To start. Maidana is a beast. He almost sparked out Khan, and his fight with Broner is one of my all time favourites. He's a pitbull and always someone I'll be excited to watch...EXCEPT when it's against Mayweather.
I was looking forward to the Khan fight. Obviously, 9 times out of 10 Mayweather stops Khan inside the distance, and even higher odds for a points win in general, but I like to see Mayweather face people that have an advantage over him. Khan is faster, and that COULD pose some problems for May, especially because at times he can drop a few rounds due to slow starts. Maidana has absolutely nothing for Mayweather, and people who have convinced themselves that Broner is the next Mayweather are ridiculous. Mayweather easily wins that fight, which is a major disappointment because I wanted to see if Khan could use his speed and bring a few issues to the kingpin's doorstep.
Although, not a chance is Mayweather ducking Khan.
