Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Eyes Mayweather vs. Khan Clash in 2011

[WESS]

******!

Mayweather better be fighting Pac at 147, Martinez at 154 or Berto at 147.

Khan still has Bradley, Alexander and I would love to see Khan fight JMM at 140 as well. Khan should be the one fighting Mosley or Berto or someone else at 147 before ever talking about Mayweather let alone Pac. De La Hoya better be just promoting Khan by putting his name next to Floyd's.

As for a match up. A complete mis-match and cherry picking on Floyd's part if he takes the "challenge", especially before all the names mentioned for him above.

But, you're not Floyd. If I was Pac I would go fight Martinez. I mean what are we saying here?

You can say the same thing for Pac. He can go fight Martinez as well and put Floyd to shame if you want to use that logic. Is not like I have seen Floyd running around mentioning Martinez since the Williams KO. So who is to say Floyd wants any part of him?

The point either they both need each other or they don't need each other. Again the whole one guy needs the other more so argument is just lame talk by fan boys. And, it looks like you're one. So it is what it is...

I am tired of both, let both retire and take their fan boys with them.

The point is neither have an option. Can't ignore Martinez calling them out @154 when both have won titles there. Manny and company is already on record saying NO MARTINEZ FIGHT so if you were Manny that would be you,lol. For more BS no Manny doesn't need Floyd I guess if your with the BS. Max Kellerman and the rest of boxing seems to be saying Manny needs to step up or shut up. Floyd can beat the hell out of Manny. He can skirt around after that all he wants but he would have to see Martinez or it would take away from his standing in my book and I'm a huge PBF fan.

You're acting like if Floyd is rushing to fight Martinez. He is not...

If both retire today? Who would it hurt more? Pac? How so? By most accounts he is greater than Floyd? Will their be questions? Sure but their are question with other great fighters. But, the way the media plays it... the questions would fade away and by most accounts Pac would go down as the greater fighter. So this "step up, or shut up" is not really true. Should it happen? Sure but looking at it neutrally Pac don't need Floyd...And, I don't see how Floyd needs Pac either.

One doesn't need the other more...They're at the point if both fight at 147 next is either fight each or bust...Which again either they both need each other or they don't need each other. Is one or the other.

[FloydTBE]

As Mayweather fan #2, and a boxing fan #1, I have no interest in this fight.

[Apple Mac]

Thing is it wasn't that definitive who was the #1 given most of it is down to on what time period and the styles of the fighters. It switched around so regularly after every fight it puts questions marks on the weight the ranking had when it's immediately amended at the first opportunity.

I don't think Marg was so clearly the best WW out there when he beat Cotto and I don't think Mosely was when he beat him.

It's just how things and the fights in terms of order, worked out, and who was/wasn't around.

Fact is Manny faced Marg when Floyd didn't, and anyone he's faced whom Floyd has he's pretty much beaten more convincingly for the most part. Same may well go for Mosely.

There's not exactly a ton of more guys Manny can face at WW, there is however for Floyd accrued over the years. He could make up for that by at last facing the obvious guy above him in the division and p4p rankings, but instead there's a sense he might get away with it again by facing Khan. Ultimately, a shame. I think that's more a perfect way of fooling the public by Floyd again, more than anything else.

Well said. You got the others and Floyd lovers here
