So how would Khan fare against Maidana?

doesn't mean he automatically beats Maidana

edit. Forget it... I just saw your location now i understand the comment

 

Except Punching power he aint got noffing nd dont forget Khan is improving after every fight so say after 2 or 3 fights i will pick khan witout any hasitation.

 

I will pick Khan; take away maidana punching power,smouther him do what-ever.Just do not get caught on the outside.But like I said, Maidana is all power he can't box. Khan takes him to school possibly stop Maidana.

 

Kotelnik nearly punched through Khan's guard a few times.

Therefore, one can conclude that Maidana would smash it.

The end.

 

I'll go majority.

 

Khan outpoints him in a landslide.
Maidana is one dimensional and Ortiz was a better boxer that him.
Khan won't get dragged into a brawl and can only improve at his new weight. I expect him to develop more power too, so I expect him to start putting more hurt on his opponents.

 

Agreed. But Maidana lost to Kotelnik, so he's obviously also beatable. Don't doubt that Khan's team would be asking themselves exactly why he did.

As it is, Maidana's game plan won't change much. Khan's chin may be his weakness. Problem is, Khan might come to the fight with a better game plan than Maidana's route-1 'punch him in the chin'.

Tough call. Because we know less about Khan, and he's certainly evolving as a fighter - and fast, I'd go for Khan over 12.

 

The fact that Kotelnik beat Maidana doesn't change the fact Khan will get KO'ed by Maidana. He will dodge the fight in my eyes.

 

Since Roach wanted Valero for Khan previously, I can't see them hiding from Maidana as he has nowhere near the power of Valero.

 

No doubt Warren will push for the Morales fight anyway. £££

People always get carried away for at least a week or two after a good performance.

 

If I were Frank Warren, Maidana and Bailey are the two guys I'd keep Amir Khan way the hell away from.
