Who else thinks Khan gets GTFO by Maidana in less than 5 rounds?

Maidana can be out-boxed and Khan is a good boxer. Khan has also improved his defense a lot and is an overall smarter fighter, now. Plus, he has arguably the best trainer in the world in his corner.

Sure, Maidana could get the knockout, but let's not overrate him, here. He can be out-boxed and Khan is a good boxer. Khan has also improved his defense a lot and is an overall smarter fighter, now. Plus, he would be getting advice from arguably the best trainer in the world in Roach. I could very well see Khan out-boxing Maidana, to earn a decision.

I don't think so. I think he'll keep the distance and outbox him. His chin is nowhere near as bad at 140. I think his struggle to make 135 contributed, because even Prescott's baby jabs pushed him back and shook his legs up. He took a few good shots from Kotelnik without a problem, though. This is a good post. I figure Khan would outbox him, but I wouldn't be surprised if Maidana swarmed him.

I'm not saying it's not a better fight from Khan's point of view. Of course it's better. It's not actually that much bigger than Maidana/Khan as some people will tell you but sure, he makes more money, and gets to fight a guy who's taken serious serious beatings against Hatton and Cotto. Also, did I mention Paulie has 5 KOs? I'm just saying he's ducking Maidana and when he stops ducking him then a brutal Prescott like KO will happen.

maidana fighting bradley is a bigger fight for maidana right? the truth is that khan/maidana NOT happening made sense for both fighters. you're making something out of nothing because you hate khan...

http://www.boxingfancast.com/news/khan-maidana-ducked-me Sure man, Ducked Khan so he can go against the number one in the division TIMOTHY BRADLEY? :haha:

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan has claimed that Argentine Marcos Maidana in fact ducked him and not the other way around. It was widely thought that Khan had been advised to avoid his heavy handed mandatory challenger but when posed with the question, “What about a boxer who faces his mandatories or ducks them?” on social networking site Twitter, Freddie Roach’s fighter responded, “He (Maidana) ducked me I still hold my world title, if I ducked him I would of (have) lost it pal” This could perhaps be a reference to the claim Maidana took ‘pass over’ money, getting paid so Khan would not have to fulfil his obligation to Maidana his mandatory. Khan takes on Paulie Malignaggi in New York on May 15th in his US debut. http://www.boxingfancast.com/news/khan-maidana-ducked-me

Khan schools him.

tua is talking a lot of sense. why are u so hateful towards khan rabagiyo? i dont get why u are expending so much energy hating on an exciting young fighter. why not focus on fighters who you like? bottom line is that khan/malignaggi is a much, much bigger fight than khan/maidana. why would khan duck maidana? where have u got the idea that khan is the type of fighter who avoids tough fights? remember that prescott was an unbeaten ko machine when he fought khan, and it was khan who chased the fight after being advised not to fight him. it just seems like u have an axe to grind with khan for some reason. is it because khan beat your fellow mexican barerra? people in england dont have a clue who maidana is, whereas we do know who malignaggi is, so its also a much easier sell to the ppv audience in england. plus malignaggi knows how to sell a fight. it is also frustrating that you are running down malignaggi when the guy is a beautiful boxer. he has no power but he has an abundance of other skills and is a perfectly legitimate opponent for khan that makes far more sense than maidana at this moment in time. and how is it khan's fault that golden boy wanted to pay khan more than marquez? your point doesnt make a blind bit of sense.

