This would be an exciting and interesting fight because of Maidana's improvement in his defense and combos, but I do believe Khan will still be victorious because whenever he had Alex Ariza in his corner he never got dropped once and his speed would still be too much for him. what you guys think?
BTW I KNOW BOXING!:boxing:
If both are at their best I think Maidana wins by KO. He should have won the first fight by KO but the referee was Khan's best friend and he kept breaking the fighters when they were not tied up giving Khan needed recovery time. Khan has never looked better than he did in the Maidana fight while Maidana has improved. He is training harder and comes in to the ring in better shape. He has improved his boxing skills.
Typical internet BS. I have seen way worse and more biased ref work than that.
I agree khan was given star treatment but Khan won 7 of the 12 rounds or the most a draw but not win for maidana. he got dropped which gave khan a 10-8 round which decided the fight.

This is just getting sad now. Yes he turned his head back twice but so what ppl fite dirty to buy time but stop trynna make it sound like Cortez was bought out. What about all those countless shots that did land on Khan how come he didnt even get dropped? Oh wait it was the other way around. The bell saved Maidana in Round 1 otherwise Khan too wouldve won where as Khan went through the Round 10.
How come Peterson's win on Khan is legit for some people yet they all discredit Khan's win on Maidana?

Maidana is a great fighter and he has shown it against every fighter he has fought but for some reason I still believe Khan would still be considered the favorite. Khan has many talents but he also has major flaws, which might keep him from reaching the pinnacle of the sport.
definately at the moment hell no! Maidana destroys this bum now. Not sure about the old khan vs this maidana, it would be very close. Anyways first fight was pretty close anyways, i scored 7 rounds khan with a KD and 5 for maidana but i gave the 10th 10-8 for maidana
ANY version of Khan does not beat the current (not prime because I think he is a bit past it due to the wars he has gone thru... HOWEVER I do believe this is a better more complete version of him) version of Maidana.
Maidana has improved significantly under Garcia. Robert didn't make drastic changes but he fined tuned and improved basic elements of Maidana's style. (jab, more movement, better combinations and such)
Or he's just faced opponents with favourable styles

The Khan we have seen for the last three fights gets KTFO
But who knows. I'll never argue Khan's talent, because he has talent in spades. If he can stay upright the entire fight then yeah, he can mos def win it. Big if, though. No check that -- HUGE if.
