mayweather gave 2 names for a fight. Maidana and Khan. He offered it to a vote. Khan won the overwhelming vote. Yet he chose to ignore his own offer of a public vote and took Maidana instead. Not once, but an unnecessary second occasion. That is ducking. But I also agree that some of the fault also lies with Khan and his poor planning. Whoever was advising him did a very bad job.

Yeah let's just ignore the fact that out of four polls that were put up, Maidana overwhelmingly won 3 of the 4.

Let's also ignore the fact that Maidana was unification fight as Maidana was the WBA champ and Floyd the WBC champ.

Let's also ignore that Maidana was coming from a FOTY performance against Broner, Broner who was Floyd's 'lil bro' and apprentice.

I mean, yeah, if we ignore all that, then it didn't make sense at all that Floyd chose Maidana over Amir Bum.

aaah, now I remember what you're talking about.....

you are talking about when you started having convulsions after I told you that Broner has a better legacy than Golovkin..... right ?

Wow, do you actually think that bum Broner has a better legacy than Golovkin? If so, that's the kind of madness i'm talking about. Not one person in the media would take you seriously.

Broner doesn't even have a good win on his resume. Golovkin has Jacobs, Lemieux and Murray as good wins on his. And we all know Golovkin beat Canelo both times. But it's OK, you hate Golovkin so much that any close fight with him involved would always go to the opponent. Even if they are drug cheats.

Who cares about any other poll other than the official one Floyd put up?

And that "Bum" beat Maidana. Why would Floyd pick a victim of a bum?

That bum was running for his life and getting beat from Pillar to Post in the championship rounds by Maidana and ducked a rematch.

Let's not forget it was before Maidana was trained by Garcia.

If Khan took a rematch he would have been KTFO we all know that.

What makes you say that one poll was official and the others weren't when the others were set up by official sports broadcasting networks like showtime and espn?

Broner is the youngest champion ever to win titles in 4 divisions

how many divisions did Mr " anyone from 154-168 " win titles?

Broner has some good wins..... Golovkin has an asterisk with Danny Jacobs, a good win over Murray, and..... Lemieux.....

Lemieux..... ?

that guy who Billy-Joe Saunders totally undressed..... ?

hmmm, now..... can Broner beat a Lemieux-level opponent in his own division?..... or a Murray-level opponent?

you missed the point genius.....

you guys used to run around comparing Golovkin to Hagler and Hopkins..... now we are arguing about whether he should be compared to Broner

chill, I am pulling your chain..... but, if not for those losses..... I would be posting you some gif's of Broner's dad brushing his hair right about now

if you think that Golovkin beat Canelo in the rematch, then you are one of the guys that bread was referring to when he said you guys don't know how to score a fight

controlling the fight and making Golovkin miss BIG has to be scored. You can’t dismiss it!

that is ring generalship, and defence.....

the 4 official scoring criteria are.....
* clean hard punching
* effective aggression
* ring generalship
* defence

and Canelo was obviously showing effective aggression as he backed-up and beat-up Golovkin with those clean hard punches

which of the official criteria did you see Golovkin win ?

forget adding up jabs on compubox

who won the exchanges and who controlled the fight is more important..... Canelo fought his fight, he inflicted his gameplan on Golovkin

you don't know what you were watching

yeah let's ignore the fact that floyd likes to tell everyone he calls all the shots. he is the a-side. so when he puts up his own poll and khan wins it, it suddenly becomes irrelevant?

Maidana, one of the so called dangereous punchers couldn't knock down chinny khan with his upper cuts.

Khan ran did the skinky leg and ran the entirety of the second half of that fight and ducked a rematch coz he knew what was up.

[medium-deek]

when Khan stops hiding under his bed from Brook, I will give him the good news that we officially think Floyd ducked him

yes, I agree one can make a case that khan is doing to brook exactly what he complained mayweather was doing to him.

Khan beat Maidana clearly. That's all that matters. He beat him at his best and at his best weight.

Maidana went backwards after the Khan loss. Khan would have beat him even better had they rematched.

It was the official poll because it was the one Floyd set up. No other poll mattered.
