Comments Thread For: Amir Khan May Vacate if Marcos Maidana is Pushed

[J.R]

Lucky you're not a bookmaker, if you really think that - you'd have gone bankrupt years ago!

Kessler was the favourite until he lost to Ward. Now Ward is the favourite and Abraham is the second favourite.

Kessler is still the favourite to beat Froch, although the odds have narrowed a lot since Kessler's loss.

Most people think a very green Dirrell deserved to get the decision against Froch, and Dirrell would be the favourite if they ever rematch.

And if he's hot property, why do Sky and all the other mainstream UK broadcasters refuse to touch his fights?

Most people, were very wrong.

And he isn't on Sky cos he ain't sold out Frank Warren, and his over protecting fighters.

Question:

How long can Frank Warren keep up this smoke-and-mirrors act?

Does he intend to steer Khan's whole career AWAY FROM PUNCHERS?


To me it's so blatant -- but the public seems to think that "A Mere Con" is the next Golden Boy.

If Warren can continue to fool the public then he's a master illusionist and rip-off artist.

Oh boy here we go! The guy isn't even a real champion yet and he's already ducking the big challenges. This guy is a joke. He knows that he has a glass jaw and that a beast like Maidana would whipe him out. What a clown. I cant wait till he get's exposed for the publicity hyped fraud that he is. He only fights guys he thinks he can beat. Vacated 135 to avoid Valero and now this. Wouldn't even give Barrera a rematch cuz he felt his power and knew he got away lucky w/ that cut stoppage. This guy might wins some fights here and there but once he fights a true champion he's done for...watch!

Hi mellow_mood! Yes, it's nice to discuss boxing with real fans like you.



I don't think Khan's confidence is the problem, I think the problem is Roach and Warren. Khan said recently in an interview that he wants to fight Maidana and that it would be a great fight for him, and I think he was sincere. He needs to stand up to Roach and Warren and tell them to just make the fight happen, but it's difficult for a 23 year old to do that. I'm sure that he has the guts to fight anyone in the ring, but I'm not sure if he has the assertiveness to stand up to Roach and Warren.

in honor to the truth.. it would be the dumbest move to put him right there with marcos... one thing is for sure.. is that amir brings something that marcos doesnt and that something that he brings PAY THE BILLS.

HE HAVE A BIG ADVANTAGE on that.. and his handlers are protecting their investment.

we need to get those kind of interviews down here..... Im becoming a fan of amir... and hes gonna get better with roach..... like u say.. he just cant do **** here.... its all about the promoters ... so what he needs is to open his mouth and let the world know.. even if it only ends up in ju'st talks....

because of this situation... the only one wining here is marcos.. with out even throwing a punch...


same **** happened to juanma with caballero...

but hey... thats how the game goes!!!

[Kalion]

What do al the guys who made threads this week about Khan being back on top have to say about this?

How the **** can you cliam to be able to beat any light weight in the world then duck a journeymen?

This is why I have 0 for Khan and see him as another European hype job.

I heard that Amir is pretty much his own promoter now and is doing things 50/50 with Frank Warren. So he should have just as much say in who he fights as anyone does. I know Amir's still young but he's been pro for a while now and it's really time he started stepping up, after all he is suppose to be a world champion now. He needs to fight Maidana within his next couple of fights.

Maidana Would Murder Con

Khan you believe it? I khan. Amir's a con, straight up! I can understand established fighters like Oscar, Manny and Floyd wanting the big money fights. But fake tough guys like Haye and Con haven't paid their dues, yet here they are ducking dangerous fighters left and right. Pathetic

[ominslash]

Alot of ppl seem to be hating on Amir for a Maidana duck.. But the whole thing is a assumption. Lets just see what happens, wait for a good source to clear this up. Personally I'd love to this this scrap, would be a good exciting fight I think, with Amir's good boxing ability (also can see if he really has good punching power), and with Maidana being a huge puncher, you never know when that knockout could come, edge of your seat stuff heh.

Ditching a belt to avoid an opponent is the equivalent of shouting "Look over there" and running away.
