Is Amir Khan ready to become a legend?

[Mark TKO]

Amir won't be able to outrun Maidana's tomahawks for 12 rounds 6 rounds.

I think he will

roach will have khan on his toes for 12rounds and telling him to fight in short bursts with those fast combinations he can land. I see maidana trying to chase khan down and getting hit at will.

Khan UD win

thats exactly the way I see it - he may even get a late stoppage win as Maidana has to go for it late on and tires

agreed

completely unlike paulie malignaggi who went into survival mode which enabled khan to pile on the pressure

Maidana's chin aint all that ladies and gents, this could end early, Maidana is not that good and Khan is improving with every fight with Roach.

I will take Khan via late stoppage but would not be surprised if the ref ended this early.

Roach isn't all that either. He let Tyson come in the worse shape ever and James Toney too. Roach is what he is because Pac is the best fighter to come to him and actually improve. Khan hasn't improved that much. He simply stays more cautious and stays on the outside. Very useful against Paulie Malignaggi.

[generalbulldog]

The question will be how will Khan respond to at least 1 flush shot on the chin from a Maidana type fighter.

Because although Khan has improved, he is not going to accomplish this.

Miles please Khan hasnt improved that much WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF? You for real?

[Gandalf]

No, I am quite serious. I think Khan has learned to hold back more and utilise his movement better, but it's still the same old Amir Khan. Stick him in with a threat and then let's see how much he has improved. Khan is in his element against the Salita's, Kotelnik's and Malignaggi's of the world, but let's see it against the punchers. How he responds to getting tagged by someone who can throw with mean intentions is where the improvments can be gauged, but currently I'm not so sure it is all that readily apparent.

[ICB]

Amir Khan has improved somewhat, but then again i think the Amir Khan before the Breidis Prescott fight. Still would of beaten Malignaggi, Salita, Kotelnik, because as Miles said we need to see him in, with a real dangerous opponent to see how much he really has improved.
