"We are lining up some pretty big fights for him, including the winner of Marquez-Diaz or potentially Maidana or Michael Katsidis," Schaefer said, adding that Khan would be ringside to scout Marquez-Diaz II in advance of a fight in November or December. "These are exciting fights. That is the direction we want to go. But eventually the fights will happen."
In other words. "We're going to let Khan face easier fighters and cross our fingers that Alexander and Bradley either fight each other or lose. We can't risk Khan losing us money."
But after all Khan/Katsidis is a HUGE fight. So maybe I'm wrong.
You look at all the popular fighters of the past, they all stepped up before Khan has. He got knocked out so he deserved to be protected for a couple of years. Times up and he has a belt now. I get the Marquez fight. I want to see it. But after that if he fights Katsidis or Maidana, it'll be obvious.
I'm not talking about Maliganggi, what I'm asking you is why isn't Khan offering out Maidana for an end of the year fight when he's available? Simple.
Like i said Maidana couldn't make a July 17th bout & when Khan offered out him for the 31st July date we still thought he was injured, so why was Khan offering out Maidana when he thought he was injured?
I'll tell you, to fool people like you to thinking he isn't ducking him when reality is...HE IS!
Let me tell you a secret: Maidana is not injured, He lied and faked an injury.
Maidana can't make 31st July date because of is managerial issues, that's why Khan offered him the fight, they knew some how Maidana couldn't make it so they will look like they aren't ducking him LOL.
But he will be available to fight end of the year.
Khan's been waiting longer to fight Marquez then Maidana? Far as i know prior to the Marquez talk, Maidana was his mandatory, what happened with that, yeah Amere Con ducked him.
So Maidanas Mangerial/Fake injury is Khans problem? Basically Khan told Maidana to fake an injury so he didnt have to fight him on July 31st? And so Maidana didnt have to fight Bradley?
Khan has wanted Maidana since before Malignaggi, Nacho turned down a fight between Khan-Marquez because he thought Marquez would loose badly. So Malignaggi was offered the fight instead.
These cats think they are slick they want Alexander and Bradley to damage each other to enhance Khan's spot. Now I think Bradley and Alexander need to agree to beat every other name in their div. Then settle the question of who's number 1 between them.
What i can do is blame Khan that he doesn't want to fight Maidana at the end of the year.
Incase you didnt Know Maidana was offered a fight for July 31st against Khan but he turned it down. So they started looking at Casamayor, Then they decided to scrap the fight in July completely.
Also Maidana has been waiting a long time for a fight with Khan, Khan has been waiting an even longer time for a fight with Marquez.
Why is Marquez and Maidana ducking Khan?
Oh shit, i forgot he fought the all mighty power punchers Kotelnik, Salita & Malignaggi LOL!
Maidana's problems will be solved probably around the same time Marquez fights Diaz or probably a month after, he'll be available, GBP & Khan know it, so why aren't they waiting for him? He'll even be able to fight on the day the want Khan to fight Marquez.
I think you should replace Maidanas manager. :omfg:
Maidanas problems is Maidanas problem, He signed a deal to fight Bradley and he is still bound to that agreement.
I want to see Khan-Maidana was much as the next person, But you cant blame Khan for Maidana faking an injury and for having a retarded manager.
Do you know the reason why Maidana faked the injury? He was getting screwed by his manager.
If Amir Khan isn't willing to fight ANY 140lb'er let alone the top 140lb'ers, i think that's enough of a reason for me to assume he don't want to fight Maidana currently.
Maidana faked an injury for whatever reason, Fact is the guy is a proven liar. If he had management problems, Thats not Khans problem. Khan didnt tell Maidana to hire his manager who cant speak a word of English or write a sentence.
Khan has moved up in weight from 135lbs, Since moving up in weight ALL of his fights have been at 140lbs against 140lb fighters, Kotelnik, Salita, Malignaggi.
He has not fought a single fighter that was not a 140lber since moving up in weight. The fight with Casamayor was Goldenboys Idea, It was meant to be a stay busy fight, Its not happening.
Of course GBP are going to say that, they aren't going to admit that 1 of their prize assets is a duckers now are they.
So there is no chance whatsoever that Khan and Roach really want to fight Maidana who is a proven liar faking an injury but Richard Schaefer and the staff at Goldenboy dont want to make that fight post Ortiz-Maidana?
Of course GBP are going to say that, they aren't going to admit that 1 of their prize assets is a duckers now are they.