maidana hits harder. doesn't necessarily mean he's better. malignaggi has been a top 10 fighter at 140 for a long , long time. he's been in there with guys like hatton and cotto. him beating the former 3-belt titleholder at 135 in juan diaz is a better win than beating a young prospect in ortiz. though ortiz is very good. (we all know ortiz gave that one away. he could have won easily with the right game plan) Malinaggi is top 6 in the division right now sure... But let's really look at what he has done recently. He looked plain horrendous against Lovemore... got absolutely smashed by Hatton and split 2 fights with Diaz. Now, all of those three are good fighters but if you want my opinion Maidana blasts them all inside the distance (I think he would have knocked Hatton out who was hurt badly twice by Lazcano) Some people really can't get past Maidana's technique and give him credit. I'm telling you though, he is fast, has a good chin, throws all kinds of punches and has an awesome heart. The loss to Kotelnik is no issue for me as it was a decision in Germany. Anyone who thinks Khan could outbox Maidana for 12 rounds is absolutely tripping. Maidana I would actually say has skills on par with Khan, except his doesn't have his speed. People might give me shit for that but to be honest: Where is Khan's inside game? Where is his defense past making a little shell with his gloves? Where is his apparently awesome power? I'm not even going to mention his chin. Maidana does everything as good as Khan apart from take a punch and give a punch which he does better. Khan is faster though. As for the Maidana Maliganggi fight... Paulie is easy to hit. Diaz was using his head as a speed ball in the first fight in some rounds. Paulie's a tough dude but at this stage in his career he's not going to take Maidana's shots for long... he punches harder than 140 Cotto and Hatton. Plus, you think Paulie can keep Maidana away for 12? Nope.

Khan UDs Maidana.

1. more money 2. bigger fight 3. more exposure how can you criticize the kid? he's what 22? he just won his belt last year. you feel me? i feel you and your 100 percent right,i like khan and im a fan not a fanatic,the boy got sparked and he done something about,he trains at a top gym with great sparring partners with a top coach,he left his family and country to achive a goal and goodluck to him,he only 22 and he starting to fight good competition,you know i rate you as a poster because you hit people with hardcore facts

Paulie has a granite chin it will 100's khans Hooks which took Salita out to get paulie out :) WAR PAULIE

not really a fan. i use to make fun of him too because at the time he was fighting at 135 and warren was feeding him 40 yr. old featherweights. that said , the kid has some skills. yeah he got ktfo by prescott but look at what he did. he got himself a top trainer and came back with a win against a top 5 title holder. he is now fighting another top 5 fighter in his division. whether you think paulie is not dangerous or not. he's still a top 5-10 fighter at 140. not bad for a 22 yr. old kid. Paulie is ranked number seven on boxrec. He's not a top 5 JWW. I think it's just sketchy how promoters are planning this kids career out. I mean he had a mandatory against Maidana which would've been his US debut but he decided to take on Paulie featherfist Falignaggi instead. The fight was made just so Khan could shine in his US debut. I don't like Freddy and Arum just creating this kids career so he can just end up like Ricky Hatton when he steps up to good competition like a top 3 JWW. He beat kotelink for the worst belt in the division and hasn't really fought anyone yet for him to be demanding so much money and praise. Golden Boy wanted to give Khan a million and Marquez 500K for their fight. WTF? He's already thinking he's a diva.

Malignaggi is not better than Maidana. Maidana would hurt Paulie. :haha::haha::haha: you sir, are an idiot!

I did not know you were a Con fan tua. you know when tua wants to fuk a thread over he does,he just stating the facts and they are all true

Malignaggi is not better than Maidana. Maidana would hurt Paulie. are you having a laugh or something,paulie is a very good boxer who has boxed at a higher level then madiana,stop talking shit

paulie got dominated and outboxed by ricky hatton. khan knows that he cant go 12 rounds without getting hit

1. malignaggi is a bigger name and more well known. 2. malignaggi is bigger money hence why the fight is in new york. 3. malignaggi is a better fighter and ranked higher than maidana. only an idiot would take a maidana fight over a malignaggi fight. everyone talks crap about the sanctioning bodies being crooked and their paper belts. then they want to say people ducked their mandatories for the same paper belt and same crooked organization. LMAO :lol1: Malignaggi is not better than Maidana. Maidana would hurt Paulie.

I did not know you were a Con fan tua.
