khan is a goof, talking **** now that maidana is retired but would not even dream of giving him a rematch
it was a classic and it was a close fight with a bit of bad reffing, then with maidanas improvement, definately warranted a rematch
Nah the Maidana that fought Khan/Ortiz/Alexander was very raw, got gassed and didn't know what the word jab meant.
that chino was on par with provo, tough but raw and gassed rather quickly, he vastly improved with garcia and a better strength and conditioning coach
Khan would have beat mayweather, as crazy as that sounds. He won the public polls ,yet little floyd chose maidonna thinking he was the easier fight. He was wrong and lost the first fight unoficially, bet he regrets that down the road when hes stuttering and sounding like his dad.
I think if Floyd chose Khan over Maidana at that moment in time then Khan would have stood a good chance at beating Floyd with his bumrush style...He would have had to remember what got him to where he was though and not fully maintain the Hunter flat footed style as Floyd would have exploited off it. People laugh at it because yes Floyd is a significantly better fighter...but styles make fights.

And just look where their careers ended up since that fight. Since Khan vs Madiana:
Khan:
Has Been Iced like 3 times?
Best win since maidana is zab judah
Begs and cries for a floyd/manny payday gets REJECTED
Maidana:
Beats undefeated adrien broner
Fights floyd TWICE giving him one of the toughest fights of his career
Becomes a HERO in argentina
Retires with millions
well maybe because all Khan was doing was talking and not fighting anyone worth a damn
Khan blew his one and only chance when he pulled out of the Alexander fight.
Idk, Khan was the one who always begged for the Mayweather fight, and yet it was Chino who got two of them.

Yeah at the time I wanted to see that fight just to see Floyd up against a different look, but in hindsight that win wouldn't have meant a great deal considering Khan is viewed as one of the biggest jokes in boxing.
Don't agree the version Khan fought was just as good.
Khan was utilizing his movement very well and picking him off with rangey combos and he only really started to struggle when he (Khan) started to tire.

was khans best win, but maidana under garcia would have knocked him out, no doubt about it. Usually think the effect of a trainer on an estabilished fighter is exaggerated, but chino was a lot better with him

Is that why he fought him the first time when not many people wanted to fight Maidana?
He took the boogeyman fight which people wanted to see him take because we (including me at the time) wanted to see the guy sparked out but he came out victorious and he put on an instant classic.
