Amir Khan Talks Maidana, Bradley-Alexander, Prescott

By Mark Vester

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan recently discussed several topics on his personal twitter page. Khan says a fight with mandatory contender Marcos Maidana is going to take place as planned on December 11. He doesn't want people to make excuses if he beats Maidana, but he expects his critics to attack his win regardless of the result.

"What if I knockout Maidana in five rounds, people will still hate and say he is also sh*t. I just make fighters ordinary," Khan said.

Once the Maidana fight is done, Khan wants the winner of the January fight between WBC/IBF champion Devon Alexander and WBO champion Timothy Bradley. He sees himself as the sole unified champion in 2011.

"After Maidana I want [the] winner of Bradley vs Alexander. I promise by end of next year, I will be [the] unified champ. Hold me to it and if I don't, someone remind me please because I know nobody will need to," Khan said. 

Khan is tired of people always bringing up a rematch Breidis Prescott. The Colombian puncher knocked Prescott out in less than a minute of the first round in their 2008 bout. Khan doesn't see Prescott as being an opponent who is worthy of a rematch.

"For those haters, Prescott is long gone. He won't fight me. I'm past that level. But what a great learning curve the defeat was. The defeat came from God to show me I was slacking. It makes me think 'no wonder it finished so quick,' and I was not hurt. Only my pride was hurt. Look at me now," Khan said.
