Khan must be fuming.
Khan must really shine in his next fight to get the september fight!
Khan will have to fight on undercard.
Mayweather will make Maidana look even more silly than Alexander made him look I'd say. From beating Canelo comfortably to fighting Maidana. Disappointing.
So no one is happy about this?!
For crying out loud, if khan would have been picked it would have been worse.
Look how many ko maidana has and his new trainer has given him improvement...lets be positive.
The idea that Maidana has somehow shown himself more worthy by beating an over hyped braggart fighting north of his own weight class is a ridiculous one. Pacquiao is fighting the guy Floyd should be for the second time now. It's all a bit sad.
Whether you think he deserves it or not Khan would have been more entertaining for a few rounds and given Mayweather a better chance of stopping someone spectacularly, something he has not done for a while. Madiana will have to be reincarnated to show Floyd anything he hasn't negated on numerous previous occasions and after the initial bluster it will be rinse and repeat for round after round. Dull.
Good. This is a more compelling fight than Khan would be. Maidana won't win but he's got a punchers chance and he deserves the payday.
I don't like the fight, I would have preferred Khan for the difficulties he presented. But don't be confused. Both are easy fights.
But let's stop and look at the fans. Bradley, Bradley, Bradley. I'll hold my reply until I hear a fool say Bradley could beat Floyd. It's simply unimaginable. Even Bradley said he had no clue how to fight Floyd before he signed a contract that ensured he wouldn't.
Let's be real there is a storm a coming. Nobody wants this fight but they voted for it on every real vote. Not only did they vote for it but it's a unification fight, wait what? It's the earned fight and serves the proposed point of the sport.
Go ahead and hate. Floyd has you hating so much at this point you are the bad guy. If you have depth you'll hear what I'm not saying. If you don't you'll just be hating.
So Floyd choses Khans leftovers!
I think the amount of people in this thread alone who would have rather seen him fight Amir sums it up.
I said a while ago that all Floyd cares about is retiring without a loss and beating Marcianos record.
He's blatantly swerved Khan here.
Nobody thinks Bradley could beat Floyd, that is not the point. I would even give Khan a chance against Bradley (and credit for being willing to fight him unlike Floyd). There is a lot of hate in this thread but most of it is directed towards Khan, so accusing people of being shallow Floyd haters is a bit daft.
I never wanted Floyd to fight Khan because he didn't deserve to be in the same ring. But Maidana is also a shit choice because Floyd wins easily. Just pissed off about the options really, lesser of 2 evils.
I see it being a bit of a dud on the PPV as well, so they've shot themselves in the foot. Bored of it already.
Until all the political squabbling is sorted , there's never gonna be a happy ending. His final 3 fights should be Bradley , Pacquiao and finally Garcia if he has made the transition to Welterweight. Nothing else is satisfactory .
