Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Khan-Maidana Depends on Marquez-Diaz Result

[Laborer]

Man I can't wait for all these fights to play out. Maidana-Khan is a great fight on paper because even though Khan is fast and technically skilled, he's still yet to display it against a good power-puncher like Maidana. Bradley-Alexander would be a fantastic follow-up fight n January. Put the winners and the losers against each other and you've just started what might be the first round of a light-welterweight Super Six-style tournament. I'm also excited for Marquez-Diaz just because the first fight was so good and both fighters are fight-to-the-end guys, even if they're losing badly. If Marquez wins, it'd be nice to see him get in on the light welterweight action, and maybe see Berto fight at the weight too. If it's Diaz and if the fight's good, why not see a trilogy? Boxing's going to be booming this year.

khan-maidana looks good in paper. wait, it looks too good, which is why we are likely to be disappointed when Roach finds a different opponent for Khan, someone who is less likely to knockout him out cold.

Would be a great fight. Though Khan wins this by either TKO 7 or wide UD.

They might be afraid of the punchers chance. Though Khan can kill Maidana's weak chin also.

No way is Golden Boy going to put Khan in with Maidana. They are putting up smoke screens by saying thats the fight they want. In reality they will duck him just like last time. Expect either Khan vs Marquez/Diaz/Katsidis for the fall
Maidana is a beast and could ruin Khans career. (Imagine another 1st Rd KO!)

Wrong. Maidana actually has a strong chin. He gets knocked down because he has balance problems but hes never hurt. Watch his past fights, he gets knocked down but he pops right up. No way could Khan hurt him

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KOs), and his trainer Freddie Roach, have pushed for a fight with WBA interim belt holder Marcos Maidana (28-1, 27KOs). For the last few months, the tough Argentinian has been dealing with managerial issues. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says Maidana is ready to return, with a "stay-sharp fight" being targeted for August. Khan returns on December 11 in either Las Vegas or England.

I hope Marquez stays at 135 him and Katsidis would be a great war I would hate for him to go up to 140 because that division is just stacked with young talent

Katsidis might take him at 135, but not for enough money, so it may not happen. At least not until he gets beat again by a bigger fighter for more money. In all fairness, though, Marquez isn't the only one that lusts for lucre, managers and promoters are greedy bunch.

Khan might not need to hurt Maidana to stop him. All it would take would be a couple of flash knockdowns followed by an unanswered flurry for the referee to jump in. Not saying it's right, but it happens.
