FFS Floyd make a choice already!!!

[Beanflicker]

It's a tough decision because there really isn't a good fight out there for him.

He's already beat the two cash guys at 154 (Cotto and Alvarez), the two interesting fighters at 147 are fighting each other. Keith Thurman would be an interesting fight but he still coming up and hasn't really proven himself yet.

In the end, it has to be Maidana. I know he's beaten Maidana's style tons of times before, but at least Maidana is ranked at WW (unlike Khan who's never even fought at 147).

Really nobody deserves it more than Danny Garcia but I think they want to build the relationship with PR best, build him into a bigger star so the Floyd fight generates even more money.

Danny garcia AND timothey bradley!

These two wont happen this year or not at all!

With maidana they could showcase the broner win and perhaps play on the fact that maidana was successful against that style. (Even if broner is flat footed)

Well when you're talking about who's deserving, nobody deserves it more than Tim Bradley.

To be fair, I think Garcia should have to fight and win at WW before he gets a fight with Mayweather. Doesn't have to be a top 5 guy, but a guy who's legit and tough enough to prove that Garcia can cut it at WW.

[Beanflicker]

Mayweather vs Bradley would have been best case scenario, because Bradley is a PRIME, undefeated legit WW with solid speed and boxing ability, coming off a huge win over JMM.

If he manages to beat Pac (I mean REALLY beat Pac this time, not just get the nod), Mayweather vs Bradley is going to be fucking huge.

[Kirkland Laing]

This time last year they took ages to announce Guerrero. Then because they'd taken so long they had to tuncate the whole promotion, no press tour etc. and the PPV suffered as a consequence. It looks like they're going to fuck it up again.

Even though Khan has already beat Maidana?

Is Maidana rated simply becuase he beat Bronner? Isn't Bronner just a bit overrated?

Didn't a fat Morales nearly beat Maidana?

Seriously

There is that arguement.

Then theres the arguement of:-

1. Khan has never fought at 147
2. Khan has lost two of his biggest fights at 140.
3. Khans last wins were against lightweights
4. Khan nearly lost in last fight to a past prime by 8 yrs lightweight.
5. Khan hasnt fought for ten months
6. Khan is a spoilt brat.
7. Khan has never avenged his losses.

Imp wins point 1
Khan was the better fighter at 140lb - point bzkfn
Broner will never fight at super feather again - point imp
Maidana victory was better point imp
Draw who cares if they never avenge their losses.
The battle is declared a draw.

Maidana has slightly improved though..
Cant change khan.
Perhaps khan should be fighting maidana in may.

I agree with your last statement. Truth be told I don't think either of them deserve this fight. I was just making the point that most of the things you said about Khan you could also say about Maidana. The only reason Maidana's win against Broner was considered such an upset is that he'd choked in every big fight previous to this. Boxers generally make him look stupid. Khan isn't going to improve, you're right, but he is electric on the attack and his fights are almost always exciting. I don't get all the hate with him. He's entertaining. As a boxing fan you should love guys who are all or nothing like him.

[g3org3]

How much longer can they wait to announce his next fight ? I'm starting to think he might pull out and just fight in September

I do like khan and he is exciting.

I just feel that a boxers age isnt always prime related.

Khan has been in some tough battles and the biggest point for me as someone mentioned is the fact he chose to sat on his arse for ten months and expect the mayweather fight.

Your right, they both dont deserve it but this is all we have right now.

It's all about what's fresh in peoples minds. Maidana just came off a huge, entertaining, and emphatic win over a big name opponent that was supposed to be the next big thing. He is on a 4 fight win streak...most by KO/TKO. Khan has not looked impressive in a LONG time...even when he has won. Add to it that people are overselling Khan's PPV popularity (he is not Hatton)...Maidana deserves this fight.
