Amir Khan vs Marcos Maidana 2 in 2014

Maidana would have won by KO in my opinion. Maidana almost KOed Khan. Between then and 2014 Maidana improved tremendously while Khan went down hill.I think Khan did his best fighting with Roach as his trainer, not Hunter. Khan almost lost to mediocre Diaz in England and struggled with Algieri. Guys the 2014 Maidana would easily knock out.

the maidana that faced broner and floyd ko's khan khans surviving that 10th round is one of life's mysteries right up there with roswell and the bermuda triangle

No doubt he improved a lot under Robert but he did land some devastating shots on Khan in that 1st fight, especially round 10. Perhaps the main difference would be Maidana would be able to set up those punches earlier in the fight with his solid jab that was non existent previously? I rewatched that 1st fight and he was so crude back then lol. Yeah I was gonna make that exact point, Maidana was really crude back in 2010, especially the way he telegraphed that right hand. I believe he’d be able to land way more consistently on Khan under Garcia which is why I believe he’d stop him. And fair point. He did take some heavy shots in round 10, but if I remember correctly Maidana was pretty spent at that point and was smothering his work by desperately throwing wild shots. (I’ve not watched it for years though so may be wrong)

We're talking in the year 2014. Maidana vs AJ 2019 though lol Now we got a fight!

If he could make super HW, yeah lol We're talking in the year 2014. Maidana vs AJ 2019 though lol

Maidana made huge strides under Garcia. I'd favor him against Khan in a rematch. If he could make super HW, yeah lol

I still have no idea how Khan didn't get knocked out that fight. That fight defied logic, one of the best fights in recent years with all the drama and shifts in momentum.

Maidana by KO, he was a much more complete fighter under Robert Garcia, he managed to land clean shots and even buzz Floyd several times who is waaaay harder to hit than Khan. And those same shots would shatter Khan’s chin No doubt he improved a lot under Robert but he did land some devastating shots on Khan in that 1st fight, especially round 10. Perhaps the main difference would be Maidana would be able to set up those punches earlier in the fight with his solid jab that was non existent previously?

Maidana vs Maidana would be amazing. :lol1: Just edited that

Maidana made huge strides under Garcia. I'd favor him against Maidana in a rematch. Maidana vs Maidana would be amazing.

Khan was very sharp against Alexander but maybe that Alexander whilst a good fighter wasn't a special talent. I liked Khan against Alexander and Collazo tbh. I find it hard to judge Khan in any sort of fantasy fight because I just see him getting dropped and stopped 10/10 times and the reality is different. We've all seen Khan hurt so many times that it is harder to look at what he does well impact what another fighter does well. Default answer is, well, he starts well then gets caught dropped and stopped.

Maidana made huge strides under Garcia. I'd favor him against Khan in a rematch.

Both had some bad moments following their first fight but were in good form again by this time, let's take the Khan that beat Collazo and Devon vs the Maidana from the Broner and Floyd fights, who you got? Maidana by KO, he was a much more complete fighter under Robert Garcia, he managed to land clean shots and even buzz Floyd several times who is waaaay harder to hit than Khan. And those same shots would shatter Khan’s chin
