Maidana has improved a lot since. Hes straightened out his punches, tightened his defense, throws in combinations, his conditioning has improved whilst Khan has declined.
The Khan I seen fight Diaz was the worse ever and it wasn't all Diaz's doing. I fail to see that version beat anyone of note at welter.
I'd back him to beat Alexander but whether he would or not.
He'd also beat Leonard Bundu.
Soto Karrass should be the test he is taking. Because if Khan can't win that - it is probably not too worth carrying on because he wont be able to compete at world level at 147. Khan would have so many advantages in that fight but if he could be undone by a guy with an iron will and the ability to go 12 and ordinary punching power and fairly rudimentary punch arsenal he would be done. All the other fighters at 147 have a bit more. Bar Paulie who is obviously ideal for Khan as he is not a puncher.
I am a Khan fight fan and outside of being pleased for the bloke because he could make loads of money - but that's it.
He'll at this point in his career. Now seeing his a better dancer than fighter. I wouldn't be surprised if Paulie or Timmy ko khan. Paulie seems to to stepped it up a notch at the weight. Khan needs to be fighting the likes of Ortiz Berto those guys. And I wouldn't be surprised if they beat him. You'll see.. Khan is waaaay over rated. Always has been always will be.
Sure Mayweather is going to be the favorite against anyone he fights at ww but what about Khan? He'll be the favorite against all belt-holders in the division right now, apart from Mayweather...
WBO Belt: Bradley ducked Khan at 140, he probably duck him again at 147 lets face it. But if the fight happens theres no way Bradley could beat Khan after what the slow Provodnikov did to him.. And then look what a fast fighter like Pacquiao did - he basically dominated Bradley for most of that fight.. Bradley dont have enough power to hurt Khan and that means Khan will out-speed him and beat him down fairly easy.
IBF Belt: Porter beat down Alexander but he got a draw with Julio Diaz first time they fought which means he approx same level as Diaz. Khan beat Diaz so no doubt he beats Porter pretty easy too.
WBA Belt: Maidana was already beat down by Khan so we can safely assume that Khan is superior to the current WBA champion at this point already since he already beat that man down and almost made him quit boxing..
And the rest of the belts are Mayweather's = The only man who has a chance at 147 against Khan..
The worst triangle teories ever. Khan has never fought at 147 so there is no telling how he is going to do.
