Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather on Why He Chose Maidana over Khan

[Fluid04]

Everybody calls him out from 140 to 160...everytime according to somebody in lala land if he picks one it leaves out somebody and they call it ducking. Think about it Floyd ducking Khan?? You couldnt be more delusional lol. If slower less skilled fights like Garcia, Prescott, Peterson, and Diaz can catch Khan someone PLEASE explain why they think Floyd wont lol.

He had khan running for dear life and pacquiao definitely is ducking Floyd jr. No doubt about it. Mayweather already had May 3rd and the MGM booked.then PAC beat rios and chose to in April. Simple and plain.

Still, didn't beat him did he?

If Khan is dropped and than barley beats a D- level fighter Diaz hell on earth is he going to beat Mayweather ? Mayweather would have to do a Chuck Norris Blind fold me for Khan to have a chance . I think Mayweather blind Folded would still beat Khan

Maidana was the least of 2 horrible choices.

Mayweather beats Maidana with one arm tied behind his back. As another poster said, both were awful and unjust selections. I'm sure Floyd will talk a good game, though, and sell this to gullible fans.

The real question shouldn't be why Maidana over Khan. It should be why are these the two choices? Really couldn't negotiate with Pacquiao? Couldn't fight Lara at 54? Couldn't fight Martinez at Middleweight or at least a catch weight (but Cotto could?)? Couldn't try to fight GGG at Middleweight or a catchweight?

Pac was given a chance at making his biggest paycheck by manning up and taking the test. Instead he hid behind his dad, err , promoter, sued for chump change, got KO'd for chump change, then demanded PED testing, and now he's waiting by the phone for Floyd to call.

He already screwed up royally.

Affects both fighters, really. Floyd will be remembered for not fighting Pacquaio and vice-versa.

So did Floyd, he wouldnt be getting flak if he had already fought (and likely beaten) Pacquiao by now

You wouldnt be posting on the forums needing to defend him every single day of your life.

Someone mentioned Floyd vs. Lara. I think that's a horrible fight. That'll be a fight to see who feints the best. I rather see the boxer vs. puncher or puncher vs. puncher fights any day, but a defensive technician vs. another defensive technician would not be a good fight.

I would like to see Floyd stay at 147 and fight Bradley, Pac, maybe Khan if he's impressive in his next couple fights and maybe 2-Time. But with his retirement getting closer and he's only fighting twice a year, there's a lot of people who will get passed over.

Some also mentioned GGG, but he's way too big. Especially when there's talk of him fighting at 168 vs. Ward and Chavez Jr. People don't realize or forgot, Floyd had pop in the lower weights and lost all of his power when he got to 147 and even more so at 154. He's greatest attribute is his defense, but he's flatfooted when he fights above 147. All of his fights should be at 147 and the best at those weights should get in line.
