Khan: "Malignaggi is Not on My Level, I'll Beat Maidana"

[ciaran]

i hope mallinaggi beats him and shuts the cocky cunt up

[skel1983]

Not a big enough name my fucking arse!

Maidana was in one of the fights of the year on the second biggest ppv of the year .

[Mazallan]

Khan say's what we are all thinking.

[Mookhound]

If he fights Maidana after Malignaggi, fair enough. If he doesn't, I think his career is being terribly mishandled.

[loughlan]

Khan say's what we are all thinking.

We are all thinking that he is pissing his pants at the prospect of fighting his mandatory and is desperately clutching at straws to come up with an excuse why the fight shouldn't happen,did he say that??

Maidana is a joke fight and not worthy of getting knocked out by Khan. Amir needs to be fighting people on his level not bums. He beat his mandatory in Salita so should now go for the big money fights.

[HitmanHatton]

Not a big enough name my fucking arse!

Maidana was in one of the fights of the year on the second biggest ppv of the year .

Hes fighting Malignaggi in MSG, I dont think he can get a much bigger start to his American career than that. Fighting Maidana wouldnt generate half the interest this fight would generate IMO.

[BoroBoxing1]

Who does Khan think he is, I hope Malignaggi bashes him.

[loughlan]

Maidana is a joke fight and not worthy of getting knocked out by Khan. Amir needs to be fighting people on his level not bums. He beat his mandatory in Salita so should now go for the big money fights.

Salita was worthy but Madaina isn't?He's running scared,that much is obvious.Why is Khan risking been labelled as a ducker and losing any respect he might have got in the US by avoiding a fight wih a "bum" who he would beat easily?

[FLINT ISLAND]

Regardless of what Khan thinks dosent matter.

The rules of boxing are there for a reason and should be enforced.

Madatory challengers are there because they have worked their way up to that postion and deserve their chance.

There have been many World Champions who have taken a fight they didnt want to take but had to do so to fufil their mandoatory obligations.

Khan should be stripped of the title now - and labelled as a fighter who ducks and cherry picks fights.

Salita was not worthy but he got himself into mandatory position. Khan embarrassed him and now does not have to fight against chumps like him and Maidana for a awhile.

Khan wants JMM but he is running scared. Khan would love to fight Hatton but he would rather retire than get another huge beating.

Fighting Maidana proves nothing to nobody. If they fought Khan would destroy him and the haters would sigh that Maidana had never beaten anybody and that he was only in the ring to make Khan look good.

Khan should fight Malinfaggi because he has a decent name and is on a good run and the Americans know him, he can pull a good crowd too. Once Khan knocks him out the American boxing public will sit up and take notice of his greatness but no doubt you haters will still find something to quibble about.

I forgot that the WBA was a Boxing organisation full of integrity who worked for the good of Boxing and enforced everything by the book.

:lol:JMM is ducking Khan,yeah right bud,lay off the crackpipe...I'm no hater but if Khan doesn't fight Maidana he should be striped of his title so the "bum" who worked his way to the mandatory position can get a crack at it,meantime Khan can beat up on as many featherfists as he and Roach can find...simple

[FLINT ISLAND]

Khan stands for everything that is wrong with boxing................


Fame and Glory and Money lavished upon a mere teenager quickly turns him into a naccisisst who thinks he is cheese.

Preens around in expensive clothes and lavish cars and knocks a guy over because he is showing off in his Mercedes

Pays for the top lawyers to get him off lightly

Thinks he is THE MAN and out to impress all the girls - thinking he is cheese.

Autobiographys released at 19/ 20 years old before he has even won a title.

Special treatment - while solid pro's watch on with resentment.

Cocky and disrespectful to fellow pros.

Down and out against Willie Linmond and exposed as a glass jawed flawed fighter.....................but the ref gives him a extra long count to save him

Smashed out qucikly by Bedis Presscot - a pay per view rip off - for a fighter who is only a commonwealth champion (very greedy putting him on pay per view so qucikly)

Picks on faded legends like Barrera to deceive how good he is.

Has the media and Ian Darke all behind him calling him a "untouchable superstar" trying to make us forget he was smashed out by Presscot

Gets a world title shot soon after despite being smashed out not long before

Fucks off ****** once ****** has done the groundwork to make him a star

Ducks and dives out of mandatorys

Talented boxer - but he is a fraud in what he stands for and means to the sport of boxing.

