The hell are you talking about? Maidana has been his mandatory for over a year - he got paid off. :yep How has he not taken the path of least resistance? He avoided the top British lightweights, then won the title of [in his own words] "the worst world champion there is." He had absolutely no problem fighting Salita when he was the mandatory did he? None at all, because Salita is a light-hitting bum. :hey Then he picks B level never was feather-fisted Paulie, because that was a good fight for "US exposure." Yeah, nothing to do with the fact that Amir has an egg chin and Paulie literally cannot crack an egg.:rofl Maidana did not get schooled AT ALL, you obviously have never watched that fight. Maidana may be crude but he will get to Khan, and when he does, the lights will go out and the kid will be sleeping. I cannot wait.:deal :smoke
It would have been a better response if Ortiz couldn't box, which he clearly can and if the Kotelnik - Maidana fight wasn't such a close one which a lot of people think Maidana won. But yeah other than that, quality response :good
Khan did the right thing by not wasting his time with the British lightweights, otherwise he would have been on Frank Warrens eternal merry go round, where the winner gets a title shot next year. Imagine if Calzaghe had mvoed into the US market earlier? People today would respect him more, so Khan did the right thing. He took on a world class coach and is training with world class fighters. Maidanas lucky he got his tuition fees paid for him because Khan is going to take him to school. As Lennox Lewis once said about David Tua "Itll take more than a left hook and a haircut to beat me". Salita is a light hitting bum and he got treated like one by getting KTFO in the first round, once again i ask u, did u pick Salita to KO Khan? (I bet you did) He fought Paulie because he wanted to break into the US market, nothing wrong with that. Paulie M is a decent name to have on your resume, he might be light hitting but hes fought the likes of Cotto and Hatton so he aint no pushover. Khans mixing with the world class, But no according to you he should be fighting the likes of Murray, Thaxton, btw where are they ranked at the moment? Khans ranked as one of the top 3/4 of his weight division, he would never have achieved that if he had stayed with Warrens merrygo rounds
I was just trying to use his logic, if Khan is a hypejob for being KOd by Prescott, then Maidana is just as bad, even worse because he lost to a guy Khan BEAT.
I'm just kidding around. I think Khan has too much for Maidana anyway, if he wins this impressively he should get a lot of credit.
Nah he wont, i dont think There will be threads the very next day (i guarantee u) Maiadana was overrated etc etc, Khan ran all night etc etc His chin still hasnt been tested etc etc Whose Maidana ever beat etc etc Some fighters, no matter what they do can never please the critics. I think Khan fits into this category. Same with Pac, Floyd, Klits, no matter what they do, their always critisized.
I am not saying he should fight Murray and Thaxton now FFS, where did I say that? And no I didn't pick Salita by KO. Paulie has been soundly beaten by any top boxer he's ever faced. And scraped past a few C class fighters too. He's nothing special, at all. Getting the **** beaten out of you by Hatton & Cotto doesn't mean you are "no pushover." Khan has taken the path of least resistance so far in his career - I do not know how you cannot see this. Well, now, it's been taken out of Team Khan's hands, it was either give up his belt or fight hard-hitting Maidana. This will be an easy nights work for Marcus - I personally guarantee it. As for your Warren "merrygo round" line, that is absolute bull****. You know which fights Frank had lined up for Amir just before Amir ditched him? Bradley and Maidana. Maidana was going to purse bids 2 days after GBP signed Khan.
I used to give Khan a lot of **** but he's taking this fight against a very big puncher, so win or lose I'll give him credit. But you know some people just want to see Khan fail, that's their agenda which won't change no matter what he does so **** them :good
Trust me, don't waste your time with the guy you're talking with. You will not get anywhere no matter how well pointed what you've wrote is. If he get's cornered, he logs off.
