Khan scared of Maidana?

[mattboxingfan]

If this is true Khan is pathetic and doesnt deserve his title, a true champion takes risk's! Be a good fight tho if it happened!

Amir Khan May Vacate if Marcos Maidana is Pushed - Boxing News

[Jimmy G-Force]

It will be Fwanks decision. He doesnt want another Prescott scenario. It's a bad decision though, he cant run from anyone with a half decent dig forever.

That is a bit sad, but if it turns out to be true I wouldn't be all that surprised. Khan is a fraud and I see nothing in him to change my opinion. Anyone can look flashy against other buffed up nobodies. Stick him in with someone who can punch and take a shot and see where that leads.

What's he going to do? Stand down and fight someone good for no strap or go up to WW?

The guys got to face someone sometime. Might as well face it sooner rather than later.

Agreed.

How about Khan moving back down to Lightweight ? And throw him in with Valero, I would love that.

Edit - My son bought me Amir Khan's dvd last year for Christmas. Needless to say he never got the Xbxox 360 he wanted this year.

That would be fun for a few rounds.

I'm regarded as a bit of a Khan hater, but the truth is simply that I am not easily conned. I know a hype job when I see it.

[Althugz]

Khan should not have a world title and call himself a "champion" if he does not want to/feel confident enough to take on all challengers...including those with some decent pop.

All this "progress him slowly" ends when you get your hands on a world title! How can you still be a work in progress if you're apparently at the top of the mountain? It makes no sense.

I remember growing up watching real fighters bash the fuck out of each other to prove who was the best........Khan is a joke.

[DatsiK]

Why the talk as if he has already vacated it? The news isn't all that credible.. it doesn't even provide a source. Who's to say Maidana's camp didn't start the rumour off?

I would rather see Khan in with the likes of Malignaggi or Diaz anyway. Not as big punchers, but IMO more credible names and overall better punchers. Sure Maidana can bang, but to me he looks like a fairly limited boxer.

Maidana is the mandatory...Maidana isn't fighting Devon Alexander anymore to pursue this match with Khan. His back is up against the wall.

I am the first to admit I think Khan is going in the right direction with them cherry pickin his fights, but when he gets in with someone who can bang its going to be lights out. Eventually he will have to step up to the plate and the true will Khan will be shown on the canvas

So let's theoretically say that Khan takes on Maidana and outboxes him to a UD.

What is the excuse then? Maindana is a crappy unworthy fighter that was exposed? Khan is on steroids? Khan is lucky? Khan should have fought someone else?

I'm not a even a fan, but if he beats a big puncher that's a top 10 in the rankings as in something like Ring Magazine. How much credit does he deserve?

For me, it is the first legit fight I give him credit for and it truly will show how much he has progressed going up against a puncher. Even though I don't care what anyone says he has to avenge that embarrassing KO brought on by Prescott.

It's been done before mate. The same people who thought Kotelnik was a tough fight quickly changed their minds afterwards. Maidana would be the same. He won't get proper credit until he beats someone like Bradley. That's when the steroid claims come out

Just kidding about that last bit.
