    Maidana didn't really lose to Kotelnik. Maidana was robbed. And how is it that Ortiz is ruined? PAc wasn't ruined by Torrecampo or Singsurat when he lost by ko twice in 3 rounds to those guys. Give Ortiz time.

    Hagler robbed Mugabi of all his skills the night he mauled him. Second, Norris was bigger than those guys and Brown knocked his as out. Norris is overrated in every way, and he ducked the Jackson rematch. Norris was never great.

    Khan should go ahead and knock Alexander out now.

    i want to see khan get beat up, he'd probably outbox bradley and alexander to be honest, Khan Marquez sounds great, but at 140? Interesting bout. Ortiz has power in both hands and nice combinations, but he still looks shaky to me, Maidana will crack that dudes jaw in 5 rounds

    I would really love to c Khan vs Judah @ 140 if not then I'd settle for Kahn vs Maidana either way he will b tested...I dnt like the JMM fight, I think Juan should stay and defend his titles @ 135

    Khan can handle Ortiz or Maidana.

    Again you type non-sense. Terry was a small JMW so he never had a size advantage over anyone besides Meldrick Taylor. Yes Brown knocked him out but Terry completely outclassed him in the rematch, and Mugabi was on a 11 fight win streak going into the Norris fight and nobody was saying **** about him being shot till after Terry knocked Mugabi's overrated ass out. And Terry never ducked a Jackson rematch that was never offered to him in the first place.

    For me the Marquez fight is the best one.

    Marquez would beat the **** out of Maidana and Ortiz

    JMM would beat Ortiz/Maidana bad, he is the toughest of the 3.

    How do you know Pac wasn't ruined? All he does is handpick tailor made opponents.

    I think JMM wont take the 140 fight with Khan, with that being said Khan should then fight Maidana and get him out of the way.

    While the fight with JMM would be a good fight, he's risking facing the same criticism that he got when he beat Barerra. Beating Judah would leave him with similar criticism.

    Ortiz, while being a quality fighter, still has a lot to prove after Maidana took his heart last year. I don't feel he proved that by beaten a faded Nate Cambell.

    A Hatton fight would be a huge money fight, but I don't think that Hatton has a prayer of getting down to 140 and/or being competitive at this rate. He looked gaunt going into the fight with Pacquaio.

    For legacy and respect, his best options at 140 are Maidana, who's arguably his most dangerous fight at 140 or Timothy Bradley, who's is the concensus #1 fighter at 140 lbs.

    Thats not relevant here though, Khan has a history of avoiding punchers and only fighting guys he has a serious size advantage over or feather fisters


    Maidana has something to expose Khans great weakness, his fragile glass jaw.

    You can bet the farm he wont fight Maidana next. :yep

    If Khan has such a fragile jaw, why would it need a massive puncher to expose it?

    Why will none of the haters answer this simple question?
