So why is Floyd allowed to hand pick his opponents? Fair..?

[p4pking]

Khan would make it a fun fight to watch for a few rounds, that's it. He has no chance at all of actually winning. Floyd always pursues the highest possible payday, which may have not always correlated with the biggest threats but anyone would do the same.

I think it would be fun all the way and not just few rounds , when was the last time we saw Floyd more than matched for speed ;-)
Khan would definitely pose problems and Floyd would have to work every second of every round.
Floyd hardly had to get out of 2nd gear against Canelo and was puffing away between the latter rounds so his age could be a huge factor against someone like Khan.
Not suggesting Khan would win but for me its a very very tough night for Floyd ;-)

All Khan matches him with is speed though. He doesn't have a clue how to box on that level otherwise, and if he did he wouldn't get knocked senseless every other time out. If Khan truly were competitive past the midway point Floyd would just go on the attack and get him out of there, we are talking about one of the only world class fighters Floyd could easily hurt. It's not even a fight imo.

Yeah thats what i said above , maybe Floyd would stop him but what i do know is Khan would test him and def go after him, Khan would force him to fight at a fierce pace and would bring the best out of him.

This is a fight that will happen and your crazy if you think Khan wont make this a real fight and will just go away, he doesnt, he pressures with speed non stop and that is is biggest downfall ... the boy loves a tear up too much but is always always exciting to watch

Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer that ever lived.

Hand picks his opponents ? Are you serious ?

It just annoys people that he beats very good fighters easy. The problem I see with Mayweather is that people want to see him get KNOCKED OUT. The problem is he beats those heavy handed guys like guys like Canelo, Diego Corrales, Gatti even easier.

People don't to see him in against a Devon Alexander but they are the type of fighters who will cause him problems. An Amir Khan type, someone with youth, speed and fast footwork, now as I say I don't think there is any fighter that I have seen who would beat Mayweather. The guy has not even had a close fighter.

People talk about Golovokin. He has not done anything. Lets see him up aganist Canelo, Martinez and Chavez Jnr. He could even move up to fight Andre Ward but Ward will run him out the ring.

I don't think at this point in his career it matters if he's hand picking or not...he's not fighting bums like everyone else is, he's fighting boxers that everyone swears will give him a tough fight until the fight happens. Then he dominates like he always does. He's just that good.

Khan and Mayweather??
Just remember that khan has a glass jaw.

[Act1107]

It isn't a gun held at head situation, but it is handpicked and therefore bound to be criticised. Mayweather has picked and picked and waited or else timed his opponents at 140 and above. It is smaller men moving up, or unknown men, or men with almost double digit losses, or else as last weekend, a bigger man with a flimsy record who hasn't proven shit.

Mayweather is smoke and mirrors in terms of opposition and it isn't a crime to say as much. He is seemingly an impeccable boxer, so it is just a shame that he is so obsessed with the money and the 0, to ever put it completely on the line.

People then say, well what do you suggest? My answer to that is simple. I want to see him against someone with heart, with skills, with speed. Currently it is plodder after plodder and carefully, carefully chosen. Bradley, Pacquiao, or Golovkin at 154, are obvious fights to make.

Just cannot agree with you, Sir, would you really call Cotto, Oscar, Mosley, Guerrero, Canelo, Marquez, Hatton or Judah plodders? Floyd may have made them look like they are plodders but every body else they fight thinks they're pretty damn good.
I'm getting pissed, I don't even like Floyd but I find myself defending him because he makes everyone else look bad. Not really pissed, just a little irritated.

If u think Mayweather only fights bums then I don't think u watch boxing at all. I'm sure u saw the Mayweather Canello fight...Canello came in 15 lbs heavier, almost 15 years younger and had the majority of fans including yourself thinking Mayweather was getting knocked out. Guess what?... Mayweather dominated every round and made Canello look like a bum. Lol

I think that's overblown a bit. He took some bombs from Maidana. Khans problem is getting caught out of position.

It is so childish, all these "it is not fair, it is not fair". Life is not fair

I agree!! All if these Mayweather haters with so many excuses!! Smh!

Floyd deals with it because he is a manipulator and is happy ripping off people and telling lies. Much like your good book of faith. They deal with it as all God thankers do.

My main point was that guys like you are criticizing Floyd for being Floyd. Why should he be like you want him to be?

Pro boxing is business. Now are no longer old days when pay cheks were not that high. At that time, pro boxing was like some advanced in skills, but regular, job. This is why I believe the overall quality was better. Now this business is done with different principles, Floyd shares his responsibility for that, no doubt, but he is definitely not the only one to be blamed.

To sum up, you want a change - go for the root of the problem, not attack the branches. Does this make sense?

People please stop hating this man for being the best athlete in the world, the best boxer in the world
Appreciate the fact that ur experiencing in our time, a legend!..
How could u deny the skill and greatness of this freak of nature. I put him in the top 3 of best boxers in the history of boxing. Who else do u want him to fight?... Really?who else

[Act1107]

I haven't stated Canelo was the best out there because he isn't.
And Floyd chose to fight him, you miss the point and dont understand how boxing works do you?
Its a business first and a sport 2nd.
Bar Manny Pac , Canelo would have made him a bigger slice of the global ppv than anyone else. He's a mega star in Mexico.

Since Mayweather hasn't impressed u yet, who should he fight then? Lets hear this one...
