Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Want To Fight Maidana To Shut Him, People Up

[ma51f]

Khan needs to man up, its actually embarassing as a fan hearing him call out boxers every week when his team/GBP have no intentions of making those fights any time soon

amir khan is a joke he is in a division full of talent with bradley,ortiz.maidana,alexander,urango,perterson, and hbo has all of them why not fight them instead of calling out the 135lbs pound champion

I agree, it's no good talking about the top guys at 140 if you are going to fight lightweights. Khan is just making himself look ******.

lol A Mere Con is funny, what happened to the bout with Bradley, he called him out on Twitter and talked about how he was going to go to Vegas and Tell Golden Boy Promotions to make the fight and now all of a sudden it is NO MENTION Of Bradley now he is calling out Maidana...AGAIN!

Khan is not going to fight Bradley or Alexander and I have doubts that he will actually fight Maidana, he will fight the winner or JMM vs Diaz then MAYBE Katsidis

I agree with you. And I wonder why Kahn thinks if Marquez has an impressive fight that Juan will think any differently then he did when they tried "negotiating" the first time. Marquez wasn't giving in to their crap the first time, if he has an impressive fight now he is more likely to demand more than Kahn was willing to give the first time.

Khan is going about this in a totally pussified way. Instead of giving his promoters - the guys who work for him - a list of names he'd like to fight, he should give them one or 2 names he demands to fight (in this case, Maidana or Bradley).

He sounds like an indecisive little mouse, squeaking every so often at the thought of more cheese (money).

Besides the fact that Kahns "list" didn't even appear to contain either Bradley (who Kahn says he will K.O. and just had a Twitter fight with a fake Bradley) or Alexander... he has officially let everyone know who the real boss is - Schaeffer. GBP has gotten themselves in to the same predicament that Arum has with Manny, on a lesser scale. They gave Kahn a guaranteed purse so high that they can't afford to have him in with an "iffy" money opponent. So the pattern begins of promoters putting in their high paid fighters against opponents that will net them more profit and not who the fans believe is a bigger threat. The only reason they are even waiting to officially announce Marquez as Kahns next opponent (IMO) is because they need to see if Juan can still bring in the fans $$$$ support. I'm betting if Marquez/Diaz has poor PPV #'s they may have a change of heart in Kahns next opponent. I say the only way the fans have any say anymore is by not buying the PPVs. Not that the fighters aren't worth watching (because as legit boxing fans we want to watch), but because the Promoters could care less who the fans want to see them fight against. They are banking on the fans paying for the fighter and not neccessarily the fight itself.

Las Vegas - WBA junior welterweight Amir Khan (23-1, 17 knockouts) will be ringside at the Mandalay Bay to watch the pay-per-view rematch between WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KOs) and challenger Juan Diaz (35-3, 17 KOs). Marquez is the leading contender to become Khan's next opponent. HBO has set aside December 11 for Khan's next fight. [Click Here To Read More]

I like Khan, but his press releases and tweets remind me more of Charlie Zelenoff's trash talking than any other fighter.

[ShoulderRoll]

Khan talks about fighting everyone but that's all it is, just talk.

[LeadUppercut]

Actually I`m rather a Maidana fan and a Khan hater... And Maidana is not a pressure-type fighter, he is a puncher. And Khan used to be a pressure-type fighter, but since that type of fighting exposed his weak chin, he is now trying to change his style somehow...

I know that until Roach rebuilds Khan into a counter-puncher/runner Maidana will be the highest-risk opponent for him... That is why I`m saying that I`d give props to Khan if he stepped in the same ring with Marcos any time soon...

I see your point, but at this stage of his career, Khan should have the skills to keep Maidana off him and win a handy decision. But Bradley would drag Khan into deep water, and present him with a whole new set of problems that he has not encountered as yet.

Amir needs to wait, he still has some work to do before he can call out Bradley.

[Skills_Vs_Pills]

I will give him props the second when he steps in the same ring with Marcos...

Don't hold your breath on that fight happening anytime soon, IF EVER.

Con is just posturing saying he wants a Maidana fight when we all know his chin won't be able to withstand a punch from El Chino.

He'll pick a fight with a lightweight instead.

PATHETIC!!!!

[Hard Boiled]

Its not Khans fault that Maidana faked a back injury and talked himself out of a Bradley/Khan fight, Every Hispanic must condemn and renounce Maidana as the Messiah and expose him for the false prophet that Maidana truely is!

Everyone Knows Maidana ducked Bradley/Khan for $! As such he has lost all credibility as a boxer and must be universally denounced as the money grabbing hispanic that he really is!
