    i think kotelnik will beat khan,i can't see much if any improvement in khan from the 2 fights with ***an and MAB,
    i think MAB should be given another shot,that fight was a sham,and anyone who know's boxing knows it 2:good
    as for maidana,not sure if ive seen him,but if he can punch and world class than he will beat khan:bbb

    I think Khan wins. Khan will be a total monster at 140 and guys like Maidana just won't be able to contend with him.

    Maidana is powerful but very basic with an "ugly" wide looping style.
    Hes also pretty slow, kahns speed should be enough to win him a fight against this fella but Maidana looked to have decent power in the right hand and his record backs this up so it would be a case of Khan having to be careful but he would be light years faster than this guy based on the other night it would be a fun fight

    Maidana KOs him painfully inside 3 rounds. Stylewise, Khan has a shot at the relatively light punching Kotelnik, but Maidana ruins him as does anyone who can punch a bit at 140!

    if khan has improved at 140 this could be FOTY quality......one of the aspects i think is underrated in maidana's game is his speed.......i would pick maidana by mid to lat KO.....

    maidana vs bradley vs khan could be for the lineal 140 title in 2-3 years IMO.......once manny retires....

    I thought he was slow as hell as soon as the fight went into the 2nd round he was getting wider and slower................................ that was the 1st time ive seen him so maybe i should look for some more fights

    watch the kotelnik fight he looked slow as hell....i thought he was clearly faster against ortiz....maidana is the most underrated man at 140.....NO WAY! khan can KO kotelnik, but this is boxing anything can happen....

    maidana struggles early on, he did with kotelnik as well, but makes a run in the mid-rounds

    i dont think so, but i would have to see amir's power at 140.......i wouldnt be shocked if we have the good ole boxing triangle theory.....

    kotelnik beats maidana....khan beats kotelnik.....maidana beats khan.....styles make fights....

    Depends which khan turns up. The Khan who was open against Presscott would get sparked up and start doing a whole new chicken dance. So unless he's improved under Kotelnik then we'll see. But the problem is with someone like Maidana can Khan even take one of his shots? Cause ortiz got hit flush on a number of occasions and that dude can bang

    How people can say he has improved since Prescott is beyond me. Unless they mean he is now capable of reaching round 2 ? He beat an overmatched fighter in a confidence booster. He was then pitched in against a 35 year old former bantamweight, ok it was Barrera, he cut him in the first with a butt, BADLY. Barrera is blinded and hit with everything and never hurt, he wobbled Khan once. But he only hit him ONCE. Khan in every fight he has against anyone who can punch has to box perfectly, he is one punch away from disaster. It is no coincidence he has jumped ( ran away from Marquez ) to light welter, and also not gone near the puncher champions in the division. Khan has everything a fighter needs , speed, balance, heart except for power and resistance.

    Khan is unlikely to beat Kotelnik.
