Why did Mayweather pick Maidana/Berto over Khan?

[Mr. Philadel]

Chino had just put the beats on AB....so he had a nice buzz so it seemed LOGICAL for Floyd to ride that wave....I also think Floyd had the right to take a victory lap with Berto so I don't hold that against him as well

do I think AK would've caused him more problems than Berto?!?..without a doubt....it's a shame AK will never get to show how underrated he is as fighter on here...because it seems, if you perform better than expected against Floyd or Pac, fans tend to forget your past....AK is a stylistic problem for BOTH Floyd and Pac imo

because floyd always fights the best therefore these guys were the best

Maybe he watched the Algieri fight.

I didn't voted because I didn't think either option was correct. Whoever fights Mayweather gets a large payday. I think Mayweather hates Khan and didn't want to reward him with the money Khan would get if Mayweather picked him. Khan disrespected Mayweather for years saying how he would beat Mayweather and Mayweather was afraid of him. He never stopped running his mouth about how Mayweather should give him the fight but was afraid of him. Berto and Maidana never chased after Mayweather or insulted him and they got the Mayweather fight. If Khan had stayed busy fighting good fighters and quit sitting on the sidelines insulting Mayweather he probably would have gotten a shot at Mayweather. Instead he antagonized Mayweather to the point that Mayweather was never going to reward him with a fight. Mayweather was certainly never afraid of Khan. Canelo, Cotto and Pacquiao are all much scarier than Khan.

Maidana was the better option. He had actually had a big win in recent years, plus he had a belt. The Berto fight was whatever. Khan should've put himself in a position where he had a big win, and should probably have STFU every now and then.

Lol @ the notion of Khan being a money fighter.

[Earl-Hickey]

people can say what they like but Khan stylistically could have caused floyd problems, handspeed, movement

if they went in with the right gameplan to shoe shine, run around and just fight an annoying awkward fight then it could have been a close one on the cards

I especially think Maidana was picked as an easy mark due to his clumsy, slow style but it backfired somewhat.

Speed, reach and bad hands.

Khan was all wrong for Floyd and being a flawed fighter beating him doesn't get you the credit compared to how difficult a fight it would have been.

[Juof]

Stylistically khan has the potential to be a nightmare for floyd i believed if khan got the fight after he beat devon alexander he would of had a good chance of winning. But i cant see hik beating floyd after his inactivity. High risk low reward imo yes khan is a big money fighter over here in the uk. But he kind of neglected the uk fan base though he does have a big pakistan/dubai following because hes always out there

what buzz? Floyd did a poll asking fans to vote for his next opponent. Fans picked Khan over Maidana.

you know Floyd, his integrity is impeccable, he say one thing and do the opposite.

we are going for a knock out, then hugged and run.

then like a church choir genius floyd fans sings

Floyd did what he always does.

though floyd is the A-side it is his opponents responsibility to make the fight exciting.

it is also his opponents responsibility for the KO to come

they all have to run right smack thru his check hooks and stand still to be sucker punched twice.

if those opponents don't do the above mentioned it's their fault.
