It Khan wins this, then no doubt I will want more danger! Khan is not among the elite at 140 yet, despite his win over Paulie. There are more important fighters out there. Stick him in there with Bradley, that's what I want above all else.
    I have no problem with you being a Khan hater, Miles, but to say he is not elite at 140 is ridiculous.

    He has wins over current top ten rated lightwelters and has better form than current top ten rated lightwelters. He is clearly an elite 140 fighter.

    However much you dislike him this can't be disputed. Fact.
    Oh please, you're making it sound like that people who criticized Khan was doing it because they were irrational.

    They just wanted to see him in a fight where it's not a foregone conclusion that he would win easily. As Miles put it this is a good fight because Maidana has the power to ko him like that, instead of fighting guys like feather fisted Paulie, crap WBA fringe contender like Salita, trying to fight a shot Morales, or a small and undersized JMM who has no business fighting past 135.

    Khan is finally taking a fight that has an air of danger in it.

    Most are irrational. Most will discredit the Maidana win the second it's over (if Khan wins).

    Yes Maidana is a dangerous puncher. But he is not a great fighter. He does not have great form. Therefore Khan's win will be dismissed by the genuine haters.

    Everyone on earth knows Khan has a china-chin - almost every fight is a danger.
