khan should man up...

[nujabes77]

not now, let him have a few more fights before maidana.

kid wants to be the best.... then he has to face the best and not pull a chavez jr

I've read a number of people today saying Khan isn't ready for Maidana...and then I've read a number of people arguing on behalf of Khan that he is so a world class champion and should be respected.

I don't buy into this "not ready" business. If you pick up a belt you're ready. Taking the "easy route" and avoiding certain types of fighters after trying to convince people that you're the real deal and a world class champion doesn't sit very well.

we know he wont....

No we don't; can we at least wait and find out before spouting bull****?

It certainly wouldn't surprise me if he took Hatton first if that could be arranged; there's easily five times the money in it for him.

That doesn't change the usual risk/reward equation that most boxers and their promoters tend to go along with. Only the selected few, like Khan, get hammered for it. Maidana is an unknown in the UK, and Khan's best money fights - at least for a while - will be in the UK. That's why Kotelnik came here. And it's not as if Maidana's name will fill MSG , is it?

chavez jr will fight nobodys forever. khan is taking it one step at a time. he did his assignment well by beating kotelnik

its funny how u try to talk about manning up when you dont know wtf ur talking about hahahah

[jkdking]

Freddie Roach has already said he wouldn't be fighting maidana and if the WBA try to force it they will give up the belt. it was in the daily star a few days ago

No. Khan should fight Salita, Hatton, and then Maidana. He still has to improve a few things. There are still big fights, and great boxers out there who aren't huge hitters. Khan should concentrate on fighting those, and not big punchers for the moment.

hatton not a big puncher???? imo even after the pacquiao defeat hatton would KO khan, cong**** to khan tho