[NO MAS]

This fight is all about an impressive look good start to his career in the USA...:yep

Doing the business against a New Yorker in his own backyard...:yep

He will fight them at his own pace and in his own order...:good

JMM knows if he fights against another world class fighter above 135 he will get embarrassed again so he wants nothing to do with Khan. He would no doubt be happy to fight the other champs.



Your retarded. Khan beat his mand so now has some time to fight legit contenders and not some guy who has been built up to make him look good. Maidana has been fed guys to build his record up so when he loses at the top level the opponents win will not look shite. Khan destroys him.

But he has a tough act to follow if he wants to live up to Naz's USA debut by knocking out a New Yorker in his own backyard..........................

You are in denial,either that or you are just plain stupid.

So Khan should fight a guy with one ok win against an average prospect or go to New York to fight a top class fighter in his own back yard?

Your either retarded or just a plain hater.

and mallinaggi is worthy ??? maidana imo is more of a threat to khan he showed against ortiz last year hes can get up from being put on his arse and he can bang aswell

[BIG WORM]

wot a cunttttttttttttttttt

fuckin boy needs sparking out in dramatic fashion - seriously gets on my tits dis boy

SMH

He just beat Juan Diaz and has been round the top of the division for awhile. Malinfaggi for Khans first fight in the US is a great start.


Maidana is a nobody who has beaten nobody and he will never beat anybody. Khan beating him means nothing. He can bang at his level. May as well put Khan in with Jason Cook.

Khan should fight his MANDATORY or give up his title,if he is not man enough to defend his title he should be striped of it,is that too hard for you to get your head around?For someone who is so quick to call others retarded you seem to have a hard time grasping a very simple concept...

Fuck sake. Salita was his mandatory. Khan has a space of time to take voluntaries (who will all be better than Maidana).

-So what? That's what comes with winning an olympic medal at such a young age.

Preens around in expensive clothes and lavish cars and knocks a guy over because he is showing off in his Mercedes

-So what? If you had millions in the bank would you ride an old banger and wearing old rags? I wouldn't, I'd wear expensive stuff.

Pays for the top lawyers to get him off lightly

-LOL. What boxer doesn't? Geez :patsch

Thinks he is THE MAN and out to impress all the girls - thinking he is cheese.

-WTF? He's even said he doesn't want to involve any girls and wants to focus on boxing.

Autobiographys released at 19/ 20 years old before he has even won a title.

-It's his life, not yours - He can do what he wants!

Special treatment - while solid pro's watch on with resentment.

-As I said, olympic medal.. right promoter.. right timing. Godd.. :l

Cocky and disrespectful to fellow pros.

-To who? Carl froch? Well maybe you should hear the stuff he says about boxers.

Down and out against Willie Linmond and exposed as a glass jawed flawed fighter.....................but the ref gives him a extra long count to save him

-How is that down to Khan? Ref did it, not Khan.

Smashed out qucikly by Bedis Presscot - a pay per view rip off - for a fighter who is only a commonwealth champion (very greedy putting him on pay per view so qucikly)

-So fucking what? If you paid for him then that's your fault. Stop bitching about it. There were plenty of stream links about.

Picks on faded legends like Barrera to deceive how good he is.

-Yeah, 1 fight after he lost. Where everyone also said he would lose that fight. It was a very gutsy move.

Has the media and Ian Darke all behind him calling him a "untouchable superstar" trying to make us forget he was smashed out by Presscot

-So? Is it his fault the media don't call others that? That's a amazing praise.

Gets a world title shot soon after despite being smashed out not long before

-As I said before, right promoter, right time. VERY gutsy move.

Fucks off ****** once ****** has done the groundwork to make him a star

-Who didn't? Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton? Forget about them?

Ducks and dives out of mandatorys

-He just fought his mandatory :lol:

Talented boxer - but he is a fraud in what he stands for and means to the sport of boxing.

And to sum it up, everything you said is outside the boxing ring, that's OUTSIDE HIS LIFE. THAT'S HIS LIFE.

So I make my conclusion, you're a big hater!

juan diaz top of the lightweight division and now is shit to be honest marquez schooled him. mallinaggi dropped down in weight to beat him not difficult is it ???

maidana the fact is he has earned his shot at khan and roach is running scared it was him that said it would be best to side step maidana now is that not duckin?

Beating Maidana means nothing. Khan has far better opponents to face. A fight with Malinfaggi is a bigger fight and a great opportunity for Khan to impress.

