Roach rejects Maidana wants Khan to vacate.

[0james0]

Looks like the Maidana fight is making progress. I hope it goes ahead, if Khan can win that one, he will have earnt my respect as a world champ.

From Frank Warren speaking to skysports news today:

Khan is due to make the second defence of his title against Marcos Maidana of Argentina.
The fight has gone to purse bids and more details will be confirmed next week, with Warren confident Khan can deliver again:
"We couldn't agree terms (for the fight) and we'll see what happens next week with it," he added.
"It's a tough fight for him but he's capable. Over the last 12 months he's turned into a different fighter."

Bump.


Totally worth revisiting. Khan taking on Canelo means it was Roach standing in the way of a Maidana fight.

Way more dangerous....

Not to mention that he cleaned Maidana's clock the same year the story came out and also beat Paulie in the same year.

LOL, true...except the final two rounds were pretty scary.. Marcos came on.

To me if roach was still his trainer...he would be cock blocking this fight.
Taking on Canelo speaks volumes as to how much faith ....roach did NOT have in Amir.

I've always thought Roach was an Arum middle man but in fairness it was just over a year since the world fell in with Prescott and Roach has always been one of these guys that cant shut up. Lets remember that they had a secret weapon for Floyd.

Oh and I know Khan went to GBP around that time but generally speaking Roach was an Arum lackey.
