Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: Khan is a Harder Fight For Mayweather

[KingTito]

I admit stylistically Khan poses a different set of challenges than we've seen in a while, but it's one of those things where you have to give it to the guy who's earned it. Let's be honest also, Floyd might be able to get Khan out of there before Khan does much of anything. While Floyd isn't a huge puncher, I trust his power more than Khan's chin, and he'll for sure catch Khan with a clean shot that's fast and accurate and he won't see coming. Between Khan and Maidana, Maidana was the right choice There's other opponents I'd rather see, but Maidana is a champion and has earned his shot, certainly more than Khan has.

[UTEP]

Danny's absolutely right, this is going to be Maidana/Alexander all over again.

[LA_2_Vegas]

Garcia has never fought Maidana.

I appreciate the insight fighters give on matchups, but his opinion on this isn't any better than yours or mine.

[jai mari078]

you boxing fans know styles make fights and you guys also know floyd is very selective with his opponents

EXACTLY!!!!! Your 100% right, and thats exactly why he selected Maidana.

I am a Maidana fan but he is tailor made for Floyd and Floyd knows that.

damn haters are NEVER satisfied, now if he woulda chose khan people would say hes picking on the "glass jaw" guy. stop hating damn, BOTH fights are easy for floyd, hell ANYBODY is easy for floyd, hes the best there is. but Khan is EASIER, those "fast hands" didnt mean nothing vs julio diaz, move on..he went life and death with a maidana that is nowhere the fighter he is today after getting with trainer garcia and is riding a 4 fight winning streak, is probably the biggest power puncher at 147 and a chin that guarantees floyd wont hurt him and yet people complain smh.

khan has not put in ANY work with his hands, hes tryna TALK his way into a floyd fight and thats why hes not getting it, let him fight thurman to prove himself or he can shut up he doesnt bring NOTHING to the table that would scare floyd give me a break.[/QUOTE

Agree 100%. Khan Was a manufactured champion, all hype and spin, the British media hyped khan up in to some sort of boxing super star, which of course he is not, have the people who thing Khan should get the Mayweather seen the Khan vs. Diaz fight?

Other than the fact he has fought Khan and currently the number 1 140lbs fighter in the world?

You're flattering yourself if you think he's not seeing things that you (or I) are not.

I agree he doesn't deserve the Mayweather fight even though I do think it's the harder fight of the two for Floyd. But manufactured champion is bull****. His run from Kotelnik to Judah made him deservedly one of the top 2 Light welters in the world, and Timothy Bradley didn't wanna risk his chance to fight Pacquiao despite Khan's substantial efforts to make the fight and determine the best in the division. Just because he seems to have faded since the Peterson fight doesn't take away from what was a good run in his prime.

[Mercdoc1998]

Of course maidana is easier......

Of course Maidana is easier, that's why Fraud picked him. He beat an over hyped club fighter in Broner and that's really all he's done. he's slow plodding and one dimensional. It will be another boring Fraud fight where there are no chances taken and no risk of the outcome. Now the Fraud train will try and portray maidana as some" dangerous threat to his crown". Are we ever going to stop getting ****** into this fraud over and over and over. Does Fraud even know he is tainting his own legacy. He will be known in the future as the guy who never fought anybody in there prime, never took the best guy available and never put it on the line. You cannot be the greatest if you have never fought the best competition available. He is " the guy who wouldn't fight Manny"
