Danny Garcia vs. Amir Khan 2 planned for November

[CFH]

Schaefer just talked to Dan Raphael and said the fight he most wants to make is Matthysse-Maidana for this March.

I really like both fighters, but Matthysse would take Maidana apart. They can both crack, but only one of them can box and only one of them has a solid chin.

I'd still love to see the fight though.

Exactly what I was thinking, how would Maidana possibly win that.

Maidana always has a chance because he can punch, but I would have Matthysse as a huge favourite. Matthysse's biggest flaws are that he seems like he can be outboxed and that he's not very fleet of hand or foot, but Maidana isn't the guy to exploit those weaknesses.

Exactly, and Matthyse definetly has some subtle boxiing skills of his own. I think the worst case scenario for him would be having to fall back on them and winning a tough decision, but I wouldn't be surprised if he just took it to Maidana and steamrolled him to the body either.

If you watch Khan's fights against guys like Maidana and Peterson (maybe more, not thinking clearly now) he starts the fight boxing their heads off. His hands and feet are so much faster and he looks to be in a completely different class to them. Then he gets clocked for the first time -- and he slows right the fuck down. I think when he does get clocked he'd like to box smart, I think he'd like just to have got on his bike against maidana and safely utboxed him instead of taking endless shots but he couldn't do it because once he gets properly hit it slows him right down compared to how he is when the first bell goes. That's why if he fights Garcia again it's only a m,atter of time till Garcia catches him again and eventually Garcia will stop him again. Maybe it's over even faster than the first fight.
