Wtf are you talking about? Show me some ACTUAL PROOF of a 3 fight step aside deal. Maidana could enforce his mandatory any day of the week. But he's not.
people love spouting this **** about how khan paid off maidana. but they are promoted by the same people ive not seen any proof that this "3 fights or 1 year" deal took place.
agreed. This fight is a bit disappointing seeing that chop is shot. W/ all the **** that's been going on in maidana's camp, i din't expect a big fight, but damn. I'm sure he'll be in w/ a good name at least by next fight if hbo has plans on him fighting any of the top guys.
Noooooooooooooooo boxed ears stop that , put on the SNV album it will south your aching soul and take you away , he has a cover song on the album he sings sail away by enya , let yourself sail away boxed ears away....
A guys gotta make a paycheck now and again. This fight is just a sparring session and his adoring public in Argentina won't have any compliants if he kills him in 2 rounds.
Luf, please think man. You know damn well that Maidana ain't afraid of any fighters. He would enforce his mandatory if he wasn't co promoted by gbp. The reason of all this mess is cause of Maidana manager that messed everything up. How can Maidana fight Bradley if he don't know what offer was? That's not right. And since all of that, Maidana had no choice but to fight a shot over the hill Chop Chop. But it's just a stay busy fight.
Ive got a lot of love for Chop Chop, but he is so far beyond shot its ridiculous. There's no benefit to making this fight at this point in time.
Lets put the clues together: Fight hasn't happened Title holder has not been stripped. Champion on record multiple times as saying he wants the fight Challenger on record as saying he was going to have two or three more fights to build up his name before enforcing the mandatory. Even Detective Homojeromo can connect the dots, surely?
Maidana gets a pass from a lot of people. Has the chance to fight Khan but doesn't enforce the mandatory....hey, have a pass. Has the chance to fight Bradley, but turns it down because he wants more money....hey, have a pass. Claims to be the WBA champion, when he actually holds an interim title...aww, well he doesn't speak English does he, give him a pass. It can't be both ways here. If you think Maidana is part of a 'big four' in the division, he should be held to the same standards as the rest. So, be honest here, imagine what you would say if Amir Khan turned down a fight with Tim Bradley because he wanted more money and then fought Corley instead :deal
So who is Khan going to fight if Maidana is fighting Corley, Marquez is fighting Katsidis and Alexander and Bradley are going to fight each other? Ortiz? Zab? Urango?
