    Marcos Maidana vs Amir Khan

    who would win and how?

    my prediction is a first round KO by maidana.

    he is going to surprise khan right from the opening bell, just like he surprised victor ortiz in the last round of their fight.

    faster than presscott?

    that would be an amazing achievement.


    also let me tell you something very strange:

    at the maidana vs ortiz fight I saw de la hoya and mosley sitting next to each other at ringside. and guess what.... right behind them was freddie roach and amir khan sitting

    Also it was reported that before the salita fight mosley and de la hoya deliberately went to the wild card gym to watch khan spar.

    I believe roach and khan have been stalking maidana since his match in summer of 2009!!!!

    My main man would decapitate Khan.

    I don't know about the 1st round cuz' Khan has good legs, but Marcos would end up catching him and destroying him.

    I predict a severe beatdown.

    Khan doesn't want none.

      Are you sure youre not an alt? If you are just now watching Floyd for the 1st time then you couldnt know but so much about all these other guys. If you are genuinely just new though then welcome. Its always great to add more fans back to the sport. If you are new then go back to that Floyd thread you made and watch those vids I posted

        IDK, it could be a Cotto type thing as to where he's been severly weight drained and now can take a much better punch. I also think his confidence is through the roof right now with his recent wins, being trained by Roach, and sparring with Pac. I would pick him over Maidena. I mean, its not like he just blew through Ortiz. His ass was getting rocked too but I cut him some slack since Victor is a Southpaw

                I went with Amir, I know his chin is suspect as hell but I think Roach knows what hes doing with him. As soon as Amir came to Roaches camp the first thing he did was make him loose upper body weight and gain more weight in his legs.

                He's also at a higher weight which means hes less drained.

                I still think his chin is bad but just not as bad as we all think. People also forget Ortiz knocked Maidana down a bunch of times and it looked like he was on his way to a win. I think Kahns speed and movement will be to much for Maidana.

                I know one thing I'm excited to see this fight.

                  This fight is NOT going to happen. Maidana has just ruined Ortiz and Golden Boy's plans for him they are not going to allow the same thing to happen to Khan after just signing him.

                    this is a closer fight than some people think my intial thoughts are to say that maidana wins this by KO. he is heavy handed, a little crude sometimes but he has a ton of heart and knows that a title would land him some very big fights vs some very big names. also i know how vulnerable khans chin is, any guy with a punch can bring the baby giraffe out.

                    but theres a reason why khans people made the fight, they must see something (i.e. a weakness) in maidana that they feel they can expose. that something is that maidana himself is not very sturdy, think about it they could have gone after urango but that guy has a chin. he was dropped himself a few times by victor ortiz whos fast hands and combinations gave the tough argentine problems.

                    i think khans people see that this is the best opportunity to show the doubters that khan can climb in there with a puncher and come out with a W.

                    had khan been in there with a real tough LWW, (i.e. urango) i would say that urango would get the KO but imo maidan won't last 12 rounds with khan. roach will have developed a sound gameplan and is khan is as patient, smart and as quick as he has shown he can be then he should soften maidan up by round 6/7 and blast him out before the 10th.
