Comments Thread For: Khan Topples Maidana in Poll, Waits For Mayweather Call

[thack]

Marquez ducked Khan. Fact

If Khan told you this....!

[chepboxingking]

Reality is khan does not deserve the fight but he's the best option for numerous reasons. Other than Pac, Floyd doesn't have many options left anyways. No matter what the haters want to say, he's already beaten all other top contenders. I hope Thurman gets a few more quality wins and gets a crack at Floyd sometime next yr. Mayb Floyd's last fight..

mayweather vs khan = biggest farce of 2014........

I'm willing to bet my life it'll be more competitive than Floyd vs the people's champs canelo. Truth is, any one Floyd faces not named Manny Pac is a farce.

Ortiz was on a winning streak when he fought Floyd and beat undefeated Berto at the time. That is nothing to blow over when Berto was a name and on the come up. Ortiz had much more momentum going into the Floyd fight than Rios did the Pac fight.

Rios loss and was moving up in weight did you criticize that fight? Guerrero hadn't loss since 2005 and beat the shyt out of Berto having people claim he was scared of the Ghost. Robert again was making noise and was the guy to beat at WW that wasn't with Top Rank.

So was the Rios fight good or not? And how much credit do you give Pac for that fight?

Now before I dig a little deeper: Mosley, Clottey, Maragrito , and Rios all had one thing in common! What's that? They all were coming off of losses before they faced Pac what's up with that? Do you give Pac credit for that.

And you thought I forgot about the Marquez shyt didn't you? Well I am glad you brought this up. Do your homework my man! Mayweather vs Marquez September 2009 Weigh in: Floyd 146 pounds Marquez 142 pounds. 4 pound weigh in difference.

Three years later December 2012 weigh in: Manny 147 pounds Marquez 143 pounds. 4 pound weigh in difference.

The TOP two fighters of this era fought Marquez at WW with a functional 4 pound weight advantage over Marquez at the weigh in. One person got knocked the phuck out. The other won all 12 rounds by out boxing him.

This is another fact for you. The two fighters that did have wins before they faced Pac what happened? Bradley beat him, because Pac was being lazy and fighting the last minute of every round taken the first two off just trotting. And practically giving rounds 10-12 to Bradley from inactivity. Even Roach said Pac gave away those last few rounds.

Marquez in 2011, controlled the temple of the fight and was landing the more telling shots and it was clearly a Marquez style fight. In 2012 Pac was actually looking good but got reckless.

I say that to say this. Pac fans (such as yourself) never shyt on Pac's resume although he is supposed to be the top two fighters of this era. So Pac's last six opponents since 2010 4 of those dudes was coming off of a loss! And the two that didn't beat him. (OUCH)

And I can say that Mayweather/Khan is a garbage fight because it is predictable, he gets countered easily and unlike Maidana Khan has been dropped and knocked out on several occasions.

Maidana is much better under Robert Garcia and has shown tremendous improvement and would give Mayweather a much better fight than Khan who would most likely get knocked out by the 6th or 7th round.

A lil too long but excellent post

U have to wait khan mayweather still needs to confirm from his advicers if he made the right.decision

[gauze]

i didnt vote because this is as mediatically social as i get.

would have picked maidana doe.

[Drunk Punch]

Khan is not the best option at all. He would be a much easier sell if he came off the back of an impressive victory (like Maidana). I think it will do poor PPV sales as a result.

Khan really should have taken the fight with Alexander, it would have given him a mandate to challenge Floyd.

So far the best option for Floyd is Maidana, who is always exciting to watch and his popularity at an all time high - with the added ****e that he just whupped Floyd's protege.

Even a loss for Maidana would still set up an entertaining rematch with Broner down the line.

[PAC-BOY]

that **** was so rigged

Stevie wonder saw this coming.....what a rigged up poll.

[bopbopbbe]

Khan is the better fight tbh. Maidana is so slow and comes in so wide. Mayweather isnt gonna get hit with those shots like broner. It's would be a stick and move night.

Atleast with khan mayweather might be forced to push the action.
