    Second, Mayweather handily won the rematch and has faced a number of slow come forward brawlers and downright lesser fighters since.
    I asked a question. Any answer? Was JLC a slow brawler?

      And Floyd fans have been vocal that if he were to choose Khan it was a terrible fight. And it was. Why? Because Amir Khan just hasn't dont anything to warrant a fight with Floyd. You know it and anyone else with sense knows that. UK fans (not all) are seriously butthurt that Khan didn't get the fight and I find that laughable. Suggesting that he choose the "easier fight". LOL. Man we are talking about Amir freaking Khan. It's ridiculous.

      If Khan wasn't British, none of them would give a **** if he got the fight or not.

        He did choose the easier fight. And to suggest it's only "UK fans" that are saying this is typical of the agenda.

        Listen to the people within boxing who've commented on the situation and they've pretty much all said that Floyd chose the easier style and that Khan's style would have presented more problems.

            Absolutely. And here's the thing. Had he picked Khan, they would have supported Khan up until the fight. Then Khan gets whitewashed by a 37 year old and they diss him for even fighting Khan in the first place. What is going to be even funnier is when Khan fights again and looks like crap.

              He brings the pressure, aggressive, definitely a brawler style.

              I think Castillo was a lot better then than Maidana is now.

                awkwardness, chin, power, willingness to come forward.


                nobody says he's going to win. nobody even appears to be giving him a shot. he's just a better opponent than amir khan.


                i give maidana a punchers chance, the same chance you give any fighter with genuine power.

                  Well I've wanted to see Manny Pacquaio and Sergio Martinez get the fight for years. I guess they were British too?

                  It's ok thought because Floyd can keep fighting these flat footed guys that make him look good and you can keep eating it up. TBE!

                    Many of those people also said Khan didn't deserve the fight and wouldn't have won any way.

                    No one is saying your points are not valid, but your acting as if Khan deploys his skills at the level necessary to defeat floyd. He surely hasn't done this in the last 2 years.

                    Had he beaten Danny, he'd be fighting Floyd.

                      I LOL at that last line and you have kept saying it. Nothing about Khan's style would give Mayweather problems, man. Again, this is Amir freaking Khan.
