Comments Thread For: Khan: I Don't Need Hatton, I Want To Shut Maidana Up!

[Kjryan]

I give credit, but Hatton stopped him earlier and was on the verge of a legit KO in the round it was stopped in against a fresher PM. Kahn never hurt Paulie as far as I could tell.

good point, hatton had paulie pretty much dropped but he fell forward in 2 him and held

He can talk all the **** he wants, but he better back it up.

Kahn should learn some manners and respect guys like Hatton who have fought the best in the world while he was still in the amatuers with headgear to protect that china. Kahn is a joke to me. He gets sparked by a nobody in his 19th fight but feels he has the right to talk crap about Hatton? Ricky brought more Brits across the pond than Mike Tyson brought Americans over seas. I just don't want to hear it. F'n ridiculous.

Ricky in his prime would have mollested Kahn and drank a Guiness afterwards in the dressing room.

The Tszyu that Hatton beat up would have sparked Kahn easy. I just don't got time for this.

I truly hope Hatton comes back and dedicates himself to teaching Amir a lesson. Similar to what Prescott did.

A Hatton liver shot would make Kahn retire.

Read the article you twat.

What and you think Maidana is gonna beat Khan over 12 rounds, do you?

I give Khan credit for wanting to fight the best guys, but it ain't going to happen any time in the near future. GBP are not ******, they know Khan has a weak chin and will never match him with the top guys at 140. They want to make their money before he gets sparked again. Maidana is crude, but has big punching power. Amir would probably out-box him, But if Maidana landed one of his bombs it would be lights out all over again. No way will GBP risk it. Watch and see.

you're absolutely right! calling Maidana out is easy, especailly after a 'big' win over a 'master boxer' Paulie. let's not forget darchinyan calling out donaire for a rematch but look waht happens to that one? nothing. i see the same picture in the possible Khan-Maidana fight!

Kahn is a less talented Terry Norris.

Title is kinda misleading (as usual).

I like this talk from Amir, he genuinely seems bothered by the criticism of him "ducking" Maidana and wants to address the issue. I dont see any way Maidana will be his opponent for July. First of all, Maidana is injured and its also too soon to prepare for a fight of that magnitude. I hope he fights Prescott.

So do I. You can say whatever the hell you want, as long as you're prepared to back it up.

I also liked Khan's respectful comments toward Mitchell.

The kid is growing on me, as I've noticed he has with others also

He needs to actually take this fight though, he's called out pretty much everyone at 140 in the last week or so.

hatton was once quoted as saying that "amir khan is a promoters wet dream" so i think he being genuine in saying hed like to promote khan.

khan will beat maidana and if he does then as far as im concerned he will beat devon an timothy.. its the simple fact that khan is bigger, faster, stronger and the better boxer of all of these 140 pounders, the only problem is the question mark on the chin but if the chin holds up against maidana then all these guys are in trouble because give khan a chin and you have the next arrival of the future pound for pound number 1.

since at 140 hes been fully tagged by kotelnik which had no effect on him, he was fully tagged twice by barrera with no effect also. and make what you want of it but malignaggi had juan diaz hurt yet when he tagged khan it had no effect again?

im not for any moment saying any of the above are super punchers but maybe his chin has slightly improved at 140. khan was hurt by limmond at light weight and all the above punch harder then limmond yet khan hasnt hit the deck or been rattled since at 140.

time will tell but props for proving the haters wrong and calling out maidana.

When discussing prospective match-ups, you just cannot compare Maidana with either Alexander or Bradley. Khan will have MANY more chances against Maidana than he will have against both Timmy and Devon.

I take your point about Maidana being the chin-check test, but those other guys bring much more to the table than Maidana does.

No home-town decision required bro.

Maidana only has a punchers chance, if this goes 12 rounds..... then Khan wins easy.
