Khan - Maidana in jeopardy already...

[Violent Demise]

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.

They where hand picked on power long before Prescot mate....Prescot was his only dabble in the ring with a high % puncher and he failed bigtime.

its a shame really because i think if he had a chin he could be something special.

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?

[rjj tszyu]

I think this fight WILL happen and I think Khan will be way too good too. I have been really impressed with Khan since the Prescott fight and I think he is probably the best 140lbs fighter on the planet and that includes Bradley too (although Judah still has me thinking).

Is there a more popular puncher at 140?

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.

khan would get slated to high heaven Guzman needs to be tested at 140 before he even considers himself an option for Khan.

Yeah that's true. I mean it seemed Nate Campbell had out-grown 135, but he has been utterly gash at 140.

Guzman had over 300 amateur fights, he has constant hand trouble. Having said that, I agree he would be a good opponent for Khan.

Guzman's skill vs Khan's speed - goodnight Amir
