Mayweather vs. Maidana set for May 3rd

[beenKOed]

Mayweather doesn't wanna fight the man who beat Maidana already and has taken the easier fight no question.

Another slow predictable plodder who's gonna get beaten on points in Floyds 3rd snoozefest in a row.

Khan would have given him big problems and he knows it.

This is gonna be a total.shut out like his last 2 fights, Amir would have at least made this a real fight.

Personally, I believe Maidana is going to suffer some serious damage in this fight. Odds are going to be for the UD but I'd throw a little down on a Mayweather stoppage. Khan would get caught early. He's shown a tendency to get drawn into compromising positions, and Mayweather would make him pay dearly for it. I would bet the stoppage had Mayweather fought Khan. Khan has faultered mightily against tougher competition.

How could you say the Alvarez fight was a snoozefest? Because Mayweather won? Mayweather has consistently brought it his last couple fights.

I don't know about serious damage but he definitely will not win, in my opinion.
I really don't know why Floyd is fighting Maidana, other than the fact that he thinks it's a sure win, maybe he is giving Broner a lesson on how to beat Maidana. Could be that he wants to teach Maidana a lesson or he might just have Cinco de Mayo in mind, even though Maidana is not Mexican.

As good as any fight out there for pbf really, not like there is a row of more deserving fighters out there. Glad Amir didn't get it, you don' go to outboxing the best boxer in the world like some seem to think he would do after essentially scraping by a past his best journeyman, plus that dam chin.I like Amir always fun to watch but he needs to work some things out first. Who knows maybe floyd finally gets old and maidana gets lucky and cracks him early and keeps him dazed and we have a fight, but that's wishful thinking, I'm guessing most likely we have a 118-110 on our hands, but really that's the case with most anyone floyd fights so...

What a bitch move by Floyd.

Khan is clearly the harder fight and Maidana is perfect for Floyd, he'll be lucky to land a punch on PBF.

Fight will be a snoozefest.

Floyd by UD 118-110

I hope some poor sap didn't just put their house on 10 even rounds and Floyd to edge it close after you said that.

[TheMacMagician]

Mayweather will make Maidana look even more silly than Alexander made him look I'd say. From beating Canelo comfortably to fighting Maidana. Disappointing.

ha slip of the finger

good job it didnt do that on betfred

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.

[Beanz]

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.

[Hulk]

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.

Put my house on 120-118?

See, this is why incest shouldn't happen.

[Ron Swanson]

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.

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.

[smashup]

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.

[Primo Carnera]

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 .
