Marcos Maidana will be confirmed as Mayweather's May 3rd Opponent, Khan is Out

[Larry the boss]

This is ridiculous if true. So when Floyd said tell me who I should fight, why didn't he have more options?

Why didn't he have Pac,GGG or Sergio Martinez name and when people request he fights GGG, he goes and fights Maidana.?

If he isn't going to even fight the person who wins the poll whats the point in asking

why in the hell do ya'll keep bringing up these 3 names?? all have fights coming up and all fight on HBO

[Check_hooks]

Why would they go thru the trouble of fixing the poll then?

Floyd wants no part of Maidana

[Dean_Razorback]

well, before the guerrero fight floyd tweeted that he was gonna fight devon alexander in an unification fight, right? so anything can happen, it will be really funny if khan't doesn't get the fight after all the things he's been saying and doing

[PeterNeversoft]

Maidana doesn't get it because he knows how flaky Americans can be when decisions are made

[IMDAZED]

Wouldn't be the least bit surprising. Dan Rafael went on a one man crusade on Twitter the other day to try and shame Team Mayweather into picking Maidana by posting Youtube clips of Khan getting knocked out with messages like "Floyd is going to fight this guy??" Knowing how weak of a stomach Floyd has I sort of figured that's all it would take.

I doubt very much that he's making a decision based on what Daniel Rafael says.

Doesn't really matter who's first. One can get it now and the other in the fall.

.

It kinda does, cause Maidana can lose to Broner, I don't think he will bu it's possible.

And Khan, if he doesn't get it in May, what is he gonna do sit out until September, scared as hell to fight a credible opponent and get KO'ed? He already has nearly 12 months sitting out, if he waits until Sept to fight, that will be 18 months and would be terrible for a young fighter like him. And I can't see how fighting another no-hoper journeyman will sway fans into wanting to see Mayweather vs Khan. If Khan doesn't get the fight, he needs to fight at least Alexander or some one.

none !

[VatoMulatto]

Maidana deserves the fight more than Khan that's for sure but I rather see Floyd fight someone else. Don't like Khan or Maidana as an opponent.

Then you underestimate/misunderstand how insecure Floyd Mayweather truly is. Dan Rafael is the most prominent member of the boxing media in the US. He has the loudest pulpit. It ain't him they're worried about.