Well couldnt it be that Khan has signed a deal were he is guaranteed 1.5 mil per fight and if he fights one of the big boys at 140 he is going to ask for similar numbers the fights not going to make much profit for them is it.
clearly these dudes have Man Crushes on Khan, they are defending this guy for being a PUSSY within his division, I am not worried about it, Khan get exposed eventually he can't run for ever and Golden Boy won't be able to protect him forever
Amere Con was an under dog? LOL!
He was -140 favourite, get your facts straight.
When you say something (fight Maidana & Unify titles) then do the complete opposite & challenge a 37 year old light weight, what do you expect peoples opinion on Con to be currently?
I'll tell you a piece off shit, simple as that.
Maidana's managerial problems will be solved come end of the year but Con isn't whispering about him anymore, why is that? Because he wished he was still injured LOL!
That is because golden boy stated khan and roach wants maidana next but they want him to fight the winner of marquez diaz.
Mayweather said prior to the fight getting rounds under his belt was the main priority against Marquez to get rid of ring rust but Mayweather should've fought somebody else anyway.
Amir Khan how ever has been commenting on how he would want to fight Maidana, Unify the titles & then fight Floyd/Pac next year, instead he wants to fight a Marquez to do some more record paddling like he did with Barrera LOL!
Paulie was right, AMERE CON.
1. Maidana has a broken back / Faking an injury.
2. Khan needs more experience so a tough fight with Marquez that can go either way is the best way to do that, Floyd had ring rust, Khan is still partly green.
3. Khan wants to unify the titles, Golden boy doesnt want Khan to unify titles yet.
4. Barrera was not record padding at all, Khan was trying to rebuild his career following his loss, He was the under-dog in that fight and for a 21 year old to go into the ring with Barrera when he was booed so badly and had so many people shouting racist slogans and him as he entered the ring deserves credit for that win.
Marquez is getting the chance to become the first Mexican to win 4 World titles at 4 weights, Yet you say he is being used as a stepping stone? If Marquez can hold out for 12 rounds against Mayweather im sure he will be fine against Khan.
You make it sound like Marquez has no chance whatsoever in beating Khan.
are you really trying to defend a 23 year old guy trying to USE a older fighter as a stepping stone when he has other good young talented fighters in his division who are also title holders, we are going by what Con...I mean Khan said out of his own mouth, which was "He wants Maidana next" and how he doesn't plan on leaving the 140 division until he unify the titles, so basically for Khan it is either fight guys who are on the downside of their careers instead of other young fighters in his division that can potential BEAT HIM
he will NEVER get respect that way...NEVER! Eventually the writers will start calling him out for his BS, many of them are already doing it
Marquez was simply a TUNE UP for Mayweather after a 19 month absence, Khan is using Marquez as a stepping stone LOL!

The guys i want to see him fight are Maidana, Alexander, Bradley and Ortiz. But it will never happen. Khan is protected better than Fort Knox. He is the Pensioner Hunter :lol1:
What is the average age of khans last 3 opponents.
Of the light weight division?
Khan has been fighting at Light weight most of his career and moved up in weight. Floyd Mayweather fought Marquez at 147lbs up from 135, So why Cant Khan fight Marquez at 140lbs?
Marquez is good enough for Mayweather but not good enough for Khan?
Lmao too funny. Both Bradley and Alexander would shatter Khan's glass chin. That is the reason he won't fight them.
Do you wanna see Khan in with the big boys to see a (hopefully) a good fight, or do you just wanna see Khan get KTFO again?
it is amazing to me how people are defending Khan's ducking of the best fighters in his division...WOW!
but at the same time I do think King and Shaw need to do a better job promoting their talented young fighters
So do those plans not include fighting the best guys at 140?
For Goldenn boy promotions not at this point in time but thats Golden boys prerogative. Khan is already a world champion he doesnt need to unify titles, All he needs to do is make defences of his own WBA title. Beyond that, Unfication fights are upto him and his team they dont have to take unifcation fights. Also why would Khan take a unification fight for the same $1.5 million he already earns for his WBA title?
Unifcation fights dont make sense for him right now moneywise, For Bradley and Alexander it will be big money because they are on meagre wages. I remember Shaw said the winner of the tournament should get $500,000, Thats such a low ammount for Khan, He would never fight in a tournament for show a meagre ammount. Thats alot of money for Bradley and Alexander but its nothing for Khan.
I agree with this, Joell Casamayor & Michael Katsidis are bigger then a Maidana, Alexander or Bradley fight.
:tool:
Bigger names.