[icemax]

I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter who Khan fights, there will still be dicks on here who just aren't satisfied. The kid could take on King Kong and Mighty Joe Young in one night and there would always be one whiny twat at the back screeching "wheres Maidana". Maidana is a one dimensional plodder with a bit of pop who is just as chinny as Khan is, get over it...I suspect that a large number of people who are calling for this fight have never seen Maidana box but just want a stick to beat Khan with...save yourself the effort, Maidana is fucking awful.

This smacks of jealousy :|

People are always going to question his opponents, he signed to fight JMM who arguably beat pacquiao, his last fight was a mandatory, kotelnik beat maidana, khan beat kotelnik, he's gone to the US to further his career and legacy. When did malignaggi become a bum? He's a handful at 140 for anyone?

The fight with maidana will happen when it's demanded by the fans in the US at the moment neither is a household name.

simple fact i hate him hes a cocky cunt and a nob end for fucking off ****** the man who resurrected his career in 2 fights from being sparked out in 90 secs by prescott and that khan is a average fighter who was lucky to beat barrera by stoppage of a cut funny that fight recieved the cut in the 1st round and it was pretty bad and went over the 4th round so it went to the score cards

I saw him beat the shit out of Ortiz but I don't have his career collection,am I allowed to give my opinion??Fuck off with that bullshit,Khan is ducking Madaina because he knows he will get his head knocked clean off his shoulders the next time he faces a puncher and fans are supposed to think that's ok because Maidana is a one dimensional plodder??All the more reason for Khan to shut all us haters up and just take the fight isn't it??!!According to you Khan is risking his reputation and credibilty to avoid a chinny one dimensional plodder...

Ortiz was a decent prospect but not a guy proven at the top level of the division. Not saying Maidana has not done ok but he is far far down the line of worthy opponents. I want Khan in with the other champs or at least the guys who have proven they can mix it at that level, not more Salita type opponents.

I don't necessarily want him in with Maidana, although he meets my criteria.

I just wanna see him fight someone with a bit of power, who also happens to be a natural LWW, and who isn't a million years old.

Paulie the Fag does not meet that criteria. In fact its a nothing fight; Khan seems to be superior in most of the departments that Paulie is renowned for being good in. Jesus Christ, even that plum Hatton outboxed Paulie!

He hardly fucked ****** off.

They clearly had a different view on how Khan's future career should pan out, and Khan decided to make a clean break and base himself in the States.

If you hate him, fine I guess. But don't criticise when he is clearly willing to take on fighters that are in the top 10 of the division, Malignaggi isn't a great fight but he is coming off a good win.

Maidana lost to the guy Khan beat to win his WBA title..... and was all but gone in the fight with Ortiz until the blatant quittage.

its no way to treat your promoter who brought ur career back to winning a world title just a little bit of loyality from the nob would of been nice... but no hes a greedy little prick just wants the fame and fortune of the USA ... and if he wants to base himself in the states he wont have the fan base over there like he does here

its fighters like nathan cleverly i respect who stay loyal and that and in due course will be a world champion under the guidence of frank ******

[Leo Ross]

I cant believe people are slating Khan for fighting Paulie. He is a legitimate LWW with a good record and is still world class. Hes been in with the top fighters in the division and will be a good name on Khans record if he can beat him.

[ciaran]

the main problem i see in fight with mallginaggi is he has to vacate his wba title because he aint giving the mandatory a crack

[ishy]

Ortiz was arguably a top 10 light-welter when he fought Maidana.

I think that's pushing it a bit mate. Ortiz was a top prospect before the Maidana fight (which was meant to be his 'coming out' party) but he was nowhere near top 10. His best win was over Arnaoutis at that point.

Anyway, Khan-Malignaggi is not a fight that excites me but it's still a decent fight for Khan's US debut. And Paulie was/is the second choice opponent as the Marquez fight fell through.

However, IMO, it will be an easy win for Khan. He'll look good on HBO and Max Kellerman will suck his duck in the post-fight interview. Oscar will then proceed to tell us how great Khan will become. Mission accomplished for Golden Boy.

[HitmanHatton]

Wont Maidana have been paid some step-aside money?

[D-MAC]

Do you just want to see Khan knocked out??, Malignaggi is a better fighter than Maidana in every department other than power, you probably think Khan has got a bad chin already so what is Khan facing someone with power going to prove?

What I want is an intriguing match-up, not a 12 round fucking dance contest.

[anjawnaymiz]

malignaggi is the right fight for khan on his u.s. debut, anyone whos been 12 rounds with cotto or hatton are not to be sniffed at!

and at least paulie can take a punch, will cause amir a few problems with his in an out style which should make for an entertaining fight although i have a feelin paulies face will be a complete mess after this one.

