Pauli Malignaggi and....

[Uklad]

(No disrespect to Maidana) I cheered for him like crazy against Broner, but he's more of a brawler than a Boxer, and his style will be ineffective against Floyd, He was schooled to death against Alexander, Khan exposed him and was even just Beaten by Kotelnik (another Khan's leftover) & (interestingly) has been floored more times than Khan considering the fact Khan was floored 3 times against Garcia just because he couldn't recover from first KD & showed a lot of Heart.

Also Khan has beaten Better opponents than Maidana.

People are blinded because they just dont like khan, discriminated as a fighter based on his outlandish statements hes made in the past.

[baya]

Because both went on to do greater things in boxing,both went on to win titles at 147 while Khan went on to get ko'd and floored 5 times in 3 fights and even managed to get floored by Julio ****ing Duaz..maybe that will help clear your vision

jesus cristo.

end thread.

Any boxing fan in his right frame of mind knows that Khan was Robbed against Peterson..He won that fight atleast by 2 points (Yes even with 2 Points Deductions against Khan,Khan won that Fight) He dropped Peterson twice and had that fight been anyone in the world but DC Khan would have come out as the Winner..(I give Khan lot of Credit for facing Peterson in his hometown although Khan was the champ that time) Also not to Mention Peterson was Juiced Up with High Levels of Testosterones Lol people keep forgetting that Khan was supposed to have a rematch with Peterson and had trained for months for that fight but that fight was cancelled cause Peterson was tested positive and then Khan signed Garcia fight in no time and wasn't really prepared for his style.. Khan is a excellent Boxer a Olympic Silver Medalist & won World Title at very young age plus an Excellent Amateur Record with a KO victory over Victor Ortiz. He is going through a tough time but I believe he'll come back Strong in his next fight.

Absolute nonsense. Peterson was never dropped by Khan for one thing, they were both slips. And are you really trying to say Khan won more rounds? When? while he was lying on the ropes getting battered? Your a Khan fan who clearly cares too much. He is not a special fighter. He has always been ordinary and will end up a gate keeper if he doesn't retire early. Get over it. His losses will never be anything less than that losses.

Marcos Maidana seem to be praised higher then Amir Khan on this board. Funny thing is he has beaten them both? And he also beat them both pretty handedly aside from 1 rough Round or so with Maidana.

Can someone explain to Me why that is? Maybe this can help you clear your vision.

Neither of them are annoying pricks doe... Paulie IS annoying, but still not a prick about it. Maidana is humble and just fights, doesn't talk. Nobody likes a loud mouth who Khan't back it up.

I see your guys points, but you also see mine.

They're all on the same playing field. Don't build a guy up when Khan already put them down.

And you guys want to judge on "the body of work"

Khan 3 losses
Maidana 3 losses.
Malignaggi 7 losses? 8 losses?

You guys really have that "what have you done for Me lately" wound up tight in your heads.

Khan is 2 and 2 in 4, yes he looked "bad" in his last 2 fights.

But you can say he should have beaten Peterson and got shafted there. Peterson is a champion. Garcia is going on to be one of the great champions of current time. And the other two fights are wins, regardless. And he destroyed Molina.

So Larry, maybe this will help clear your vision.

Malignaggi has 5 losses not 8, but he's also hitting 34 and has fought a who's who of 135-147lb'ers.. One of those losses, the Diaz one, was one of the most blatant robberies of the last 10 years!

In my opinion back-pedalling for 10 rounds doesn't constitute beating Peterson so I wouldn't say he got shafted. It's also funny how it's only khan fans who think he beat Peterson? And if you want to talk about revisionist theory, what about Cortez saving Khan in the final rounds of the Maidana fight!? But you're right he did destroy Molina, but are you trying to say that means something!?

You clearly didn't look at the Kotelnik fight did you, a lot of people felt that was Maidana's fight!

And come on if you think that. Maidana hasn't improved since the Alexander fight you're just dumb.. You say he's been knocked down more times than khan, but how many knockout defeats does Maidana have!? **** if Cortez hadn't protected Khan in the final 3 rounds of the fight I'm sure he would have been stopped by Chino!

You're right Khan has heart, combined with blinding handspeed but that's it.. He has next to no defence, poor footwork, next to no ring IQ (or any iq really judging by his interviews), has average power but thinks he hits like a mule and then we have his chin, which everybody already knows about!

My one gripe though with khan is that he comes with the most overbearing sense of entitlement, he's shown us nothing in the last 4 years and 6 fights to prove that he deserves a shot at Mayweather yet still thinks that it's his divine right! FFS the guy isn't even in the welterweight division and hasn't a world title yet feels he should be Mayweather's next opponent?

Why? Because he is a poor mans Manny Pacquiao!? Pacquiao's style may be the one that would trouble Floyd most but that don't mean khan will trouble him! Khan has a (in the most simplistic of ways) style similar to manny, but he has absolutely no substance to back that style up!

We all made are points, looks like we will agree to disagree.
