Floyd wants the fans to pick his next fight.. khan or Maidana

[Primo Carnera]

Dear Floyd,
I would love to share the ring with you for a few minutes, con the public,humiliate myself and pretend I'm a good challenger in return for a shit load of money, and then I'll never fight again.
I know there are lots out there who want to do the same,but none of them have as quick hands as I have. I hold the world record for chopping 10 onions,beating Jamie Oliver and Edward Scissorhands in the process. It hasnt really helped me much in boxing at a decent level,but it sounds good.
I reckon I could make you look very powerful, after all I've been knocked in the 2 weights below , so it would be as easy as falling off a log to get sparked by you, after all , you did it to Ricky Hatton and he's probably better than me. Please read my resume below of my past 5 years experience.
Prescott - knocked me out inside a minute at Lightweight!
Oisin Fagan- impressive victory against a top 100 fighter
Barrera - he was a bit over the top, and I was struggling,but after I head butted him , I got myself a nice little technical decision.
Kotelnik- when you can't cut it at a weight what do you do? Go up a weight and take on the weakest champion! Dunno what he's doing now, but the money we gave him goes a long way in the Ukraine.
Salita - nice little 1st defence, 1st rd ko! Some fans probably paid £10 per second to see that. he's never been heard of before or since .
Malignaggi-another good defence as there was zero chance of him exposing my glass jaw with his feather fists.
Maidana- my best performance ever, Maidana was actually top 10. He still made me look a clown in the 10th round though.
McCloskey - tough fight against a top 50 journeyman.
Judah- I beat Zab Judah, but then again, who doesn't beat Zab Judah?
Peterson - before the fight I was telling everyone how I would win easy and was looking to fight Tim Bradley after (pretending to want it anyway) anyway, he beat me, so I had to blame it on some bloke at the ringside with a hat on.
Garcia- he's not in my league, I was winning after one and a half rounds! Unfortunately after that he knocked me into next week!
Molina - I needed to see if I could still take a punch, so why not fight a lightweight who has never been in the rankings of any of the governing bodies! Bit of a struggle , but I got there in the end.
Diaz - a career lightweight who also dropped me!!! (Still not sure why my fast hands didn't help!)
That was over a year ago by the time we meet, so I'm sure I'll be a bit rusty,but who cares.
By the way, as well as conning the few British fans I have, I've also conned GBP into thinking I have a big following in Britain, but to be honest I never fight there that much , so I'm hardly gonna bring the fans Ricky Hatton did.
Please fight me because I'd rather you end my career than Kell Brook or Adrien Broner.

Fight Tim Bradley already!

Maidana is winning this vote by a huge margin already!!

He's got roughly 3/4 of the votes so far.

I just read about 5 conflicting stories about this vote and who's winning?

This one claims its much closer to 50-50

World Boxing News - Mayweather poll update: Maidana 57% Khan 43%

I remember a while back Khan got found out to have hundred of thousands of fake twitter followers, apparently his management brought him a load to make it more impressive. If they wanted to fight all they would have to do is allow these fake followers to vote for Khan since its all done through facebook or twitter on mayweather promotions website.

Let's see if Floyd will pick the social media poll winner Maidana.

[ruthless rocco]

Bradley doesn't really want to fight Mayweather... So you guys should all settle down.

[J_Undisputed]

"I'll fight whoever the fans want, as long as it's one of my two choices.." Reminds me of when Henry Ford said buyers can have any color they want as long as its black.

Khan's not even looked remotely like he could pose a threat to a concensus, top pound for pound, future first ballot hall of fame fighter. He's been ko'd, wobbled, outworked, outsmarted on different occasions by fighters of different calibers.

Maidanas been outworked by Lopez before that last surge. The body shot by Khan that dropped him could've exposed weakness. At least maidana has invented himself since then and comes into a fight on a high note, with something to offer. (he wont promise a brawl and then be looking to outbox Floyd like Canelo)

Both these guys are being set up to be knocked out to make floyd look even better. When floyd knocks out khan, will anyone be shocked? When floyd takes maidana into deep water and drown him and ko's him when he fades, it still appears impressive in light of maidanas more recent accomplishments. Pick Khan if you want a better promotion (better talk up to beating once Khan unravels) or pick Maidana for a boring promotion but a longer drubbing with more chance of fireworks before maidana fades.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Maidana is the easiest opponent since Gatti.. floyd hasnt scored a legit KO in awhile but he would score one here.. I cant see maidana lasting more than 8 rounds..

He's too wide open, he's nothing but a target practice... If I was floyd, id be licking my chops with the thought of facing maidana.. it would be so much fun to display all his arsenal..

[imp]

I agree.

Fight bradley.

Khan has beaten maidana but looked awful in his last fight against a lightweight guy 8 years out of prime.

If floyd beats khan and bradley beats pac then i hope floyd vs bradley can somehow get done in september.

Khan has never lost on points apart from peterson which was controversial so khan has to somehow install his speed and presence into the fight and make floyd fight his fight.

I wish khan well as a fellow brit but if he isnt winning by round 5 then i see floyd taking over...then again, floyd is nearly 40 yrs old!!

OK lets get this right. Kahn loses to lamont peterson and gets tko'd by danny garcia, and floyd wants Kahn? Why not danny or Lamont? I mean shit, manny gets koed but for one loss. Kahn had to back to back loses and he wants kahn. wtf. LIke I said before, floyd will probably ko Kahn.

But we all saw the video of why floyd doesnt want Manny.

Floyd will destroy Kahn.

Not sure Floyd wants Khan but its a much bigger fight money wise then Maidana. It makes little difference how Khan did again Peterson and Garcia in an objective approach. Both of those guys are boxer/brawlers. Floyd isn't. How he did against them offers little insight on how he matches up against Floyd anymore then Penders loses had to do with how he matched up against Robinson.

Where Manny is concerned nothing has changed. If you think Marquez landed the right hands well try to imagine Floyd. Manny probably wont get past Bradley and speaking of Bradley I agree with @El Kabong. That is who he should be fighting. Khan imo will make this more interesting over the first 4 to 6 rounds then anyone else Floyd has fought for quite some time. Khan does not have to worry about trying to bang out to survive here. He can use his speed and boxing ability in this fight more then any fight at the elite level that he has had. Every once in awhile styles do make fights.

[Master]

Floyd is taking the piss, he has no respect for either of these opponents. Only us Brits are really interested with Khan but most have the sense to know he will get beat.

Yes Khan will get beat . but then again anyone else will to.
Maidana is fighting Broner so he is out , I just want to see Floyd in the ring.
