    just read on another site freddy roach thinks khan could beat maidana, bradley and alexander in one night!! i know he been right in predicting alot of things in the past but maybe he needs to calm himself down a bit and just get khan to fight one of these boys in a night, never mind 3!! or am i wrong and it is possible for khan to do it??

    Beating all 3 in one night is just stupid. Beating 1 is impressive enough.

    Khan would box the ears off Maidana. The other two would be much tougher and unless we see Khan box as he normally does, but against an opponent that hits back, then I'd favour either Alexander or Bradley to beat him.

    People need to get off the Maidana train though, Khan would school him.

    They offered Khan, but the offer wasn't as good as Golden Boys.

    Khan could beat all 3 - on separate nights of course - but all 3 could beat him too. I don't understand this attitude that Khan would school Maidana so we should all just forget about him, it's likely but not a certainty with Khan's chin. It would be very hard for Khan to keep Maidana off him for 12 rounds, all it takes is one punch to change everything. If it was as easy as some make out Khan would have fought him by now.

    I'm not saying we should forget him. If he's a mandatory then Khan should fight him. But people are making out like he's some kind of candyman for Khan. He's not. Yes he has a punch and yes Khan has had chin issues. So of course Maidana has a punchers chance. But Maidana is a plodding, predictable fighter. Khan would run rings around him for 12 rounds.

    A boxer cant fight every other boxer on the planet. I get as pissed off as everyone else when certain fights dont happen (Pac v Floyd, Haye v Klitshcko for example). I just dont think that this fight needs to happen for Khan to prove anything. He should focus on trying to fight Bradley or Alexander rather than Maidana.

    I think Urango would be a tougher fight for him than Maidana. Maidana's rep is garnered pretty much on the back of his win over Ortiz. That was a massive shock and I was gutted that Ortiz got beat as I really rated him at the time. But Maidana is not worthy of the hype that is buzzing around him. He's a solid contender with a sick punch. But he's extremely limited and Khan would eat him up.

    Roach talks such bollocks at times. He needs to realize he's a trainer and not a fighter.

    That's what I don't get, Maidana is slow, predictable, Khan would eat him alive, he is overhyped and overrated after his win over Ortiz but Khan still won't fight him? I would have thought he'd want to take the credit for ending the Maidana hype and stop people calling him a ducker for avoiding his mandatory, especially as most people think it's an easy fight for him. Something doesn't add up there.
