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

[Violent Demise]

I don't think Con's a bigger hitter than Ortiz. At best there even in power. Maidana was able to get up from that power. I see no reason he can't get up from Con's if need be. As for Con getting up from Maidana's power? Not happening. I see Con wobbled by a Prescott jab. A fucking jab! People always wanna make excuses for Con. There ain't no excuses. His chin is that poor. And it can not be fixed. Con was forced into this fight. He had no choice. If Maidana didn't press the issue, Con was a set to fight Willy Blain

That's not true. You can slate people for defending Khan's china-chin (that's just being foolish) but to question his heart is wrong. There's no doubt whatsoever Khan is dumb/brave enough to wanna fight anyone.

Oh yeah, you can tell Con was just dying for the fight. I'm not even gonna bother bringing up the time Con threatened to give up his WBA title if forced to fight his mandatory Marcos Maidana

Schaefer says Con punked into facing Maidana. Didn't really want to.

That site writer is the biggest joke ever (serious hater). Being fooled by someone obviously twisting quotes makes you look like a mug. Serious.

It is blatantly obvious Richard Schaefer was praising Khan there. He was responding to a question from Steve Bunce "why is Khan fighting the dangerous Maidana?" hence "Khan is a great champion who is honouring his mandatory"

Khan could have dumped that belt anytime over the past year. There are loads of fights he can take over Maidana.

Don't be silly now VD.

Reduced to bashing a writer. Sad indeed. Con's been avoiding punchers since Prescott nearly decapitated him. That right there is a straight fact. Maidana has been Con's mandatory for some time. Con has done everything to avoid a Maidana fight. The fact that Maidana had to force a purse bid says it all. Con could of gave up the belt. But he knew the laughter that was directed at him when he threatened that move in the past would return. With a vengeance. Bottom line was Con gives up the title and he's labeled a coward. And no amount of damage control would save him. He was forced into the fight

1. The fight never went to purse bids. Team Maidana threatened that during negotiations but everything was resolved. The problem was money (surprise surprise) and the venue. Khan wanted the fight in England, Maidana in the US. Maidana got his way on both counts - a $650,000 career high payday and Vegas.

2. Why is it sad to point out a particular "writer" is spouting rubbish? What's really sad is - many of you naive fools believe any article written is credible just because it comes from an authentic looking site. Just about ANYONE can get printed on these sites.

3. You're right about Khan dodging punchers since Prescott... until now obviously.

Well regardless of the backroom drama, this fight is now happening. This is a career defining fight for both. If Maidana loses, he is regulated to being a sort of gatekeeperish fighter. Khan loses and it's 0-2 vs big punchers with severely limited skills, and can forget about fighting on HBO ppvs or any of that stuff.
