I dont mind the fight with Maidana, but WBA are taking the **** 2 mandatories in a row, they should let Khan pick his next fight then force the Maidana fight.
Yep and a good thing too, IMO. I have turned into a bit of a Khan nuthugger after Prescott and I would be dissapointed if he didn't take the fight as I believe he has a very good chance of winning and if he just vacated the title it would come across as a ducking of a bout with Maidana. Regardless of the belt, it's an interesting fight anyway so I hope it does happen.
In fairness Darni, I'd rather have two mandatories than another co-existing WBA champion :think Plus Salita was bloody awful, his story was quite good, but **** me, the way he was smacked into next week by a cuffing shot was embarrassing :-( It would answer a lot of questions about Khan if he could beat Maidana, especially by stoppage, beating Malignaggi is alright and all, but it's only a year ago that Hatton destroyed him, Diaz looked porky at the weight as well.
Yeah if it is the case Khan should take the fight, i dont want him to vacate the belt that would suck. Maidana is a puncher but not really a good boxer Khan can outbox him.
True, this will be a real good test for Khan, But i think Warren will stage the fight here in U.K, he wont want Khan to make his debut in the U.S vs a puncher in case it all goes pear shaped.
If I was Roach I would get Prescott in as a sparing partner, he wont cost to much now, also Khan can release some demons with him. Sparing Manny will never be bad also.
Well, with Urango-Alexander as good as finalised for early March, this would make sense on that undercard whether it be a late card over here which would then go to the States or if it were Khan's American debut:think. I think the plan would still be Pacquiao if the Foreman fight goes ahead as Khan is the same height. Let's face it, Khan in sparring would be a bigger test than the actual fight with Foreman.
If Pacquiao is fighting Foreman they would be made for each other probably. Maidana is almost as right hand happy than Pac ever was with the left.... maybe Pac could go orthodox for a bit to adjust the angle... maybe it wouldn't really matter, at least the shots are coming from the backhand, and quickly. I wouldn't choose Khan as a principal sparring partner for Mayweather though..... not quite sure who I'd get actually for that contest. Steve Forbes is probably a bit past it, and fairly slow.
I was thinking that also, but will Warren allow that?, maybe with Khan promotions it might be out of his hands even taking the fight could be out of his hands. Ask Khan he will fight Maidana in U.S March 6 on Devon-Urango bill. Lets hope this is the case.
Why would anyone care about Khan's opinion - he's not exactly the sharpest tool in the toolbox is he? Plus, he's not going to say anything that might upset Roach.
It was blow way out of proportion. if he tested positive for High levels of HGH i'd understand the commotion but he didnt, its not difficult to detect if an athlete is getting juiced on steroids,its just like 1 fighter blaming another fighter for having loaded gloves, when theres no proven evidence just speculation
He wouldn't say anything he just go on about how great Manny and Alex are and he thinks Floyds scared of Manny and looking for a way out of the fight etc. If he said different to that then i be shocked.
