Instead of facing hard-hitting mandatory Marcos Maidana, Amir Khan was decided to duck his mandatory to fight an opponent he sees as more easily beatable. Problem is that, much like with the Prescott fight and with his announcement of a desire to fight Mayweather, Amir Khan is so far out of touch with reality that he fails to see the facts of the matter.
The facts are simple.
1) You don't need to hit Amir Khan hard to hurt him, just hit him clean.
2) Maidana is a limited boxer, JMM is a great boxer
3) Khan has never faced anyone remotely close to JMM skill wise
Khan has adopted the a new style, much like David Haye, that consists of running around the ring like a raging ****. That style would be great for someone like Maidana who would get very frustrated and start throwing any semblance of a fight plan out of the window.
JMM on the other hand will be well aware of what Khan intends to do and will be well prepared for it come fight night. Khan will likely be able to win the early rounds based of his size and speed advantages but the difference between JMM and Maidana is patience.
JMM will be disciplined knowing that sooner or later Khan will think he is having an easy night and he will slip up. When Khan does JMM will hit him with a countershot that he doesn't see and it will be goodnight Sweet Price for Amir Khan't. Unlike so many of the chumps that have dropped Khan before JMM is too damn good to let him off the hook once he hurts him.
Horrible choice by Khan, his manager and promotor. Instead of facing a crude fighter who would have trouble landing a decisive blow they are gonna go in with one of the top counterpunchers of this generation. All it takes is one good punch to beat Khan and JMM is way too good not to land it during a 36 minute fight.
