthwhile?.

Not at all. The forums are a small group of the same people, they don't represent anything other than all the fans with the most time and least amount of disposable income.

No, it would not be worthwhile. He's a real option. For Floyd, Maidana would be perfect, after the beating Broner took. Floyd comes in, and shuts out Maidana like he did JMM, and looks better to people than ever.

Pacquiao is fighting Bradly. GET OFF THE PACQUIOA ARGUMENT ALREADY!!! lol I'd rather see Broner rematch Maidana. Khan is not worthy, but realistically there's not much more to choose from. He only went up to fight Canelo, because that was a huge fight. GGG is NOT a huge money making fight. I'd love to see him fight GGG, but its just not happening. Why wish, hope and cry about something that's not going to happen. Be realistic here.

Maidana is still winning but Khan has closed the gap. Maidana has 63% now instead of 76% last night.

Cheers for the update, that's still a healthy lead. Roughly 60-40 in favour of the Maidana fight.

I wonder if it's serious though, how is Floyd going to look if he ignores his own poll and fights Khan anyway?

After the fight he'll announce he's fighting Maidana next. For the fans of course.

I pick Porter-- a young, strong lion.

Hes scared to fight khan as most people write khan off, so if he loses to Khan it will look worse for him, than if he lost to Maidana who was at least coming off a good win.

Floyd knows stylisticly khan may present a bigger challenge though and that's his worry.
Stop ducking khan!

I just have a bad feeling that it will be Khan regardless of the poll's outcome.

Were was Guerrero's fanbase??Ortiz does not have some big following,and neither does Khan(esp in the states)Baldomir..Everything does not have to be about money..Maidana or Khan are not some big draws,let's not pretend that they are..I actually believe Lara would bring more interest then both..He's a natural JMW and has stopped bigger fighters..Not to mention he is skilled,it's an easy sell on the showtime series..Not to mention to the public..

Were as(esp in the case of Khan)you have guy's who really don't seem to be on Mayweathers level at all..I feel I've always been fair with Mayweather,but these two fights are weak man..No other way to spin it..Khan not deserving,and while Maidana is deserving,he has nothing to trouble Mayweather with..

I don't agree that Lara vs Floyd would be boring..I think you'll see Floyd finally pushed(have not seen this in yrs)and Floyd would have to go to another level(if he could)for the win..I just feel both of these fights are weak bro..Esp when you have Lara and legacy right there..Floyd is going to make 40mill regardless bro..So I really don't care about if Lara is a draw or not..Real talk,Lara is the best fight for Mayweather right now..
