Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” — On Khan, Maidana, Floyd and Manny

[PittyPat]

They'll definitely need as a strong as hell undercard. What are some big fights that could be put on?

[SUBZER0ED]

Khan doesn't need to be at WW at all, he has no chin
Maidana is a threat to everybody there except Floyd
Floyd's only potential challenge is Lara, and that's at JMW
Pac is shot and just fighting for money now

Don't be so hasty to say Pacquiao's shot. He slacked in the first Bradley fight and lost the decision. He got caught by a juiced JMM while he was on the attack. BUT...he beat Rios convincingly and better than Mayweather beat Canelo. Let's see how he does in the rematch with Bradley before writing him off.

This fight would be a disgrace to boxing for more reasons than one. You ask us the fans to select your next opponent and out of "know where" there's more Khan fans in both the U.S. and England then they are real fans that want to see somewhat of a fight and it would've shown Broner how it's done if Gayweather wins now all this can get thrown out if Gayweather decides to fight Khan.

It's so plain to see that Mayweather will always take the easier fights. He's all about making that money at the lowest possible risk. I wish we fans would all unite and boycott his cherry-picking a$$! He's a good fighter, but think about it, he always takes the fights that he is very likely to win, and almost never rematches anyone (except for Castillo, who gave him a hard time). The opponents he chooses are either out-classed or past their prime. Just retire Mayweather, so we can stop even talking about you.

Yep, fighting fighters coming off career defining wins and fight of the year candidates or undefeated champions. You right, he always picks the easiest fights.

And also, if you sick of talking about him, THEN STOP. Its that simple.

And one way to get someone to lower his contractual demands is to send a message that there’s another perfectly viable option out there that can replace him.

But this only makes sense if MW Jr. is negotiating a Maidana fight. He's not going to make more difficult his negotiation with Khan letting him to win the poll.

Hey, I didn't say I was sick of talking about him. I'm sick of him cherry-picking his opponents. What opponents of his in recent memory were true badasses? Alavarez was and still is unproven, Guerrero isn't even on his level, Cotto gave it his all, but was damaged by Margacheato, Ortiz? LOL!! Mosely hurt him early on, but he's shot, Marquez is too little, Hatton was the only real shocker because he was a badass. De La Hoya himself said he was done by the time he fought Mayweather. He wouldn't fight Judah @ his peak. The list goes on. You're a Floyd fan, good for you. I admire the man's fighting skills too, but he CLEARLY only takes fights he KNOWS he can win!!

And Kahn? Which one of those is he? Maidana's coming off a career-defining win! Here's how the Kahn fight will go: Amir will come out fast, moving well and throwing flashy combos. He might even land a few. Mayweather moves and shoulder-rolls to avoid the shots, and stings Khan with shots of his own. About mid-fight, Floyd gets Kahn's timing down and throws a check hook, stunning Kahn. Mayweather goes in for the finish. OR, Mayweather gets the timing down early and counters Kahn all night. Late in the fight, Kahn is exhausted and gun-shy because of Mayweather's counter-punches. Then Floyd starts throwing hard shots to see if he can stop Kahn. Either way, Kahn loses, and the fans lose their money on yet another predictable Mayweather fight.

Not necessarily true. Mayweather can use Maidana as leverage to keep Kahn's demands lower. All he has to point out is that plenty of people will tune in to see him fight Maidana because not only does he have a belt, but he won it by beating Broner. And everyone knows Broner was touted as being the next best thing to Floyd.

The vast majority of Mayweather's fights are predictable. He's that good.
