    I think so, I can see him finishing it in the mid rounds.

    No, he won't.

    He would have to go into and stay in the danger zone for quite a while in order to land enough to stop Maidana. Maidana recovers fast (see Ortiz) so Khan would have to be prepared to eat 3 or 4 of those bomb right hands in order to put Maidana down.

    Khan wide (near shutout) UD or Maidana vicious KO are the only two realistic outcomes for this one.

    He can, but I think he'll lose.

    Aren't you a Khan nuthugger? Shouldn't you be supporting him?

    I don't think so.

    It's not impossible though, with Khan's offense being as good as it is.

    If he fights scared then he won't get the job done.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Amir got a stoppage even in the first half of the fight. Maidana's whiskers are not the most sturdy and he's easy to hit. I don't think Khan will commit enough though, more likely a decision winning almost every round.

    No he will fight too cautious and win a decision

    Depends how he fights. He could be cautious and stay on the outside, happy to take it to points, but if he's a bit more aggressive he could do it. Being aggressive could well get him starched though. I think he might take him out mid to late rounds

    khan UD. But, as always with Amir, the other fella's got a great chance of knocking him out
