Khan: "Malignaggi is Not on My Level, I'll Beat Maidana"

I can't think of many good noobs as yet, Flint is a welcome return.... last year we had plenty.

 

Amir Khan has confirmed his hopes of making his US debut against Paulie Malignaggi and [url]Sky Bet[/url] make the Bolton fighter 1/4 favourite for the bout, which is likely to take place on May 15. Sky Bet go 9/1 for Khan to make a dream debut Stateside by knocking out the ‘Magic Man’ in his home town of New York.

Juan Manuel Marquez had been mooted as a potential opponent for Khan but is believed to have turned down the fight, leaving Malignaggi as Khan’s prime target. The American is 3/1 to beat Khan and it’s 20/1 for him to be beaten in the 11th round, as he was by Ricky Hatton in November 2008.

[url]Sky Bet[/url]’s boxing betting spokesman Scott Springgay said: “Malignaggi should be the perfect opponent for Khan, who is a relatively big name in America but doesn’t carry any sort of punching power so shouldn’t threaten Khan’s chin.

“However, Khan will be looking to better Hatton’s eleventh round stoppage of Malignaggi in order to show the American public what he is made of and make his name as the latest British boxing superstar.”

This threads all wrong.

People getting on the case of a 22yr old fighter and calling him a ducker whilst his career is in it's infancy.

Give yourself a slap clueless ****s.

A few fights down the line if he's fighting bums then fair enough, but not now ffs atsch

 

How about give yourself a slap you ****ing moron. He's a World Champion, if he wasn't ready he shouldn't have assumed that position

 

If he fights either

Mallignaggi
Maidana
Marquez

I say it's good matchmaking and Khan is showing he's got a pair. Although the fighter he is avoiding is Bradley... at this stage anyway. Compared to other Brit fighters at this stage I think he's done quite well with the level of opposition thus far... although would like to see him in with some real big bangers now like Maidana, Valero maybe.

 

You have say Maidana is the more interesting fight though, having a punchers chance at

least. I don't think Malignaggi stands much of a chance against Khan but that would be

the slightly bigger fight, Im not convinced it would be far bigger as others have stated,

also it would be better for Khan to have an exciting fight in the US and I don't think

Malignaggi would provide this, especially if he gets discouraged and starts constantly

clinching like in the Hatton fight. Maidana's lack of defence would make for a good fight

so I think Khan should fight him.

 

Or beacuse their promoter has managed to call in a few favours or influence officals....

 

:good

that seems to be the whole point of the conferences the ABCs hold.
