' Possibility '
That means a 5% chance.
Why?, El Chino wants to knock Khan's head off back to the first row, why the 5% chance?
Is Amir and his fans scared of El Chino, that they absolutly rule out a chance to beat this tough m0therfvcker?
:rolleyes:
I agree, Khan will have to stick to the plan and execute it again perfectly.
I don't actually like Khan (and I've warmed a lot to Maidana after his Ortiz battle), so I wouldn't mind at all if he lost. But I can't see it happening.
I'm actually a Roach fan.. so a part of me wants him to succeed with Khan. However I like Maidana's hayemaker swinging quiet disposition. I don't want either to lose but I think this would definitely be a good fight. I'd be fairly surprised if Warren were willing to roll the dice with Khan against Maidana despite what appears to be a stylystically favorable matchup.
I respect what everyone's saying, and I realize Khan has made a lot of improvements under roach, but lets not forget that Prescott wasn't exactly a technician and he still managed to crack that chin at will. This would be a very exciting fight. Maidana isn't as slow and plodding as Kotelnik. Khan would need another masterful/focused performance to win this.

Khan would beat Maidana quite comfortably.

I hate the amount of hype Maidana - crude fighter with a big punch - is getting.
I also hate the fact that Khan is hated and sh*tted on because he has a 'weak' chin whilst totally ignoring his amazing progression he has made over the last year.
For that reason alone I hope Khan schools and humiliates him. That way the hype surrounding Maidana will hopefully die down.
