Why no habla Maidana?

Not sure how he'd do against Khan now. The longer he keeps winning, the more he impresses me. He is what he is, and his bulldozer approach could have Khan feeling uncomfortable and looking vulnerable. On the other hand, Khan could stop him quite early as Maidana leaves himself wide open when he throws his wide shots.

I can tell you what. No way Golden Boy puts Khan in with Maidana after what Maidana did to their last prospect (Victor Ortiz). Don't be surprised to see Khan move up to welterweight pretty soon so that he can bid his time filling out fighting tune ups and fringe contenders.

Alexander vs Maidana is Being Discussed For August - Boxing News

I don't see what Maidana's people are thinking, putting him in there with Alexander. He's beat two unbeaten prospects in the last year. He deserves a pay day. He should fight Paulie after Khan, which would build up the Maidana-Khan fight.

GBP are paying Maidana a lot of money to not fight Khan and force the mandatory. That tells you all you need to know.

Kudos to Alexander for this, these guys won't get the payday they deserve, but at least we'll get an exciting fight out of it.

No habla cause he's too big of a risk for any of the top guys. It sucks that the rankings are absolutly worthless and fighters and promoters can pick and choose (even though only one fighter get's blamed for what they all do). He really doesn't bring anything to the table right now except that he's a pretty bad ass dude that wins. Walk around town and just say his name and people will think you're cussing at them. Outside of us no one knows who the hell he is. Sucks cause that shouldn't matter. I say alexander beats his ass though. But i'd root for both guys if they fought

To be fair he's been on HBO a few times now and always puts on a good show. People will remember his performances against Ortiz and Cayo (Assuming they tuned in, in the first place)

Can someone answer why they call him "Chino"? Is he of Chinese origin?

He just looks Chinese, it's a cultural thing. He actually looks like he's Thai to me.

Hey... how 'bout Maidana-Hatton?

Other than El Maravilla of course.

So, what you are saying if I follow, is that it is like white people in the US referring to all Latinos as Mexicans...

Pacquiao
Bradley
Marquez
Hatton
Khan

they all take maidana on there day

Poor old Maidana. Since the Ortiz fight no one really wants to fight him. Especially Khan, they are doing all they can to not fight him!

I hope he gets the pay day he deserves against a big brand fighter, before he takes on a similar style opponent to him and gets caught. He has shown against Ortiz though that you can't keep him down.

Anyway, watch his latest fight here:

Maidana vs Cayo (full fight) - Boxing Highlights

And anyone who thinks Hatton would even make the weight against Maidana let alone not get knocked out is more deluded than Ricky himself.

Maidana is a hard hitting fighter and he's still learning but what perseverance and heart. It reminds one of the old time boxers that came to fight. Khan will be at the nearest airport when Maidana challenges him. Sorry, he boarded his flight an hour before. He is definitely quick isn't he?

I'm rewatching Maidana/Cayo now. I didn't notice before that Sergio Martinez was in Cayo's corner.
