Like I said all along Maidana is shite, Khan will demolish him!

[ElTerribleMorales]

lets remember Maidana hadn't fought in 5 months, was marred with problems due to his promoters and manager taking advantage of him, i'm not saying that there's an excuse to look crappy against Corley of all people, but it could have been just that fight, he's looked great against guys that would mop the floor with Corley

To be fair though, it's all well and good making excuses like that, but nobody went easy on Khan losing to Prescott despite the fact he was actually fasting, which is far more detrimental than being inactive for 5 months...which is fairly normal for most fighters.

Hamed and Ali were both known to have fasted for fights and well i can't remember either one of them to lose only because of it, much less sparked in the 1 round by a future journeymen and a complete unknown at that time, what was Khan's excuse for all the other times that he was dropped and hurt against nobodies like Limond?

and there's a big difference cause Maidana struggled against a guy he should have blown out with ease, yet he still picked up a clear win and even scored the only KD in the fight, Khan was knocked silly in the first round by a nobody

Good point on Ali and Hamed.
