    Neither Khan or Maidana will become journeyman after this fight. Too harsh on guys that are fighting the best in their division

      The man has earned respect from many quarters since the Prescott match and if he getsd KO'ed his reps gonna go back to that time.

      More reason why I think he'll win by hook or crook.

        Khan will never be a journeyman, he's rich and famous enough already that he's set for life.

        If he loses we will have to abandon hope of him ever really doing his hype justice, but he can still offer problems to a certain type of fighter, i.e. those that don't have much pop or of a defensive disposition.

          Boxing old timers will be rolling in their graves. It wasn't long ago that the greatest fighters of their day (and any other) were walking around with seven or eight losses under their belts. Now all that matters is the '0'.

          A childish obsession which is indicative of a complete misunderstanding of the sport.

            Those fighters were warriors unlike alot of figthers today, they would fight every month and sometimes less than that. I actually respect alot of the old timers since they fought like every month compared to the inactivity of fighters today. The ones back than you could look past the losses because of that fact, but today fighters fight sometimes only once or twice a year.

              Amir would not be journeyman status if he loses but he would end up fighting plenty of them as he rebuilds his career.

                  khan has to get knocked out at least 2-3 more times to become a journeyman. he'll be like audley.

                      Would you consider Victor Ortiz a journeyman? He was stopped by Maidana...
