Khan-Maidana in October? | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7

Wow; would be nice if it happens this soon. I would also go with Maidana.
Maidana did say after he stopped Victor Ortiz that a fight with Khan would be "easy".
I'd like to see it.
He'd have to catch Khan first though.
Khan gets knocked out in 5.
if it's made then....
....damn that's one short title run :-X:-X:-X
dont know nothing abt this Maidana guy really is he khans mandatory?

well he's the guy that should have won Kotelnik's strap but was screwed over, and just beat Victor Ortiz, guy has the one thing that makes Khan shit himself, power, and lots of it, IMO the first big shot he lands on Khan will put him to sleep, and it's not like it's hard to, Barrera with a gaping gash on his forehead managed to mark him up, and quite a bit at thatQuote:

Intriguing match... if Khan makes it, it means 2 things: 1) Roach deserves without contest his 5 stars grade and 2), Kahn deserves some credit this time no matter what.
Maidana became the mandatory by beating Ortiz. I for one really look forward to this fight, full credit to whomever comes out the winner.
Classic case of fast smooth boxer versus caveman. I'm actually gonna go with Khan in this fight, reason being he listens to his corner (something Ortiz failed to do) this is by no means definitive and I certainly wouldn't lay down cash on him. It will be interesting to see if Khan's stamina holds up against Maidana who will certainly be pressing more.
I'm not gunna make a prediction just yet.. I only do that if the fight is official. But if Team Khan are serious about this fight then well done! and there was everyone thinking Khan would be defending his belt against weak names.
if Khan beats Maidana i'll give him full credit, i don't give him much credit for the Kotelnik win, cause i didn't really think much of Kotelnik in the first place, he was the worst of the top 10 at 140, but yea i'll already give him credit just for signing the fightQuote:

This fight could end all doubters, but of course it could seriously derail his career also.
yea to be a hater you have to have something against the FIGHTER, i just can't stand his fans, not Pacquiao himself, and that's not even to all his fans, just the ones that ramble on meaningless "facts about him" and the ones that think he's some holy figure :rolleyes:Quote:

Pac got stopped in very different ways than Khan did. The two are not even remotely comparable IMO.Quote:

I can see Khan racking up points by outboxing Maidana. I see Khan having one or two moments than he is in trouble but think he takes a shot better at 140 than he did at 135.
I will go out on a limb and say Khan could even drop Maidana is he will walk onto something. Does not mean he will be hurt but think he could get dropped.
ummm when the hell did race get involved, get over yourself and your crush for Pacquiao, and on that dude you should be embarrassed to have Banal there, he's a joke, went running from a fight against an old man in Lopez lolQuote:

Maidana lacks any quality defensive skills & as good as his win against Ortiz was, I felt that if Ortiz had been a bit smarter rather than trying to blow him out in the 2nd & then going to war he might have won. I don't think Khan will get drawn into Maidana's fight, although there is every chance that Maidana's right hand connects & lays Khan out.
i don't hate on everyone that backs up pacquiao, but get tired of nutthuggers that throw his name into threads that have nothing to do with him in anyway, and the ones that think he'll win without ever giving a reason other than, he's pacquiao :rolleyes:Quote:

Chances are this fight won't happen though, especially if Khan stays with Warren...
Can see Khan stopping him but at the same time Maidana has power and Khan's chin isn't solid.
Still think Maidana is too wild and open to fast flurries. If Khan can take a half decent shot at 140 then he has little trouble here. If he can't, he's fucked.
It could be the weight issues where Khan was chinny at a lower weight but maybe his chin has improved, because he was a big lightweight and it could be struggles there. Examples would be Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto who were chinny at the lower weights but didn't become chinny at the higher weights.
Maybe his 1.5% body fat did him in ;DQuote:

Khan will probably win this.
Agreed im not that impressed with Marco Rene Maidana, to be honest. I think he beat Andriy Kotelnik, but again Andriy Kotelnik is nothing special. I will give Amir Khan credit if he takes this fight though, because despite Marcos Rene Maidana being a crude fighter, he's still a banger and its still a dangerous fight.Quote:
