Khan is an exciting fighter. I've enjoyed almost all of his fights. But exciting and elite are 2 different things. You watch Khan fight to see him razzle and dazzle inferior opponents for about 4 rounds only to have the fight get competitive the remainder of the way. Or to watch him get sparked by a fighter of similar size who catches him flush in an exchange. That's some exciting $h!t. But hardly worthy of a Floyd fight. Which is why he'll probably get the shot eventually.
Khan not Fighting Mayweather till 2015

Compare their career's resume Maidana has always lost when he has stepped up. If you consider broner his biggest win then that a pretty ****ty resume. Khan former unified champ at 140... alexander a pillow fisted fighter made him think retirement which is pretty sad. The top names that Khan has beat Maidana will certainly lose to them all. Ortiz is a part time boxer btw.Comment

I can understand Karass and Lopez (Although many were split on that fight) but Broner definitely wans't considered a "favourable" fight for Maidana.
All Khan has to do is have some impressive victories.
The winner of the Porter-Pauli-Brook mix would be good (As long as it's not Pauli), Guererrro would be good, Broner would be good, Thurman would be good. Any of those guys.Comment

I just dont see khan having a 3 fight win streak,,, He is damaged goods.
In a perfect world he would go on a nice winning streak and fight floyd in 2015, but i just cant see him going thru any combination of porter, devon, brook, thurman, etcComment

Difference is Maidana gets outboxed. Khan has NEVER been outboxed. Ever. Maidana has been 3 times and with Devon that was embarrassing.
You can argue Kotelnik-Maidana, but being a contender on foreign soil he should have done more.
Now those guys are average boxers skill wise compared to Mayweather, but oh well have fun guys.Last edited by Box-Office; 03-23-2014, 02:52 PM.Comment

Khan is amazing pure boxer. He has the footwork of fred astaire, the balance of philip petite, the combinations of juan marquez, the defense of mayweather, and the intelligence of ray leonard.
He also has iron chin and throws his accurate combinations with leverage. He doesn't throw any sloppy flurrys at all.Comment
