Why Do Broner, Garcia, Judah and Malignaggi Fight Khan's Leftovers?

[thechampizhere]

I stopped reading after you said Garcia ran from a rematch but I could've sworn he beat the most dangerous puncher in the game while khan was doing the chicken dance against a shot fighter in Julio diaz

Khan cleaned out the 140 division... Everyone is Khan's leftovers

[JDezi4]

I was joking, but its not entirely false... All the names at 140 moved up, so there's no one left but people Khan fought and beat (except Garcia and Matthysse)

I think the fighters that you mentioned are the biggest names in that division at the moment, so who else are they going to fight but each other?

In regards to Garcia vs. Khan, that was no lucky punch. Most that pay attention to Danny Garcia can see that the left hook is a punch that he throws very well and he was trying to use it to counter Khan from round 1. It is the fault of Khan and his corner for not seeing it or not watching enough footage to be respectful of it.

And I do have to agree with one of the previous posters in their statement that since that fight, Danny has fought the man believed to be the most dangerous puncher and defeated him, again utilizing his counter left hook to pretty good effect.

I like Khan, but the loss to Prescott is his own fault as is any fighter who supposedly comes into a fight weight drained, whether it be Khan, Dawson, or De la Hoya. The fight starts when you sign that contract and if you are not prepared when the bell ring you've no one to blame but yourself. Also, Prescott gave Khan a lot of opportunity to avenge that loss, but Amir never accepted (I would have enjoyed seeing a rematch).

IMO Broner got whupped by Malignaggi, got away with a gift decision, now he's fighting Maidana.

Garcia landed a lucky punch on Khan, ran from the rematch and instead fought Judah, after that he fought a Judah leftover (Matthysse) going even lower down the totem pole.

Judah and Malignaggi.... well they're fighting each other!

So why are all these boxers fighting Khan leftovers? The damage was already done by Khan, those boxers might never be the same again so what's the point? Khan stopped Judah and Paulie, and he floored Maidana in the first round, then battered him for the rest of the fight.

Got whooped by Malignaggi??? U call that a whooping bro??? Smh Danny shoulda been arrested for attempted murder then for what he did to Khan.

Why do we get these threads?

Khan vs Maidana was a great fight, Khan won because of the point deduction and the KD, maidana won 5 or 6 rounds and battered Khan in the 10th. Both have each others respect but Khan has gone downhill since, especially his punch resistance which wasn't great to begin with. maidana isn't a Khan leftover like Judah and Paulie are. (he dominated those 2, while after the Maidana fight, he went to hospital)

Maidana more than likely would KO Khan at 147.

That was a great fight, Maidana had some spells of success but Khan was by far the better fighter on the night. I can't see Maidana giving Khan any trouble at 147, i suspect Khan's punch resistance will improve when he moves up again, he's weight-drained now at 140, natural growth over the past 4 years have ensured that.

This raises a very good point:

Khan did exceptionally well at light-welter before the Garcia KO loss. He beat Judah and Maidana and Paulie who are all relevant today, that is the sign of a good fighter. Khan, for all the hate he seems to receive from fans is just that, a good fighter, maybe even very good. He has beaten champions, past and present. I actually think Khan could get back into boxing fans good books if he was to fight Broner and possibly Alexander and EARN a shot at Mayweather. Both those fights are very winnable for the Bolton Whirlwind.

back when he was with roach and ariza, he had an iron chin, the perfect gameplan suited to his gifts(ambush style) he had alot of early knockouts/knockdowns and did alot of damage early back then, now with hunter and the loss of ariza he has a glass chin, and fights at a pace that will keep his opponents around longer than they should be, inflicting much less damage
