Like I said all along Maidana is shite, Khan will demolish him!

I have been saying this for so long some people even saying he is the best in the division :vd:.

I have watched the Ortiz fight about ten times Ortiz uses his jab maybe twice in the whole fight, if they rematch Ortiz would beat him comfortably imo.

I just can't/couldn't get my head round Roach and a few on here saying Khan v Maidana is a fight for the future that needs building?? Building the guy is crap and if him and Khan didn't get it on soon they never would as he would be exposed and beat before they did and then Khan would always have that with him he ducked Maidana, the guy is so average Khan will slaughter him. I think Urango would beat and quite a few of the other top ten handily, if you didnt catch his fight last night go watch it to see how over rated this guy is.

Khan stops him for me.

Now a lot of boxing fans know that Maidana is a granite chin bomber that lacks the finesse of Khan. No one is saying that Maidana is the better talent or boxer than Khan, but everyone knows that Khan has a serious weakness and that is his chin. Could Khan possibly outbox and tko Maidana, yes he can, could Khan get a UD against Maidana, well of course that's another possibility.

The myriad of questions are what happens when Maidana lands a flush shot on Khan's chin? Why does Roach want to build up a fight and avoid Maidana right now if he's so easy to take?

The answer of course all points to Khan's chin.

I guess you missed his fight with Corley last night? Granite chin? You sure about that ?Khan will demolish him, not sure if it was you but a couple on here have said they think Maidana is the best in the division LMAO.

He is very average and khan will destroy him come back to this thread when the fight happens.

No I haven't checked out the Corley fight, I'll watch it out later. The best in the division to me is Bradley, the most accomplished fighter in the division that takes on all comers.

For Maidana I rank him as a tie for 3rd with Khan, behind Bradley and Alexander. There was only 1 person I could think of that said Maidana was the best in the division and I think that was Pacstraightleft and being here for a while I think he's just a fan of mostly 1 certain fighter and not really knowledgeable about the sport. Other than that I haven't read too much of anyone ranking Maidana no.1 at 140.

very good post

think you could make a reasonable argument for khan being dominant in every single attribute that the sport of boxing requires

But marcos is a natural born fighter with a very good pedigree and loves to get into a good scrap. This will be another test for khan in america, last time out he fought the technician with fast hands, now he is going up against the brawler with a big punch.

Haven't seen the fight yet, but I've read he made hard work of it.

This is against a 36 year old who has been soundly beaten every time he stepped up.

I like Maidana because he is pure and un moulded, I love Khan because of his skills (the fact he's British helps a lot) but the longer they go on through their careers, the better Khan is getting and Maidana isn't improving.

Khan gets taught by Roach, Maidana by some goat herder. I do think if the lad had some actual training, he could develop his natural talent into something good.

I'll hold my final judgment until I've seen the fight, but I am swaying to Khan simply out boxing him all night now.

Where did you watch the fight to Skel? Anyone got a vid?

Agree. Khan has it all except for the chin. Even Sugar Ray Leonard said it himself after the '04 Olympics that Khan could be the next himself, of course this was before Khan's chin was exposed in fights with Willie Limond and Prescott and whoever else that floored him.

If Khan had say Pacman's chin, his potential in this sport would be out of this world and imo he would be the heir as the next great superstar of this sport once Manny and Floyd retires or start declining in ability. He has the speed, power, mobility, boxing skills, the frame to move up multiple weight divisions, and the marketability to attract the masses like Leonard and De La Hoya, but that potential is severely being impacted by what looks to be a shitty chin.

It's a damn shame, and I'm being fair about that assessment.

Watched on a stream mate he looked slow his so called granite shin looked shaky rocked a good few times I always said he was average I know you like him but Khan would be far to good for him.

I think Maidana has that Tyson esque appeal about him, straight from gutter into the ring.

But I also think he is too small against Khan, found this clip of round 12 from last night, either Corley is massive, but Maidana makes him look like a Mid Weight.

I just see Khan boxing round the outside of the ring and simply not letting that chin get caught.

There looking at MEN arena December 11th not America. ;)

I'm one of the guys who's said Golden Boy will want to build up Maidana for a fight with Khan. Not because he has potential though. It's more to do with protecting their investment in Khan. If Maidana was to KO Khan (which i don't think he would), Golden Boy would have nowhere to go with Khan, purely because Khan will have been ko'd twice by fighters who aren't recognised by the mainstream.

However, if Khan loses to Maidana when Maidana has had at least a little exposure, a Khan loss, although it would still be bad, it wouldn't be as devastating as it would be if he was to lose to Maidana now.

It's nowt to do with me rating Maidana. I'm with Skel, i think he's crap, and he's as gung-ho as he was against Ortiz, Khan would take his head off. Khan would stop him in around 5/6 rounds imo. He's far too good for Maidana.

I actually thought at the time of watching that fight that more was being made of maidana. Still he has a big punch and khan has no chin. so who knows.

Roach cannot fix Khan's chin.
