Khan scared of Maidana?

[ono]

Khan shouldnt be scared of anyone now he has Roach injecting him with this juice.

Watch another chinny fighter whos been knocked out early by a nobody suddenly develop fantastic punch resistance as he moves up in weights under Roach's guidance.

Can you please explain to me how steroids can improve your punch resistance?

Why the talk as if he has already vacated it? The news isn't all that credible.. it doesn't even provide a source. Who's to say Maidana's camp didn't start the rumour off?

I would rather see Khan in with the likes of Malignaggi or Diaz anyway. Not as big punchers, but IMO more credible names and overall better punchers. Sure Maidana can bang, but to me he looks like a fairly limited boxer.

Maidana is the mandatory...Maidana isn't fighting Devon Alexander anymore to pursue this match with Khan. His back is up against the wall.

I am the first to admit I think Khan is going in the right direction with them cherry pickin his fights, but when he gets in with someone who can bang its going to be lights out. Eventually he will have to step up to the plate and the true will Khan will be shown on the canvas

[generalbulldog]

So let's theoretically say that Khan takes on Maidana and outboxes him to a UD.

What is the excuse then? Maindana is a crappy unworthy fighter that was exposed? Khan is on steroids? Khan is lucky? Khan should have fought someone else?

I'm not a even a fan, but if he beats a big puncher that's a top 10 in the rankings as in something like Ring Magazine. How much credit does he deserve?

For me, it is the first legit fight I give him credit for and it truly will show how much he has progressed going up against a puncher. Even though I don't care what anyone says he has to avenge that embarrassing KO brought on by Prescott.

It's been done before mate. The same people who thought Kotelnik was a tough fight quickly changed their minds afterwards. Maidana would be the same. He won't get proper credit until he beats someone like Bradley. That's when the steroid claims come out

Just kidding about that last bit.

It gives you better powers of recovery

Amir Khan vs Marcos Maidana Ordered, Confirms Warren - Boxing News

Khan will look like a tool if he chickens out of this. If you want to be champion then you need to act like one. This means taking risks every now and then. If Khan wasn't ready for the step up then he really should not have fought for a belt in the first place.

Come on Khan, let's see a fight for once. Give the poor huddled masses a good reason to shell out 15 quid. You can't con them forever.

The responses so far show how fickle this forum can be so far.

First of the article is almost 1 month old and there has been no further talk of this happening.

Secondly it is just that - talk. Speculation backed up with absolutely zero quotes. Warren's column in The Sun today suggests that Khan will indeed fight Maidana.

Thirdly the article also mentions possible fights with Malignaggi, Marquez and Hatton, who last time i checked, are all a level above Maidana.

Fourthly, you cannot really criticize Khan for it as he would gladly fight anyone. It's more to do with frank Warren

Fifthly (if that's a word) - you can't really critisize Khan for doing what most fighters over the last god knows how many years, have done. That is, avoiding the big risk low reward fights in favour of the lower risk higher reward fights. Why the hell would you turn down a multi-million dollar pay day to fight for less against some generally unheard of guy, for much less money. I think a few people on here have watched Rocky a few too many times. In an ideal the world, a world champions would be the best in the world, and he would continually look to prove himself by beating the next best fighter. In the real world, Boxing is more of a business and less of a sport. If promoters used the gung-ho mentality of some posters on here, we'd never witness the delights of any fighter becoming a superstar. No De La Hoya, no Manny Pacquiao, no Floyd Mayweather, no Ricky Hatton. Boxing would be just like the UFC......shite.

Always with the same excuse. Con is not under a slave contract with Warren. As the promoter Warren job is to arrange fights for Con. But it's not all his call. Con does have a say in who he fights. Rather he makes his feelings known is a different story. So the blame for Con ducking fighters who can punch can not all be placed on Warren

Let's see where Khan goes from here. If he takes the fight and let's say he outboxes Maidana which I think he can do, he deserves all the credit for taking on a young in his prime big puncher at his division.

[Dark Lord Al]

Prescott has been exposed as a limited fighter , Maidana is pretty limited , however he can punch hard , so if Khan man's up ,fights and beats him UD , then we know he has the skills to avoid power and win. ( as he cant improve his weak chin )
By not fighting him is fuelling the criticts , that Khan and his camp know the first world class puncher who hits Khan on the chin , showers the first three rows of fans with broken glass.

Look at Evander as an example. He was getting knocked about by Bert Cooper but after a couple needles he was taking flush shots off Lewis and Tyson without budging

Yesh! If he does take the fight and wins he deserves full credit!