[HitmanHatton]

What I want is an intriguing match-up, not a 12 round fucking dance contest.

The same thing will happen if Khan faced Malignaggi or Maidana, he will put on a boxing clinic and beat them both.

He will beat Maidana easier then Malignaggi.

[ciaran]

Wont Maidana have been paid some step-aside money?

he must have been because hes down to fight cayo on boxrec

but i bet you after this fight with paulie amir will still be avoiding maidana

id love to see kevin mitchell get a crack at khan but cant see it happening

[Beeston Brawler]

If you want loyalty, buy a dog.

****** would have dropped him like a stone if he didn't still think there was money to be made.

In any case, a lot of British fighters get stick for sticking to their backyard and fighting imports, I think we should praise Khan and get behind him for breaking the mould and looking to contest for world titles on foreign soil at a young age.

****** is great at producing champions, but shit (or unproven) at producing stars. Calzaghe wasn't a star until he fought Lacy - after NINE years as a 'world champion'...... Hatton wasn't a genuine star until his 39th fight.

I'm not bothered if Khan loses say four or five times by stoppage come the end of his career, so long as he achieves plenty and challenges himself. If he clears out 140 and wins titles at 147 and maybe 154 later in his career and calls it quits at 48-5, to me that's a better slate than sticking with ****** and going out at 55-2, with a 140lb title and a win over the weakest welterweight titlist to his name.

[ishy]

The same thing will happen if Khan faced Malignaggi or Maidana, he will put on a boxing clinic and beat them both.

As long as he doesn't get tagged on the chin. That's what's intriguing about Khan-Maidana as opposed to Khan-Malignaggi. Maidana can actually hurt Khan and trouble him.

yeah but the way he left for fuck sake after one defense of the title that ****** got him a shot at it. thats a bit alarse that

anyway i think khans gonna be a flop in america

[ScouseLad]

I cant believe people are slating Khan for fighting Paulie.

People (like me) want to see his biggest weakness tested. Not fighting the lightest hitting puncher in the division.

Paulie's alright but what does Khan beating him tell us? Not a lot.

[HitmanHatton]

Why are you moaning about him leaving Frank ****** then?

[ciaran]

I bet you were slating Khan even when he was with Frank ****** for being protected and fighting bums? Am I correct?

no i supported khan up until his fight with barrera then he turned into a little cocky cunt and think hes something else

some people can do it and getaway with like Naz because he was one of a kind and and excellent fighter amir cant

[ciaran]

Why are you moaning about him leaving Frank ****** then?
once hes a flop and goldenboy drop him.... wheres he gonna go??

think ****** will take him back ?

[icemax]

simple fact i hate him hes a cocky cunt and a nob end for fucking off ****** the man who resurrected his career in 2 fights from being sparked out in 90 secs by prescott and that khan is a average fighter who was lucky to beat barrera by stoppage of a cut funny that fight recieved the cut in the 1st round and it was pretty bad and went over the 4th round so it went to the score cards

:lol::lol:

This is priceless, feeling sorry for Frank ******...FFS...these "I hate Khan" reasons are getting more and more perverse by the minute...:lol::lol:

The same with the cuts stoppage with Barrera, the usual suspects on here were saying pre fight that they were worried that the fight would be stopped prematurely if Barrera got a cut...the same whiny cunts then came back on here and moaned that the fight went on too long :-( Barrera always had the opportunity to say to the doctor when he looked at it that he couldn't see and the fight would have been called, so don't feel sorry for that cheating Mexican cunt.:deal

Feeling sorry for Frank ******, fucking hell :rofl

[ciaran]

im not a big fan of frank ******s mate but the way he was treated was out of order anyway ive had enough of arguing about a nob end from bolton its just gonna keep going around in circles!

[HitmanHatton]

once hes a flop and goldenboy drop him.... wheres he gonna go??

think ****** will take him back ?

Why should you be bothered if he is a flop?

IMO he wont be a flop, I think he will be a success in America.

[icemax]

I saw him beat the shit out of Ortiz but I don't have his career collection,am I allowed to give my opinion??Fuck off with that bullshit,Khan is ducking Madaina because he knows he will get his head knocked clean off his shoulders the next time he faces a puncher and fans are supposed to think that's ok because Maidana is a one dimensional plodder??All the more reason for Khan to shut all us haters up and just take the fight isn't it??!!According to you Khan is risking his reputation and credibilty to avoid a chinny one dimensional plodder...

