GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc

All credit should be given to Khan if he gets by Maidana. I have never been a fan of Khan but have given him his due for even taking this fight. And I for sure won't discredit him for this victory if he gets it. So Bilbo and Ono, you don't have to worry about me discrediting him.

But I can't say the same for his other detractors, I'm thinking they'll say that Maidana was crap and Khan should have fought Bradley or Alexander in the 1st place.

Same here. 'Gotta give Khan a big big respect for taking this fight. If he takes a good one right in the chin and manage to shake it off while winning all rounds, I'll ditch Pac for him. I'd be Khan's biggest nuthugger.

This is not a cakewalk fight for both of them. Khan defo has better corner/crew though. That's why I'm leaning a little towards him. And I'm sensing Roach will be the BWAA coach of the year again. That'd be 5th for him.

Hahaha i'll be monitoring you closely

why is khan getting so much love for agreeing to fight maidana? he's supposed to fight these top fighters! he's a friggin' champion for christ sakes! he's finally facing a legitimately dangerous top ten fighter in maidana.

frankly, i think khan will probably outpoint maidana because of his speed but maidana will always be dangerous with that power.

Khan has already beat two legitimate top ten fighters - Kotelnik and Powderpuff.

yeah, and both of these guys couldn't dent a pillow with their soft feathery punches. i'm talking about a top 10 jr. welter with legitimate power as dangerous as maidana!

You forgot to say legitimate "power" in your first post.

I think that if (when) Khan beats Maidana most people will simply acknowledge the truth, that he's a one-dimensional slugger with average boxing skills and a big punch. Khan is simply a better fighter in nearly all aspects of the game, the only concern is his chin. I expect him to stop Maidana.

For what it's worth, I think Ortiz would have been a much sterner test for Khan, even though he lost to Maidana.
