Amir Khan is a lil ***** for ducking Maidana

[Dynamite Kid]

Amir Khan is a lil ***** for ducking Maidana. I heard on the radio that Roach is saying they are gonna vacate rather than face Maidana.

What a ****!

[bruzza]

Was expected. He prob fight him 10 yrs later. I see another calzaghe legacy in the making

[Doorag]

did roach say who he's fighting next?

[bojangles1987]

He better have a much more high profile fight in the works or this is a duck.

Damn this hurts me. I'm a big fan of Khan and Roach, but this choice is wrong.

yep , his team has to realize that sometimes these high risk low reward fights are sometimes neccessary in order to build reputation with more hardcore fans ,

Maidana is a bigger name than Khan everywhere but the UK. This would be the perfect opponent for Khan:

-Good name
-HBO would be chomping at the bit for this one
-Would show Khan could compete with a banger

However, it's very clear Khan is a protected lamb (he is with Roach and Warren after all) who won't face a puncher.

This is how I look at it too as far as Maidana's worth as an opponent. He has power, which would help answer the questions about Khan's chin, he KOed another big prospect in Victor Ortiz which got his name out there, and Khan has way more talent and boxing skills so he should definitely win.

Great post this.

Amir Khan said on SkySports text today that he is willing ti fight Maidana, It's Roach who said they don't want the fight. He probaly got those orders off Frank Warren.

I hope he's fighting someone who poses a threat man. seriously.
