I thought the first match was amazing and I would love to see it happen again one day. Maidana seems stronger and better at 147, would he be too much for Khan?

Yes! Especially the new head moving and jabbing Maidana!
I don't see why, khan was drained at light welter too
Maidana is now some super human because he have floyd a tough fight and he beat broner
Broner would have lost to the first welter he came against who was half decent, he lost to malinagi
Its tough to say for me. I think they are both better than they were when they met the first time. Khans got better footwork, he uses his ranges better but he wasnt exactly tested by Collazo. At the same time i think Garcia has done some decent things with Maidana. However i'm not sold on the first fight with floyd as floyd was dumb to fight the way he did. Khan would move better than he did the first time but maidana would be better at running him down this time.
The million dollar question for me is what happens when Maidana catches up to him. If khan panics and freezes up when hes being mauled by Chino and forgets to breathe, I think khan loses a decision or by knockout. If Khans exercised those ghosts he can pick away at Chino, he wins by decision. It comes down to khans mental capacity.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

I would say he would, but who am i to talk? Every man can improve quite fast, and anyone can surprise, and everything could happened in a boxing ring with a millions of eyes looking at them.
I think Khan would beat Chino. Khan would out box him. Maidana is too slow and the reason why it was close for their first fight was because Khan fought aggressively.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Agreed with J Undisputed, was going to say I think they have both likely improved, it would be a great rematch. Neither can really live with the others kind of fight, and I think both guys were within one good punch of a stoppage the first time, fun style clash for sure.
Before Robert Garcia I would have said no, now I'm not sure. Khan has been KOed twice since they fought last and Maidana has been doing very well since he hooked up with Garcia.
I'm thinking Maidana does much better.
