Khan - Maidana in jeopardy already...

[CFH]

Lol Maidana wants more than half a million to fight Khan. Out of interest, Skel do you know how much Paulie and Kotelnik got for fighting Khan.

Maidana will never see half a mill again. He'd be an idiot to turn that down. All this 65 - 35% stuff only really works if anyone even knows who the opponent is. Maidana might be dangerous, but nobody outside of the hardcores know him, and he doesn't sell tickets. That's a great offer for him.

Not sure mate for the Paulie one I would think quite similar to the deal on the table with Maidana, Khan is on a contract with Golden Boy for at least 7 figure pay for every fight and I think HBO would probably put the Khan v Maidana on about par with the Paulie fight in terms of money offered to host the fight.

I would guess Kotelnik who was champ would be even less who knows I will try and do some digging.

Not 100% sure but I think Paulie made about $650,000. Kotelnik I have no idea. Con doesn't necessarily need Madiana. He just needs a puncher period. Someone who can crack. To show everybody he can take a punch. Ever since the near death experience against Prescott he's fought nothing but hand picked opponents.

Agreed. Maidana is the ideal opponent for him because of his popularity, but he's by no means the only opponent for Khan.

Popularity with who?

Is there a more popular puncher at 140?

[ono]

He's probably the only real 'puncher' at 140, but i wouldn't say he's a popular fighter. He might be fairly popular on here, but i wouldn't say he's that popular with anyone outside the hardcores.

How about Joan Guzman vs Amir Khan ? or even Kaizer Mabuza who upset Kendall Holt earlier in the year.

Guzma vs Khan would be great imo.

Never seen Mabuza fight, but you'd have to be really shit to have a win over Kendall Holt to be seen as an 'upset'.

I agree it would be great, Joan Guzman has for certain outgrown the Lightweight division. Obviously with all the weight problems against Campbell/Funeka.

He's very skillful fighter, with some recognition. And Amir Khan would get alot of credit if he won. I know i would give him alot of credit.

As for Kaizer Mabuza, to be honest i hadn't really heard of him either. Until the Kendall Holt fight, which is why i called it an upset. As it totally come out of nowhere, because people thought it was more like a warm up for Kendall Holt, to get ready for bigger and better fights.

But those two fights would make the most sense, there's few prospects with undefeated records. But they aren't really known and it would be a waste of time.

Although Lamont Peterson vs Amir Khan wouldn't be bad come to think of it.

Would he?? The guy is what 36/37 has shown no power since his days as a 126 lb fighter, I don't want to see that fight at all. Khan would get no credit at all, he wasn't getting slated for wanting to fight Marquez but you think fighting Guzman he would?

Because Joan Guzman has outgrown the Lightweight division, he's naturally Jr Welterweight now. He was fighting as a Jr Welterweight vs Ali Funeka.

Where as when JMM moved up, he looked chubby around the midsection. And has no business moving up, Joan Guzman has had trouble making Lightweight limit for over 2 years.

And infact i thought he fought a good fight vs Ali Funeka, i mean with that attitude who would he get credit for fighting then ? you say Maidana is crap, Alexander has been exposed, so who is there then ?

I think Joan Guzman is one of the better opponents he could fight, except for a fight vs Timothy Bradley.

Plus his career hasn't been that hard, its not like he's been in wars like JMM. He's 34 but he's not an old 34, and he's only had 30 pro fights, i don't think he's worn out at all. And he still has some good fights left in him.

Infact there's good chance Joan Guzman could beat Amir Khan.

There are some excellent lighter weight South African fighters out there, usually give good account of themselves.

Who has Khan fought? To say who gets paid what, Khan’s only highlighted wins are against the much smaller Barrera, fighting way above his fighting weight, again Khan had all the advantages size, reach, age,
and he won that by a head butt,

and the light punching Malignaggi, Khan does not have the punching power to trouble any of the current lightwelter champs; Khan has been nothing but Hype and spin since turning pro,
With or without Freddie Roach this man is a regular fighter. Nothing special. He can't beat Bradley or Alexander and doesn’t really have the stones for maidana. Khan has been forced to take the Maidana fight, how anyone can believe the shit coming from Khan’s mouth is beyond me, Khan is fast and throws allot of powder puff punchers, but no power be hide them, he has a glass chin, or he did have unless Freddy Roach waved a magic wand and toughed it up.

At 140 he tends to overwhelm opponent with punch volume rather than power.


I'd argue that's what Khan has done for pretty much most of his career...
