Mayweather vs. Maidana set for May 3rd

For everyone who thinks he should have fought Khan… why? Because Khan beat Maidana 4 years ago? Who gives a fuck what anyone did 4 years ago? Since when do you earn fights based on what you did 4 years ago?

I'll be the first to say I'm not thrilled with Mayweather/Maidana and predict Mayweather by a wide margin, but Khan has absolutely NO momentum, he's coming off a performance where he BARELY got by a subpar fighter, and HE'S NEVER FOUGHT AT 147!

Say what you want about Maidana but at least he's a legit WW coming off a big win. And I'll say the same thing I said when people were smashing Broner for (in their opinions) picking a "weak" opponent in Maidana: when the fuck did Maidana become a pushover? Maidana isn't going to lay down for anyone and he has bricks in both hands.

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 .

bollox ;d

not really. Perhaps Floyd should've fought Khan and after that give Diaz a shot because he ran Khan so close. Or maybe Molina, or even Garcia or Peterson who both beat Khan. I tell you what, perhaps Floyd should've fought the man in the hat at ringside for the Peterson fight , because he had so much influence on the outcome of that! Let's see who Khan fights next and what the outcome is shall we.

---

yeah lets

what a really good plan that is

---

Thank you, I thought so.

The only people happy about this match-up are Floyd and Maidana.

I agree, but with Bradley, Pac and Danny Garcia with fights booked already, who else could he have fought besides Maidana?

The only thing I'll say for Floyd is that although I thought Khan would have won more rounds against Floyd... Stopping Maidana will look a lot better than stopping Khan.

Why weren't there any light middleweight fights being lined up?

I'm sure Khan will be up next for September and he knows it. He (Khan) supposedly will announce his next fight in 2 weeks. I would still like to see him fight Brook for the shot though. And I think Maidana will be a very live and determined underdog who might surprise alot of people with his performance.

Like who? He beat the only two names at 154, Canelo and Cotto. Lara? Tricky fighter but no name value yet. Carlos Molina? Anthony Mundine? Ishe Smith? K9? Kirkland? Who would care about those fights?

nobody is giving maidana a shot. why? he hits hard and in my opinion, beat khan. made broner look bad. and im sure he will give it 110% unlike others just looking for a payday. he will have the latinos behind him and ill even be rooting for him, and im american. maidana is a warrior.

he might be a lil slow, but pressure can sometimes catch up to a runner like fraud mayweather.
maidana will be training like a beast im sure. for boxings sake, lets hope for a changing of the guard.

Theres nothing else matey.

Bradley and pac arent an option under top rank.

Garcia is under al hayman and might happen next year.

---

people are mentioning other fighters, all who can be argued either way

we were under the impression it was maidana or khan and the disapointing thing about it all for me is maidana has no chance of winning a single round (probably wont land a punch) at least khan could have been a bit interesting

what happened to the broner rematch?

Floyd made a better offer and Broner relented to his mentor. Maidana is far too slow to trouble Floyd. The end.

Mares is supposed to be on the undercard moving up and challenging Miura for his title. The undercard will be stacked with Mexicans/Mexican-Americans to help sell the Cinco PPV.

Hope the Mexicans do not fall for it and the fight bombs and Floyd has to really test himself.

Hopefully the not-so-great main event means we get three or four great undercard fights.

Maidana did more to earn the shot anyhow, Khan can go fight another bum at home or fight his way into a big title fight

---

no he dint :)

what a shit fight

---

um beating Josesito Lopez (by brutal beating) then whopping "unbeaten" Broner dominantly > beating unproven Carlos Molina and barely getting by a shot ancient Julio Diaz soooo yea he did

hell Alexander should have been ahead of Khan in line for a shot against Mayweather, cause even he beat Maidana more dominantly, Khan wouldn't even be the favorite in that rematch, so the bitch can shut his whiny ass up
