Why no habla Maidana?

[Montezuma]

from what I saw Saturday, Kahn would outbox him and maybe stop him. With as many openings as he has and the times he gets tagged with the way Khan fights now I could see him beating him.

I cannot see Khan beating Maidana. Khan does have hand speed and boxing skills to do the job but after seeing the firepower that this guy has I expect Khan to be knocked out in savage fashion.

To me when Khan boxes on the outside he seems unsure of himself and more venerable. I noticed this moreso in the Kotelnik fight then others. I thought Khan would have a good chance before, I don't think he would win now though.

Not sure how he'd do against Khan now. The longer he keeps winning, the more he impresses me. He is what he is, and his bulldozer approach could have Khan feeling uncomfortable and looking vulnerable. On the other hand, Khan could stop him quite early as Maidana leaves himself wide open when he throws his wide shots.

I can tell you what. No way Golden Boy puts Khan in with Maidana after what Maidana did to their last prospect (Victor Ortiz). Don't be surprised to see Khan move up to welterweight pretty soon so that he can bid his time filling out fighting tune ups and fringe contenders.

Alexander vs Maidana is Being Discussed For August - Boxing News

I don't see what Maidana's people are thinking, putting him in there with Alexander. He's beat two unbeaten prospects in the last year. He deserves a pay day. He should fight Paulie after Khan, which would build up the Maidana-Khan fight.

GBP are paying Maidana a lot of money to not fight Khan and force the mandatory. That tells you all you need to know.

No habla cause he's too big of a risk for any of the top guys. It sucks that the rankings are absolutly worthless and fighters and promoters can pick and choose (even though only one fighter get's blamed for what they all do). He really doesn't bring anything to the table right now except that he's a pretty bad ass dude that wins. Walk around town and just say his name and people will think you're cussing at them. Outside of us no one knows who the hell he is. Sucks cause that shouldn't matter. I say alexander beats his ass though. But i'd root for both guys if they fought

Kudos to Alexander for this, these guys won't get the payday they deserve, but at least we'll get an exciting fight out of it.
