    Default Maglinaggi: Khan is ducking Maidana

    Malignaggi Says Khan is Ducking Maidana, Wants Respect - Boxing News

    He also says he doesn't want to fight Khan on a Golden BOy date, he felt when he fought Diaz on that date he got robbed. He also says he would fight Khan and Maidana.

    If Khan doesn't fight Maidana then he is obviously ducking him. It looks a bit pathetic, but then Khan usually looks somewhat pathetic.

    You have to admire Malignaggi in a way, he really would fight anybody. No way he should allow a Diaz 1 situation to ever happen again though, it just wouldn't be right.

    Con is pretty much ducking any one that can punch. He has no confidence in his chin.

    While I don't have much respect for his punch power, I have grown to respect Malignaggi as a person. He spoke out about the suspicions concerning Pacquiao's methods, before half of boxing was curious. Now, despite a huge paycheck for a fight with one of the few boxers that I feel he has a shot at KOing, he speaks the truth in that Khan doesn't want to fight a dangerous puncher.

    Fight Maidana Khan. You'll look like a fool if you duck yet another puncher. Once you defeat the puncher (if you don't get KTFO), then you can go on to face Malignaggi.

    I bet he is thinking the exact opposite. Paulie has a bigger name than Maidana especially in New York and Maidana is a riskier fight. Beat Paulie and then take on the riskier fight. I agree though Kotelnik, Salita, and now Paulie. Sense a pattern here?

    Khan is ducking Maidana and if he doesnt fight him it really shows that he doesnt want to get involved with the fighters who have power at 140. I think he should fight him, it will answer a lot of questions regarding Khan's punch resistance. I will be dissapointed if Khan fights PM right now, not in the future but just right now

    I'm not so sure it's the fact he doesn't want to fight punchers....

    It's more to do with him not wanting to put his career on the line to beat a fighter who not many people know anything about. Certainly not the casual sports fans whom PPV's aim to appeal to.

    Put the true people who know boxing IMO will know that if Khan beats Maidana would be more on an achievement than beating PM. I think Maidana because of his stlye would be more of a threat than PM.

    The people who 'know boxing' don't necessarily line Khan's pockets though.

    Plus the people who know boxing will be quick to point out just how limited and talentless Maidana is if Khan beats him anyway.

    But what if Maidana sparks Khan out in similar fashion to Prescott? Then it shows how Khan will never be able to handle a power punch. This is why I think he needs to fight him and show people that he can handle him, if hes so limited why not fight him? Khan keeps his title and answers some questions regarding weather he can take a dig and how he handles an agressive 140 fighter.

    Surprised Malignaggi is saying this, but it is something we already know. Thought he would give the politically correct answer, a bit like Clottey fighting Pac man.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I disagree with that. Maidana, while an exciting fighter, is largely unproven. Malignaggi has demonstrated that he is among the best 140lb'ers in the world and if not an elite fighter than he is just a step below. All fighting Maidana would prove is that a) Khan can take a punch or b) that he's become a good enough fighter to avoid getting hit by a relatively crude and unproven slugger. Beating Malignaggi would demonstrate that Khan had arrived as a legitimate fighter.

    Disagree. I agree with Tam.

    Khan has already arrived as a legitimate fighter. He is ranked in the top five at his weight class in almost every poll. He has beat Kotelnik and Salita with ease both of which are top twenty junior welterweights and are decent boxers. However, Khan hasn't proved he can beat a big puncher on the top level. In addition, vacating a belt to avoid fighting his mandatory fight reflects a lack of confidence and really is unchampion-like especially if Maidana is "relatively crude and unproven." Why not extend your reign as champion and face Paulie in a title fight after dispatching of a "relatively crude" Maidana?

    You disagree that Maidana is not as big of a threat as Paulie?

    rankings don't really mean crap today, Kotelnik and Salita are both garbage, IMO Maidana was robbed against Kotelnik and well i view him as an equal threat as Malignaggi, Kotelnik has raw power and a relentless style, but Malignaggi has speed and overall better boxing skills than Maidana, and what he lacks in punching power he makes up for with his china and heart, both would be good fights for Khan, but i think Maidana has been waiting around for his shot a lot longer than Paulie
