Amir Khan: I Want To Fight The Winner Of Maidana-Bradley

Course you do Con, course you do.

 

JMM has already turned down a chance to fight Khan.

 

Nothing new here, Khan's said this previously.

 

Yeah JMM good enough for Floyd, but not for Khan. I guess he knew all along his fight with Floyd was just a big pay day.

 

He said he wanted Maidana, Warren got close to signing it, and then Khan moves to Goldenboy for "bigger challenges" and signs for Paulie Feathernaggi.

 

Yeah and Khan also signed GBP to fight non-punchers for the next 8 years and keep his title.

Paulie is a showcase fight, to make Khan known to the U.S.

 

so he wants to get ktfo

 

It's going to happen, but maybe not the next fight. Depending on his performance against Malignaggi, he could be fighting the big fights pretty soon.

Let's not forget that when Roach first took Pacquiao under his wing he was a decent fighter but never looked like he would turn out to be elite.

Khan is technically sound and works hard in the gym. With the right strategy (and it usually is right when you've got Roach in the corner) he could be the man at 140 very soon.

The Malignaggi fight was right to build his profile in America. He's only 22 years old, there's no point doing a Vargas and throwing him in with the wolves too early, or giving him big fights for loose change when he could be making much more money once people know who he is (in America). Being from the Wild Card gym and having won an olympic gold can make that happen quicker than usual.

 

Maidana is the guy who GBP paid to stay clear of Khan for three fights.. Maidana is the guy who would knock Khan out cold.

 

I've been around this sport for much too long to take anything Khan says seriously, Khan is a carefully managed puppet.

There's a reason the likes of Kotelnik and Malignaggi has been on the menu for the young Khan. His handlers are not likely to have him fighting the winner of Maidana - Bradley or Devon Alexander anytime soon.

Expect them to viciously hunt for a JMM or Hatton fight next.

Khan is still a year or two away from being at risk against a murderous puncher.

 

Maidana is a bum puncher, Khan would school him and knock him out.

 

Maidana is the guy who no one outside of the deepest boxing circles has heard of, not an ideal fight to make your US debut with, he will face a puncher sooner than later.
