    Can Khan do what he did against Kotelnik to Maidana?
    Will Khan's chin hold up?


    Thoughts ????

    Maidana would knock Khan out.

    Maidana is very presure fighter I cant see Khan winning in next fight but after 2 more fights then it could be diff story.

    So if they fight next I will go for Maidana tko in mid rounds.

    Khan seems to have the desire to fight back when caught with a solid punch ... will he ever get over the Prescott fight?

    Erm....at the moment, certainly not.

    But in a few fights down the line when Khan improves, then I can see him making it competitive and having a good attempt. But I still see Maidana troubling him when launching his vicious assaults, and Khan hiding in his turtle shell like defence.

    Prescott (as a fighter) proved to be a fluke and Khan's first big test reulted in a KO - when he should've out boxed him. He wasn't tested against another boxer (Kotelnik) he'll be in trouble with guy like Maidana no matter the time.

    I don't think Khan has enough power at 140 to keep Maidana at bay... although I guess the kotelnik fight could be misleading, khan rarely got to land cleanly which could be more because kotelnik has good defense rather than because khan's offense isn't very good.

    I'd want to watch it though, this fight would be nerve wracking for a Khan fan given that a clean punch from Maidana could very well drop Khan.

    Maidana's words ---- "Khan is not a big deal."
    I agree.

    Will Khan fight Maidana after he fights Salita? ... given he gets a win against Salita will he fight Maidana or opt to fight Bradley vs Campbell winner? or try to make a bunch of voluntary defenses?

    Maidana by KO. Too much power for Kahn to handle.

    I think Khan will avoid Maidana, for as long as he can. Probably take the mandatory against Dmitry Salita (very safe fight), then clamor for a fight against a semi-faded Ricky Hatton.
