    Despite a few posts here and there iv been quite neutral on khan, i think there are fighters in the ring top 10 he would beat but there are guys who are not even in the top 10 in a weight division below him that could even spark him, that said i do not think he stands a good chance against maidana, khans problem lies technically he still makes quite a few mistakes and although hes improved in some areas there are other aspects to his game which have not been ironed out, i think in order to fight the perfect fight against maidana you need extremely good footwork i think khans footwork is ok, hatton in his prime had much better feet then khan, i think maidana will have a hard time catching up with khan early on, but will eventually have him out of there by the middle rounds, khans problem is his style is better suited to a counter puncher over which he has reach and height advantage over some1 like a JMM a pressure fighter whos P4P the hardest hitter in the division is all wrong for khan, when maidana closes the distance khan wont have a clue about what to do his in fighting sucks and i have never seen him work the body all that well if im honest, although his power is better then average i cant see it disturbing maidana, despite khans antics and idiotic statements annoying me as a brit i want to see him win and do well. i hope he proves me wrong but as it stands i think maidana wins by KO.

    I estimate Khan will not lose a single round of this fight, and will probably stop Maidana within 9 or 10 rounds.

    Khan will school this guy. It will be the bull and the matador.

    And if he does lose why will it be 'over' exactly?

    Especially weird when it's on the back of beating Ortiz. And people have seriously over-rated Maidana's chin. If Ortiz hadn't decided to go toe-to-toe with a bigger puncher, he'd have knocked Maidana out.

    The only chance Maidana's got is to catch Amir with a good shot. He hasn't the tools, style or mentality to box the disciplined fight that would let him land those shots. his only hope is that Khan gets over-confident.

    corley did say after the fight maidana doesnt hit as hard as you might think. Still hes got more than enough to put khan away.

    altho saying that i feel ortiz could be the biggest puncher in the division:think

    i sort see this as a similar fight to the khan kotelnik with khan firing off his 3's and 4's and stepping out range for 12 rounds.

    what else can he do:blurp

    Ortiz is very good, criminally under rated right now too. Haven't seen him knock out anyone especially notable, but he throws accurate, hurtful combinations. I can see him beating Alexander, but struggling with Khan and Bradley.

    But there's no one at LWW who's unbeatable.

    It's vacant. Manny vacated when he opted to fight Margarito.

    Alexander-Bradley would have decided the championship until Kotelnik beat/lost to him. Now we'll have to wait till Khan gubs Maidana and faces Bradley after he gubs Alexander.
