What do you think.. Has Maidana proved himself as yet to be a worthy enough person for Khan to consider for a rematch in 2014 or does he still need some more solid wins under his belt before Khan might generously offer Maidana yet another shot?
Khan clearly won the first fight outright, dropping Maidana and stunning him several times. After the fight in fact, Maidana seriously considered retirement upon realizing that he had been soundly beaten by a superior opponent. There were no excuses which could soften the blow of that defeat. He was simply beaten by a better fighter.
But has Maidana yet proven himself worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as a boxer of Khan's caliber or does he still have a whole lot to prove before that was to ever happen?
since their fight, amir khan: 4-2 (KO'd once) and only somewhat impressive victory was against an unmotivated judah
When I see something like this I just have to question how much you actually know about boxing.
Judah unmotivated? He was in ridiculous shape for the fight, had a long camp with Pernell Whitaker and said he was learning new things, had surprises for Khan etc but just came up against the better man on the night.
I could say Broner was unmotivated vs Maidana as well.
Yeah he was afraid of Alexander, so he chose to fight a lesser opponent in Mayweather.
He passed on a fight that he could have potentially lost in order to position himself for a far more lucrative fight - one that he and everybody else knows he doesn't have a hope in hell of winning.
It seems weird that someone who always criticises Tim Bradley for avoiding Khan a couple of years back would turn around and defend Khan for doing the exact same thing.
