Only chance Maidana has is weathering the early storm and taking this to the later rounds where Amir will be a little slower. Maybe he can land a punch then.

When has Khan ever been hurt to the body?
You must be using selective memory because Khan takes body shots well, it's Maidana who doesn't seem to take body shots well. His chin is still shaky, except for the Malignaggi fight, he does not react well to clean head shots.
Khan's defense is tight though, Malignaggi, Kotelnik, and Barrera found it Hard to hit him and were only able to catch him clean with a rare counter punch every 2 or 3 rounds. Maidana isn't just some crude puncher, he has good countering ability, but the 3 opponents mentioned are even better and slightly faster and were seldom able to catch him. If Maidana catches Khan with a clean counter, he hurts him, but it'll take more to finish him off.
Khan will find it hard to miss the jab and if he puts some shtos to the body, Maidana will be out of there in 8.
if anything will make khan crumble it will be the pressure and the power of maidana's punches
malignaggi we know isn't a big puncher kotelnik is slow and pretty basic and barrera is a boxer puncher but he was fighting way above his prime weight and his prime days and it ended with a headbutt to boot
Maidana has fought some good fighters on his way up Khan has been matched well
i think khan's skills will be too much for maidana but to say he won't be successfull based off how what happened in the other fights i think is a mistakeComment

if khan does open up and try and knock maidana out he may also have an opportunity to hit khan with something significant
ortiz is a good boxer aswell and maidana dragged him into his in kind of fight i think khan and roach are too smart for that however amir is a fighter at heart if he gets hurt he is going to have to resort to just fighting and thats what maidana has to do to win i thinkComment

to be fair those opponents you named all have very different styles to maidana
if anything will make khan crumble it will be the pressure and the power of maidana's punches
malignaggi we know isn't a big puncher kotelnik is slow and pretty basic and barrera is a boxer puncher but he was fighting way above his prime weight and his prime days and it ended with a headbutt to boot
Maidana has fought some good fighters on his way up Khan has been matched well
i think khan's skills will be too much for maidana but to say he won't be successfull based off how what happened in the other fights i think is a mistake
All the excuses you posed to discredit Khan's opposition is all good, but fact remains that hey are better counter punchers than Maidana and they rarely were able to catch Khan clean, despite being faster and better counter punchers.
That last paragraph was just terrible man, just terrible. How do bookies set betting lines? How do you make a prediction if you don't take into account what they did in past fights? Should a decision be based on how he hits the mitts? How tall he is?Comment
