How do you think Khan does against Porter or Thurman?
Thurmann knocks him out IMO, or Khan knocks Thurmann out, that fights not going 12...Thurmanns chin has a few questions marks IMO...and Khan has more than enough power to hrt him, if he can land clean in the early rounds, the longer that fight goes i'd favor Thurmann as Khan gasses by round 5. I'd love to see that fight
Porter i dont know....50/50..most likely a UD, if Khan fights smart, and uses his distance, like last night, he could give Porter problems, if he tries to brawl, it wud be lights out
Why should Khan rematch Maidana at this point? Khan needs another fight no doubt, but it should be vs the winner of Brook/Porter as a win will get him a belt, which solidifies his position even further for a Floyd fight. Maidana fight would be exciting, but no point.
indeed....
One thing Khan fans don't want to talk about is how easily Thurman took Diaz out in 3 rounds last weekend. The same Diaz that floored Khan and damn near outpointed Khan in England just 13 months ago.
The same Diaz that arguably beat Porter in their first fight, so what?

Nice triangle theory. Let me try it, too.
Devon shut Maidana out. The same Maidana Floyd struggled with.
Devon >>> Floyd, right?

Khan's grab, clinch and lean style is not only ugly but illegal and it's cost him points just as his extreme amount of pushing has. He gets away with it in England but he doesn't always get away with it in Las Vegas.
Floyd fans shart scared of Khan
If Maidana slowbo can win 4 rounds against Floyd
Khan will win all 12
Maidana was having success with shots to the body, which is Khans most devastating area to punch
Khan not only hits hard to the body, he also hits very fast, Floyd wont see them coming, if he cudnt see Maidana comingKhan finally looked good in a fight with a very average fighter and you say he wins all 12 rounds in a fight with Mayweather. This is the same Khan that just barely outpointed unranked Diaz in England 13 months ago and before that was KOed in 4 rounds. This is the same Khan that was outboxed and lost on points to Peterson, a guy who lost every round to Bradley. Some UK fans are so desparate to have more good fighters from England that they take a decent but flawed Khan and try to turn him into an invincible monster that he isn't and never was and never will be. Maidana has improved enough to knock Khan out which he might have done in the first fight with a fair referee. Mayweather would outbox Khan and knock him out with straight right hands in my opinion.
Erm... TS, you are aware of the fact that Khan WON against Maidana, right?
If avenging his LOSS to Khan wasn't a prerequisite for Maidana to get the Floyd fight, why would it be a prerequisite for Khan to repeat his WIN against Maidana?
Maidana did better than Collazo against Khan already.
I do believe styles make fights. just because; khan looked better with collazo. you shouldn't discredit his boxing against maidana, he did if you remember score a knockout, which maidana did not do regardless of the turn of events in the 10th round.
You have to remember after khans recent performance he has proved he has the ability to stay on the outside and outbox alot better than before. If he sticks to what he does best i believe he could win against maidana more decisively than last time.
but i supose in boxing anything can happen. but from the last performances its safe to make the prediction i make.
Ok so you think Khan will win even more decisively this time ... can't agree.
i think khans grab, clinch, lean style makes it even harder for maidana to win
we saw how devon smothered maidana work for 12 rounds, and had him contemplate retirement
khan isnt throwin 20 punch flurries anymore, which makes it difficult to get a shot off on him, stick and move, clicnh and lean, jab jab, right, hooks to the body, move move move
madiana will have the same problems only this time around he might get floored for good, khans bodyshots look even more desvestaing now, maidana gasses after 5 rounds, we saw it again last night against a guy who simply pot shots.
unlike floyd khan would not stand in the cenetre of the ring and trade like floyd, he'd hit a fast hand right and start moving in cricles
ur right he is no maidana
he is a tricky southpaw who nobody looks good against, even when they beat him, but heee is khan looking spectacular against him and laying him down 3 times
hatton, mosely, berto all said he is hard to handle and described him as an animal
yet khan after a 12 month lay off, with 60% of people saying he was going to get KO'd, instead he outboxed collazo for 12 rounds and break him down to little bits

He looked better than recent fights but Collazo is no Maidana.

Your right, but you seem to talk from a point forgetting what khan did to maidana previously.
If khans sticks to boxing it would be the same result as before and or possibly a Ko for him if he attacks the body.
10 of 12? No - was closer than that and are you denying Khan has regressed since then?
The only round which i recall maidana having success is in the 10th.
Did you watch the fight last night?

Should Khan rematch maidana first before he gets to floyd? | BoxingScene Community
