chances of a Khan/Maidana

i dunno man, i dont think khans ready for that sort of fight, he needs to keep improving and getting stronger at the weight... in about a year i'd let him fight him, but maidana is a cranky *******, and khans still a bit vulnrable...

the Kotelnik fight is a step to what khans style will evolve around, if he can produce KO power, he'd be the perfect little boxer, as well as taking some nice punches...

 

Chances of Khan Maidana.... None.

Close Thread.

 

No chance really.

Warren doesn't want another 'unknown' (over here he is) fighter coming over and knocking Khan out. He would rather stick him in with Mosley. :deal

 

Unknown South American No.2; doesn't sound good does it:think

Kotelnik is a good style for Khan, Maidana is not.

 

edit

 

frank warren knows the score, he knows who to fight.. he knows khan better than khan knows himself... khan would fight anyone... maidana is too aggressive and hits to hard, he'd drag khan down, kotelnik gives khan time to breath, khan still cant handle the pressure that well, hes gets all twisted up and confused... all it takes is one hook when khans chins floating about.... and maidana would knock any fighter out even if you got a good chin

khan needs to keep working on his defensive skills, and trying to build up some knockout power..

if he had KO power, you could take risks with him... coz his defense ain't that bad, and his ring smarts have improved loads...

 

Khan is not ready for Maidana

i want to see him fight the winner of Diaz-maglianaggi

 

Would be a very tough fight, very dangerous for Khan.

 

it should be irrelivent question. Maidana is Khans mandatory so should be his next fight. If Khan wants to call himself a world champion he should be prepared to fight all comers.

 

Exactly, but we all know he will dodge Maidana.

 

I agree. But this is Warren we are talking about, even his world champions only fight "select" oppoinents. If Khan gives up that belt instead of fighting Maidana then he is gutless and a embarresment to British boxing.

 

Maglianaggi would be a good shout for his next opponent.

 

Maidana is as flawed in the chin department as Khan ....Ortiz had him down twice with nothing shots

 

-it isn't Khan's decision really, so he wouldn't be the gutless one.

-if Khan can outbox Kotelnik he can definitely outbox Maidana. The training camp will have to be mainly defensive training. Khan's using the jab very well, keeping the opponent away. Lots of jabbing for 6 rounds, along with a few combos, and then opening up a little in the next 6 should be the gameplan.

He should be looking at fighting Maidana, Witter, perhaps Malignaggi, Ricky Hatton.
