    How often do you actually see guys 'walking straight through' power punches? Hardly ever. Khan isn't exactly feather-fisted, and his punches are quick, sharp and accurate. His jab was snapping Paulie's head back and keeping him at bay. And Paulie has a better chin than Maidana, why didn't he walk straight through his punches?

    Maidana is sloppy and wild. Yes he has the power to take Khan out, he has the power to take pretty much anybody in the division out if he lands the right shot. Will he? Doubtful. He is bettered for speed by far and for technical skill by a margin aswell.

    Cool. It would be great to see. I agree with him on Bradley, I think he's the top dog at 140 at the moment on merit - although I believe Alexander to be certainly his equal as a fighter - and so I think he can demand purse-majorities - thought nothing too one-sided - but he still needs to fight the best at 140 in Alexander and Khan while they're around. He definately hasn't earned his stripes to be calling out Pac & May yet.

    Maidanas face is gonna be bouncing off Khans heavy jabs all night long.

    I like Marcos, but hes not on the same level as the three young marvels in my opinion.

    I agree. I wasn't sure about him being the #4 in the division though but I now think he is.

    I'm really impressed with Khan's jab though. It's sharp, accurate and very heavy as you say.

    Who's the replacement... Not sure if Duran can hit 140 anymore? Camacho Sr maybe?

    Why are you even saying this when the only old legend he fought was Barrera? And at that time everyone said it was a 50/50 fight. Seriously :patsch

    Khan vs Maidana will be like Khan Vs Kotelnik with Khan running and pecking for 12 rounds and winning a UD in a painfully boring fight. IF it even happens at all. Khan is a fraud

    Then why doesn't he do it to shut people the **** up? Yes he CAN beat Maidana but will they ever fight is the bigger issue here.

    :goodYeah Khan can fight all the boxers he wants to in order to gain confidence but he needs to beat a puncher for his confidence to skyrocket as high as possible. Plus some don't think he can do it.

    That is a very long time for a fight. Hopefully, he will still fight Casa to stay busy.

    He's not. Schaefer said it today.

    Sky is on Holiday at that period.
    There wouldn't be enough time to promote so there would be a bad turnout.
    Not enough time to put a good undercard together.
    Khan would have 4-5 weeks of prep.

    So it's not happening.
