    People are forgetting just how great Khan is and that Maidana has beaten no one and is firmly a safe opponent coming off a win against an hype job.

    Nobody is saying Khan isnt great, he just hasnt got a great chin and if Maidana lands he will knock him out.

    Well to be honest we still dont know if Khan's chin/taking a punch has improved since he's been with Roach, the Kotelnik and obviosuly Salita fights didn't really give much of an idea, but I do believe Khan can get in and out without Maidana landing much.

    Maidana is shite. Ortiz had him in all sorts of trouble and is nowhere near as good as Khan. Ortiz got sloppy and was punished. Khan will shut him out completely and stop him

    That piece replicates Warren's interview with Sky Sports - it doesn't actually say Khan's taking the fight, just that it's going to purse bids.

    Still, I think Khan will take the fight.

    Khan needs to work on footwork, and NOT trading shots. Box all night long.

    Sounds good to me , Maidana is strong but he's too wild for someone as accurate and fast handed as Khan

    So long as he keeps his head on he'll eat this kid up.

    Im so happy he's taking this fight I want a champ to be proud of.

    Haye , Khan and Froch out there takin on the world , gotta love it

    Unless I'm mistaken a fair few of your posts are wind ups (not as much as China Hand Joe)

    However this is pretty accurate summary, intentional or not

    Ortiz bottled it and even Kotelnik edged Maidana out, controversial scoring or not

    Khan should have enough savvy and skill to win this

    If I remember correctly, he was working on a "chin improvement programme" at one stage. It basically consisted of repeatedly grinding your jaw against the ground to "deaden the nerves" and make it less sensitive. No joke.
