Khan vs Marcos Chino Maidana ?

[JazMerkin]

If Khan gets in the ring with Maidana I would have the utmost respect for his guts because the Argentine is one mean muthaf*cka. However, I'm not that convinced that Khan beats Kotelnik yet so we'll see how that goes first

[OumaFan]

I would disagree that its only risk and no reward. Beating Maidana would instantly change a large segment of the boxing community's opinion of Khan, more so than Kotelnik really since people want to see Khan against a puncher. And I don't think its totally out of the question that he could, Maidana could get a bit overrated in the aftermath of the Ortiz fight.

I thought Marcos Rene Maidana beat Andriy Kotlenik aswell.

There is no way Con can take half the punishment Ortiz took.

True but Khan wouldn't take the same amount of chances Ortiz did, wouldnt' exchange like that and wouldn't get hit like that.

Maidana should be the favorite though as there are rumors going around that Khan's chin might not be the sturdiest.

I still felt Amir Khan was very hittable, MAB was still able to hit him. And Amir Khan felt the weight of those shots he was hit with aswell, despite his new high guard defense. He's still vunerable to hooks or looping punches.

True but were talking about a legend in Barrera, granted a bit old but not far from almost edging an ATG in JMM, who had a good camp, no fires, nothing like what caused him to lose the first Pac fight. Obviously a much more accurate, technical fighter than Maidana.

And the guy had one eye and looked kind of bloated and doesn't really have the power at 135 and still managed to rock Khan. I think Khan was wobbling a bit at the end of the 2nd.

I don't know man, I think you're underestimating the importance of a good camp and overestimating this male bloating thing. MAB was cut sure but Khan was just too fast, he wins that one cut or no cut.

If Maidana and Khan do fight I will bet everything I have that Maidana knocks the living shit out of Khan. Khan's china chin will break and have a massive shattering sound.

There is no way that will happen though Roach and Warren are shitting bricks just thinking of having Maidana in the ring with Khan.

To be honest though that fight against JMM, was 2 years ago and at a different weightclass. 2 years make a big difference, plus he didn't look that good in his two warm up fights prior to the Amir Khan fight. And he was cut bad in one of those fights aswell.

I don't think you can really tell how good Amir Khan, really was against MAB. He got cut badly in the opening seconds, and he had no chance to get into the fight.

Plus he was undersized and it was a mismatch size wise, the thing that worried me is that MAB was still able to shake up. Amir Khan with the punches he did land.

I think Amir Khan would of beat that MAB, even without Freddie Roach. It wasn't like MAB really had a chance with that cut, which really should of been a no-conest.

Amir Khan is still vunerable to hooks and looping shots as i said, and i still think he gets KO'ed when he meets a goodish fighter with a big punch. He has the skills but he's far too fragile.

Khan's defense sucks, he still managed to get marked up by Barrera for christ sake, Maidana would have ko'd Khan with half of any of the shots that he landed on Ortiz

Rumors? That's pretty much a fact
