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

Point taken. But is there anybody who's had an easier route

 

To get a title shot.....Maidana and Salita , and an absolute whole host of others.

 

Fighters from Germany always seem to have an easier route aswell to a world title.

 

How about the UK? Just in recent years we've seen Rees, Lockett, Jennings, Witter's second stab at a title against Alexander, Woods, Froch, and some might even argue Haye against Valuev. As Icemax alluded to, we could name names for hours- easy title shots are part of and will continue to be part of boxing. Khan just seems to get an inordinate amount of stick for things that many others have done as well. It truly amazes me how far some people go out of their way to hate on a successful British athlete and the double-standards they have when they go about dismissing him.

 

Salita had by far the easiest route to a world title fight.

Not many guys get ditched by two promoters (Arum and DiBella) because the fighter is unwilling to fight certain opponents.... this was in an issue of boxing monthly a few months ago.

I mean, he didn't beat any fighter that wouldn't have been smacked into next week by whoever was the British champion at the time.

 

The excuses for not fighting Maidina are a joke. I like Khan but find it laughable hearing him try to justify why he isnt fighting Maidina.

Also a win over Paulie doesnt make Khan a 'star'. Anyone who thinks that needs to get off the crack.

 

Well I dont agree with what you said for me pesonally.

I do agree - there is a British Mentality of loving a good loser like Frank Bruno and hating a winner.

However.

I said Hamilton was a ****.

And I said I dont like Khan as well.

But the key thing is here - I think Hamilton is obviously a very good driver to be World Champion and Khan is obviously a very talented boxer to be Olympic Champion and World paper Champion.

All I am saying is - I dont really like them - as a person.

Its not a question of their ability or what they have achieved.

For example:

Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Chris Eubank
Nigel Benn
Naseem Hamed
Oscar De La Hoya
James Toney
Roy Jones Jnr
Felix Trinidad
etc
etc

All the above fighters are more successful than Khan and alot of them have made more money than Khan, etc

But I was and am fans of the above fighters simply cos I liked them win lose or draw

People got to accept - blind hate against Khan is wrong BUT I dont like Khan - cos I dont want to - I dont warm to him - you cant force someone to like someone.

 

Why do people assume on here that Khan makes his own fights?! :think Must be one of the few out there who does...

 

Ortiz may not of been a top top guy but lets not kid ourselves here. Its not like Khan has beaten anyone that much better than Ortiz.

Maidina isnt a great fighter and Khan has the tools to outbox him however for me its a far more interesting fight than the Paulie option. Maidina bangs and I am still waiting for the Khan camp to make a fight v someone who can punch.

 

So you would rather Khan fight someone (Maidana) who can bang but is so plodding that he might not actually lay a glove on him all fight, rather than take on a featherfist who can match the Brits speed and who also has a decent chance of winning :huh

BTW, Ortiz is a tin man

 

Does anyone know what diet Khans nutrionist has put him on ?

I mean to a killer whale a seal is 180LBS of protein scoffed in one.

You need the right solid foods to help you grow strong and give you energy.

 

Mitchell was in the paper yesterday - said he wants to fight Khan but Khan dont fancy it or the fight would have been made by now.

Also said that Khan was wrong to dump Warren.

Says he thinks that Americans will not warm to Khan.

When he trys to crack America he will take Frank with him (not dump him)

Believe in loyalty to Warren.

Fights this Saturday at Wembley in World title elimanator as Warren celebrates 30 years in promotion.

Warren also promoted Frank Sinatra.

 

Warren won't want Mitchell to go to America.

No disrespect, but Khan has way bigger fish to fry than Mitchell, it's easy to run your mouth off when you know that there won't be any consequences :deal

 

:rofl

So true. Why should Khan suddenly make a fight with some chap down at Lightweight who has only just moved up? If he ever did, and won it would only be another 'Blown up Super Feather' on his record.

 

I agree with the "bigger fish to fry" comment

Mitchell simply aint big enough name for Khan as things stand.

Khan is a bigger star than Mitchell - and always has been throughout the pro ranks.

If Mitchell can win a World title - and build a profile as a solid World Champion than maybe it might happen.

But as it stands - Khan is targeting big fights in America not the local boy down the road who no-one knows of in the states.
