I
I think Khan is a brilliant boxer. He also has a brilliant trainer. In addition to a crafty physical trainer (Ariza). All that said, I just think that Maidana is a little too rough for Khan. When Maidana fought Victor Cayo (even though Cayo is very un-orthodox) I saw a man physically much smaller, and athletically less gifted pummel him. Maidana systematically broke him down. When they fought on the inside Maidana was nailing him behind the head, punching his hips, and so forth. Cayo may be raw but he is also trained by a world-class trainer (Gabriel Sarmiento). The fight looked like a kid who is a star-athlete in his town who picked a fight with a runt from the wrong side of the tracks. That's the way I see Maidana, as a guy who wins not because of his talent, but because of his tenacity, and hardness. I could be wrong, Khan could go in there, stick-and-move, and totally outclass him. Ultimately I think that Khan is just too soft for a guy like Maidana.
