    We'll, we're already aboard the Maidana hype train so why not?

    Khan is here to stay.

    Maidana is another Prescott.

      anyway back to the topic.

      When/If Khan and Maidanna fight i will be putting a whole load of money on Khan winning by stoppage. Khan is too strong, too powerful for Maidanna. Plus moving up in weight has given him better punch resistant
      Since Khan moved up he hasn't been hit cleanly and hasn't faced anyone with power, even a win of Maidana wouldn't be that impressive. A win over Bradley, Hatton, Malignaggi, Campbell and i will start to believe the hype. Until then he's unproven and overrated.

        People forget that Maidana also has a terrible chin. Plus he has no defence.

        While Khan doesn't have a good chin, he now has a good defence, and great lateral movement to back up his chin deficiencies. This is a fight where both guys have poor chins, but one has the better defence, better speed, and better skills.

        I have to go with Khan by KO before 5. He is going to have too much speed and skill for Maidana. The only way Maidana wins is if he catches Khan cold.

          oh please "even a win of Maidanna wouldn't be that impressive"!!!

          coming up with excuses already when Khan KO's him??


          you sir are clearly a Khan hater, nothing he will ever do will be good enough for you. Khan will beat Hatton, Malignaggi and Campbell, only Bradly would be a real concern.

            Excuses? Maidana hasn't done anything apart from beat Ortiz. Maidana would be a step up for Khan but Maidana is still a step below World level.

              So you would agree that, as a win "wouldn't be that impressive" AND there's no money it, there is absolutely no reason for Khan to fight Maidana if he can possibly avoid it, then?

                so let me get this right, you are saying Khan shouldnt fight KO artist Maidanna because he's not world class but fight a past prime completely unhealthy Ricky Hatton and a featherfistedMalinaggi as they currently are??

                do you realise how ****** that sounds

                  If he can get a bigger fight with one of the 4 i mentioned yes.

                    Maidana has got nothing but power, Hatton and Malignaggi are still better fighters than Maidana.

                      Khan vs Malignachi would actually be a pretty good interesting fight to watch.
