Amir Khan Vs Marcos Maidana @ 140, April 2010, who takes it???

[SoldierWarrior]

People are picking Amir Khan because Maidana was out boxed against Kotilenk, whom Khan out boxed, Maidana has a punchers chance against Khan but Khan would win the fight, wouldn't be surprised if it was by K.O.

Maidana is a decent fighter but he was getting out boxed at times against Victor Cayo.

From what I've heard that fight was close and no one really got outboxed in that fight, being outboxed is not a close fight. But from what I've heard about that fight, it was fairly close. Also, styles make fights and also the fact that fighters learn over time and get better. Maidana is probably much better then Kotilenk now. While Kotilenks career is going down the drain losing, Maidana is winning his recent fights.

Why are so many people picking Con, when its clearly obvious that Con avoided this match-up for the time-being? He wouldn't win, he didn't even have the balls to get in the ring against Maidana and defend his belt like a true champion. Instead he cherry-picked an opponent who is one of the weakest punchers in this sport.

Out boxed in some parts of the fight IMO, but your right wouldn't say he was out boxed the whole fight which was close, but a boxer like Kotilenk could find a way to disposes Maidana's power, I'm sure Khan could do it more effectively & make it more of a easier fight IMO.

I would have personally rather seen Khan vs Maidana then Con vs Paulie. Notice the difference, Khan gains respect from all of us if he takes the fights the fans want him to take. He wouldn't be Amir Con anymore if he didn't hand-pick his opponents clearly to avoid power-punchers.

I agree, he has been avoiding power punchers (& Golden Boy are protecting their investment in Khan), not because he's scared it's because he wants to be established in the U.S & another defeat would destroy that dream.

Regardless, Khan shouldn't be fighting Paulie, it should be Maidana, it was a mandatory, don't know how he escaped that.

khan will win this.
