Saw this posted on another forum, apparently it's from a photo shoot today and was posted on Khan's Twitter. This content is protected Khan looks really heavy in this particular picture. It's funny because at the UK presser Khan made a comment that he believed Maidana would struggle to make the weight because of how puffy he looked in the face. But Maidana (although it looks like he's sucking his gut in ) looks to be more fit than Khan. Sure, the fight is nearly 2 months away, and he'll have plenty of time to cut the weight. But I don't think cutting so much weight is going to do his punch resistance (the litte he has) any favors.
They both look out of shape... maybe because Maidana fought recently he looks in better shape? When it comes down to fight time they will both be shredded..
That's...odd, I've never seen Khan look that out of shape in his entire career. Maybe just the pic angle/quality? We'll see I suppose.
Both will look fine by fight time, don't worry. Have to give credit to Khan for taking this fight even though I hate him.
Yeah he does look out of shape, but he has 2 months, so should be alright, just depends what weight he is sitting at
I think it was Fatty Rafael who said the other day Khan would be out of shape because everyone of his twitter updates were either he'd just eaten or he was on his way out to eat.
That tubby blob Rafael would know a lot about eating out. He's sponsored by McDonalds. :rofl:rofl This content is protected This content is protected
He does look a little heavy, but he's bound to be outside of fights with that frame, you just never really see it. He's got plenty of time to cut the weight and shape up and one of the best conditioners in the business in Ariza, so he'll be fine.
wow after looking at that pic I see why they are talking about Khan vs Mayweather because he really only has 2 fights left at 140 before he wouldn't be able to make it
Thats probably water weight, when you have been Boxing for so many years, your body retains more water, that said, look the significance in build, Khan looks like a skinny blown up kid, Maidana looks bull like.
