Khan-Maidana In The Works?

[CFH]

I think Ortiz, the guy Maidana just beat, would have a much better shot at beating Khan.

For what it's worth they fought in the Junior Olympic final and Khan gave him 3 standing counts before the referee stopped it. Ortiz couldn't even come close to dealing with Khan's speed.

Although things could be different now but i reckon Khan would be well confident and i'm not so sure Ortiz would be keen on the fight.

That's interesting, I did not know that. Obviously the pro's are a different game, but that does not bode well for my prediction (not like the fight will ever happen).

Khan will get badly clocked if he takes this fight now,especially this soon after he won the WBA title,Maidana would chage at Khan and badly ko him to the canvass.I read that Freddy Roach even stated that he is willing to avoid and even let Amir Khan give away his WBA title belt due to Maidana being soo risky.NOT MUCH OF A FIGHTER IF KHAN DOES'NT STEP UP TO THE PLATE!I feel that there'll be some kind of loop hope towards this fight.

He just moved up to a new weight class, fought a solid (if unspectacular) belt holder, and won the title in a one-sided rout. All this three fights and less than a year removed from being brutally knocked out in less than a round in front of his fans. He's also a regular sparring partner for the best P4P fighter in the sport - an ATG and a man who is poised to solidify himself as one of the top fighters of all time.

I'd say that's stepping up to the plate in a big way. What more could he reasonably do?

No way Khan fights Maidana next. He's guaranteed at least one easy fight before they take risks with him.
