    Imagine if Maidana comes back and fights Khan now at 154, how would that go? Could be a pretty fun fight, who knows what Maidana would look like after that layoff, and we all know Khan is basiclly done.

    I don't think it is a fun fight. Maidana quit boxing because he was in high heaven with a lot of money and now he decides to come back and thinks he can just resume his career. We will see. I don't think it is that easy. He should have kept on going when he was still sharp. Not many guys can just come out of retirement and do well. If he can just come back and swing punches like he used to maybe, but he will not be the same. And Khan? He will win the fight as long as he is not hit, then if he is hit it becomes the gamble his fights always are.

    The amount of time it will take Maidana to get into shape will be just right for Khan to grow a pair of balls and get a heart transplant

    Maidana wrecks him. Chinos game evolved while Khan's not so much.

    Some interesting trivia:
    Maidana threw only 91 jabs vs Devon Alexander over 10 rounds.
    Maidana threw over 300 jabs vs Mayweather.

    I'm a khan fan but maidana is still an animal and would probably put a beating on khan
