Comments Thread For: Marcos Maidana Open To Face Khan, Not Thurman

[Black As Boxing]

The argentinian punching bag been ducking brother Keith for years.

No wonder that pussy fake keeps it on.

Coming off back to back losses, he needs to make his name relevant again before the money fights. He might have to actually fight thurman.

i agreed with this.. i see what chino is doing, he wants the big fights for big money but like u said he's coming back off of 2 losses so he is not in a position to demands big fights for big money. get in there with a respectful name, beat him then u'll be in a position to start calling for those big fights again.

Maidana vs Thurman makes sense. He isn't getting any other money fight right now. It's best to get and stay in the mix by beating another top 10 welterweight.

Hmm

To reiterate what I said earlier....I can't tell if you're trolling or if you are ******. You said "Thurman hasn't beat anybody lol". Using this reason as a reason to not fight Thurman is a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself. People ask "Who has Thurman fought that's credible", while simultaneously ducking him for that very reason which starts the whole cycle all over again. Meanwhile Thurman has to keep fighting bums while "so called" boxing fans like you ******ly ask "When is Thurman going to fight a top 10 fighter?" Do you see how this cycle keeps repeating? Or did you never make it past the 5th grade

I think you have to fight someone of some quality to get bigger names. Maybe beat up someone on their way down or someone else with a lot to prove. Alexander, Porter, Broner etc. Not people who are at that level just below the top such as Maidana, Khan etc.

When has the ****** argie Maidana ever faced a big puncher?

The dudes a fraud.

[uthmaann]

Thurmann is not a step up from Devon, lets be honest here..

Thumann fighting Devon wud be a step up for Thurmann...So how on earth is Khan fighting Thurmann a step up from Devon? I am talking strictly resumes and positioning

Maidana is coming off two losses, right now he is in no position to be a picky ****. Although i see his reasoning for not wanting to fight Thurmann, high risk, low reward...the same then should apply for Khan, high risk low reward..

People need to be consistent.

This. I agree.

[uthmaann]

^^ This.

Maidana coming from 2 loses, he's no right to call the shots right now.

Against Keith 'i havent got ONE decent name on my record' Thurman he can. He would be the A side here big time. Keith is not known, brings no money. Is a nobody basically.

You keep putting Maidana at the top, where he doesn't belong. His career proves he's not on that level. He's among the Alexanders, Broners, Porters, and Guerreros.

Eveybody always say ducking, he ducking.....This guy just had two big fights with Floyd....WHY n DA FCK would he fight a guy with no name, no resume, nothing to bring to the table....IF im Madiana Im looking for only big fights right now.....Thurman has to fight someone like Porter/Devon/Gurrero/ then Fight Khan/Madiana

^this! End of discussion

[Willthethrill]

i dont think chino should have this kind of leverage and this certainly doesnt look good as far as ducking thurman, but i dont blame him for only wanting the big fights especially after thurman was boo'd. it just makes more sense to fight amir khan from his perspective
