why not Khan Vs Maidana in April ?

April is way too soon. After that war in December, don't you think Khan deserves a softer touch before fighting Bradley later in the year? I am not a huge Khan supporter (nor hater) but an objective observer who thinks April is way too soon for another fight of that brutality, for either guy for that matter. I believe Maidana when he says he fight Khan tomorrow in Khan's backyard but there are so many other good fights available out there for both guys, let this one brew a little bit. There are so many good fights to be made at 140 lbs now and I don't think this one needs to happen so quickly (like the Barrera vs. Morales trilogy or Corrales vs. Castillo fights)...

I can see your logic in your post, but this goes to the heart, or lack thereof, of Khan. Khan talks an awful lot about being the best at 140 lbs. To be the best you have to have heart. All of the all time greats have lost and avenged those loses. I can't recall any of them that boast as much as Khan yet avoids the person who he lost to (Prescott) and the person who he almost lost to (Maidana). Khan won't fight him again. At least not now.

If he is going to keep claiming that he is the best then he should want to prove that his mishap and his near mishap was a fluke. He should want to prove that he is as dominant as he says he is. He has no heart.

He reminds of De la hoya after he was given a gift against Sweet Pea. Oscar wanted no parts of Pernel after that, but he was quick to give a faded Chavez a rematch.

I think Khan is an a level fighter who will not be able to beat A+ fighters. Just like Oscar.

If Khan holds his left hand up and walks to his right, Maidana won't land. That punch was a score changing punch, more evident than the Maidana body shot.



Believe me, Maidana inside was hurting more than Khan. His liver and his career was shortened from all of those head blows.

That being said, it would be a great rematch if Khan beats Bradley. People would buy it!
