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

Paulie a good fight for Khan as his U.S debut, he is good in most area's and is a good boxer. Khan needs to be tested on a boxing level where he might have to think, change style, adapt, and over come maybe losing a round or two and coming back. Its a good fight for him to look good in if he plays his cards right.

Thinking about it Khan needs a good 12 rounds of thinking boxing by mid May it will be around a year till he fought Kotelnik and since then he has only faced Salita for 70 secs, he needs some rounds.

 

Reading through some of the comments here reminds me why I want Khan to succeed so much. Whatever he does won't be enough for some and some of the double standards here are amazing. 'Khan's a **** for saying this/that; Khan's ducking a one-dimensional hypejob who no-one cared about before Ortiz; Khan is not facing the WBA's joke 'interim belt' holder':boohoo. I hope Khan beats Malignaggi and gets the exposure he craves in America, I then hope he gets some unification fights whilst outclassing everyone out there at 140 as well and I also hope he becomes a huge star in the sport. I would love to see what people say then.

Give credit where it's due, people. Khan's career was apparently beyond revival after the Prescott disaster and since then he has completely outclassed one of the most underrated fighters at 140 whilst raising his profile once again.

 

Khan gets credit by me for beating Kotelnik as i rated Kotelnik, but he is/was one of the weaker champions.

Also why Khan has revived his career its been well managed, and until his opposition goes to the next level then i cant get behind him.

But Malignaggi is a good step forward and a fight he may lose.

 

To be fair, Maidana had his chance before Khan and blew it...Marcos got his shot by beating a 19-11 fighter. If we are going to judge, then lets judge evenly :thumbsup

 

Whether this is true or not, its certainly not what his trainer suggested

 

:conf

Sorry Icemax

Didnt mean to offend you - I know your a Khan fan.

I'm just being a bit of a **** I suppose - and just having a pop at Khan for the sake of it.

All I can say is - was his last fight really a madatory ?

God what a awful undeserving madatory fighter he turned out to be. :-(

 

Get to the general forum, they'll love you there, what a stupid comment

I see what you've done there, clever play on words, well done thumbsup

 

True.

I just hope Maidana doesnt get pushed to the back. Not saying he is going to be great or even beat Khan but i think he will be fun while he is around:good

 

I'm not really a Khan fan, I think he's a bit of a one trick pony, I just hate to see all this naked ****ing hatred against a bloke who actually hasn't done much wrong.

Salita was a horrible mando, but that unfortunately is the way the game goes. Normally the pay off for fighting such dross is that next time out you are able to pick who the **** you want to fight...Khan seems to be judged by different standards

 

Well I'm just playing up to be a bit of a **** just for fun of it.

But on a serious point - Khan is the type of person who inspires jealousy more than other fighters.

I think because people feel he is a average fighter who has been draped in Emperors clothing and received royal treatment.

I think its more resentment than jeaously.

For example - I didnt feel the same way towards fighters like Lennox Lewis and Naseem Hamed and Joe Calzaghe.........and these are fighters who to date have earned more money and had more success than Khan.

But those fighters were for real - so I dont resent them for it.

All I can say is Khan has got the rest of his career to turn people around.

If he shows he is a true champion - over the next few years - then he might change my feelings toward him.

 

:thumbsup

Great avatar BTW, best set of whiskers in boxing history

 

tommy hearns

 

The real road to success awaits Khan across the water, we as Brits should get behind our fighter, its a hard feat he is trying to achieve, but instead hate is mostly what haunts Khan here, no wonder he's left us.

Lets hope he makes new fans around the world when he fights in the states, ones which will be more fond of his talents.

 

I've missed you :-(

 

Do you feel Khan has received more hate than the average British Boxing Star ?
