Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Eyes Maidana Rematch, Guerrero, Porter

[Cnota21]

Khan vs Maidana/Garcia is inevitable as there is still demand for these matches, i am in no doubt within the next 2 years we will see these rematches take place

It makes financial sense, Maidana cud lose his next match and Khan cud lose his next match, but people will still want to see the rematch

You can say Khan has a glass jaw, but he gets a thrill out of fighting difficult fighters

Khan is a asset to the sport and boxing wud be a much boring place without fighters like him

Yea Khan is an asset to the sport alright. Boxing needs his excessive clinching and illegal pushes that he does whenever someone is working that glass chin of his.

How many fights has Khan clinched in bar the one against a difficult southpaw like Collazo?

Also lets not exaggerate the clinches, Floyd, Bhop,Ward, Wlad, and a million other boxers deploy similar tactics some way worse than Khan does or will ever do

Its up to the ref to put a stop to such tactics

I'm not hating on Khan, I'm speaking reality about how many of people view Khan. Ortiz knocked out and undefeated fighter by the name of Berto. At the time Berto was in the running for a Mayweather/Mosley fight, but Ortiz stopped Berto in a Gatti Vs Ward type manner.

You young pups have a hard time separating other people views on a fighter you love, but just because I have a difference in views that doesn't make me a hater, because like I said, I'm not hating on Amir Khan, but Amir Khan does himself no favors by telling everybody he knows he could beat the best boxer in the sport all awhile you ducked an Alexander fight because you wanted to fight Floyd, but its obvious Khan didn't believe he could beat Alexander and that's why he passed on the fight, because everybody knows Mayweather fights in May/September. Khans promoter doesn't think he could hold up to stiff competition so Khan signs a contract to fight Callazo. Now to further prove my point, who is a better fight between Alexander and Collazo? I rest my case

Furthermore all boxers get scrutinized on the picking and choosing of their opponents. Mayweather has defeated 23 CHAMPIONS and several undefeated fighters in his career and he still gets criticized.

Just to let you know Ortiz never KO'd Berto. So maybe you should check that out again. He was the underdog and beat Berto in a FOTY type fight. Both fighters were knocked down but no KO ever occurred.

He tried the same crap in the Peterson fight, theaidana fight, Garcia fight, and now this past weekend when he fought 3rd tier fighter Collazo. So in the fights that actually is of competion, Khan utilizes those tactics, and yes youre right those other fighters do use those tactics,and i discredit them for it and it should be banned in the sport. But Khan uses it more than the others. You have Groves on your picture. Hes an awesome fighter. How comes he doesnt clinch for dear life? No instead he fights like a real champ

How is Khan demanding a rematch when he beat Maidana?

He may want to fight him again, but the winner does not chase a rematch.

Khan realizes he will utterly be destroyed by a 165 lb Maidana.... yes?

I agree - close fight first time - Khan got the early knock down - Maidana finished stronger and Khan was lucky to get through the 10th.

Since their first fight Maidan has improved and watching last 2 fights his stamina has improved - Maidana for me stops Khan if they re-match.

Khan doesn't need to rematch, Maidana. Maidana got dealt with, and the same result would happen if they ever faced again. Khan should go after Porter, Garcia or Guerrero. Much for intriguing fights for him and for his fans.

What clinching did he do against Maidana, ?


stop talking crap,

Khans problem has been infact that he doesn't clinch enough, when this guy gets rocked by a heavy punch instead of clinching and regaining his senses, he would brawl toe to toe like a mad man

i'm glad khan is now clinching, he shouldnt be standing in the pocket with heavy punchers taking unnecessary blows.

the more khan clinches the better, i like this new clinch khan

khan needs to play dirty just like maidana and other boxers do, for too long he's played the nice guy, more elbows, more low blows, headbutss, whatever it takes

now go cry

Id like to see khan vs dana 2 but i really wanna see porter end him guerro is finished and if khan chooses him we know what kinda fights he wants at 147!
