    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.

    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.

    I agree with that, it would be a good win for him if he manages to pull it off.

    If he wins il say decent win nothing special he is fighting a guy who was marginally beaton maybe debatable by Kotelnik who Khan easily beat, i dont understand this he deserves credit for takeing him on bullshit.

    The guy is a world champ now he knows the fucking rules Maidana is the next in line he deserves no credit at all he got himself in this posistion he needs to fight him, it's ok to fight the number 1 challanger who cant crack an egg and has a chin made of glass ( Salita ) but the next challanger is tough as nails and hits like a muel he wants to not fight, fuck that shit, unless he fights another belt holder he needs to make this fight happen.

    And he gets no credit from me for takeing the fight not one bit its what he was to do being the WBA Champ.

    I'm seeing it from a neutral point of view. I'm not a fan of the guy, but he has been given a lot of grief since his Prescott loss. And I thought he rebounded quite well. If he takes the fight and beats Maidana it is a very good win, because he was ko by a guy with power and it has been known that his chin was iffy. To be able to come back and beat a top 10 prime Jr. welter is something very credible, especially since he just moved up in weight.