:lol::lol::lol: Another winner....Khan is avoiding Maidana because that fight doesn't pay the bills fuckwit

If you saw Maidana against Ortiz you would have seen a career best performance by the Argentinian against a tin man, you will also have noticed how easy the fella is to knock over...he has less punch resistance than Khan, check out his first fight with Leon...put on his arse by a man with a 10% KO ratio :-(. He is a plodder pure and simple and he will be put in his place by anyone at a level just above gatekeeper

[Beeston Brawler]

It's a bit like feeling sorry for Man Utd if they go a season without winning a trophy :lol:

its no way to treat your promoter who brought ur career back to winning a world title just a little bit of loyality from the nob would of been nice...

Try to follow me here,read over as many times as is necessary for you to comprehend.If Maidana is such an easy fight why won't Khan just fucking fight him??Malinaggi and the rest of the featherfisted brigade will still be there for him after he deals with his mandatory obligation.Khan and his band of delusional dick sucking fans represent everything that is wrong with boxing...

As long as he doesn't get tagged on the chin. That's what's intriguing about Khan-Maidana as opposed to Khan-Malignaggi. Maidana can actually hurt Khan and trouble him.

Exactly Ish.:good

only small guys with no punch so obvious

hiding that chin from america LOL

[kosaros]

I think that's pushing it a bit mate. Ortiz was a top prospect before the Maidana fight (which was meant to be his 'coming out' party) but he was nowhere near top 10. His best win was over Arnaoutis at that point.

Back then (before the Maidana fight), this is how I would possibly have had it:

1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Ricky Hatton
3. Timothy Bradley
4. Paulie Malignaggi
5. Junior Witter
6. Juan Urango
7. Andriy Kotelnik
8. Kendall Holt
9. Ricardo Torres
10. Lamont Peterson
11. Victor Ortiz

Campbell, Khan and Diaz hadn't fought at the weight yet. Maidana and Alexander weren't around at the time. I think the division didn't have the depth back then compared to now, but Ortiz should still be around 10-15 IMO. If he isn't then I don't see why Maidana is so highly rated TBH (in our ESB rankings).

[icemax]

Well done, you've finally seen the light.:good

You're only sore because he exposed that fraud of a hero of yours :yep, and you were sap enough to travel all the way from downtown Bogville to see him do it :D

[D-MAC]

You were right and I was wrong D-MAC. I now see that Marcos Maidana is an elite level exponent of the noble art, and would make quick work of that fragile fraudster Khan. Up until this point I have treated young Amir like he was one of my own children, and even breast-fed the cunt from my own nipple (that's right, gave him a dose of the premium stuff). But since he didn't fight anyone with power, who was roughly the same size as him, and wasn't as old as Jerusalem, until he met Prescott, and since he hasn't fought anyone of that ilk since either, then I guess I now see the Prescott defeat in its true light. Like you I'm tired of this over-manufactured comebrack trail of opponents, and believe that anyone who has the balls to call themselves a world champion shouldn't cherrypick opponents forever.

I sympathise with you there bro:good

Bit OTT though, don't you think.

IIRC, Maidana was ranked top 10 by the Ring after pushing Kotelnik to the wire. Ortiz was about top 15/20 IMO as he had a decent win against Arnaoutis.

[TFFP]

Khan stands for everything that is wrong with boxing................


Fame and Glory and Money lavished upon a mere teenager quickly turns him into a naccisisst who thinks he is cheese.

Preens around in expensive clothes and lavish cars and knocks a guy over because he is showing off in his Mercedes

Pays for the top lawyers to get him off lightly

Thinks he is THE MAN and out to impress all the girls - thinking he is cheese.

Autobiographys released at 19/ 20 years old before he has even won a title.

Special treatment - while solid pro's watch on with resentment.

Cocky and disrespectful to fellow pros.

Down and out against Willie Linmond and exposed as a glass jawed flawed fighter.....................but the ref gives him a extra long count to save him

Smashed out qucikly by Bedis Presscot - a pay per view rip off - for a fighter who is only a commonwealth champion (very greedy putting him on pay per view so qucikly)

Picks on faded legends like Barrera to deceive how good he is.

Has the media and Ian Darke all behind him calling him a "untouchable superstar" trying to make us forget he was smashed out by Presscot

Gets a world title shot soon after despite being smashed out not long before

Fucks off ****** once ****** has done the groundwork to make him a star

Ducks and dives out of mandatorys

Talented boxer - but he is a fraud in what he stands for and means to the sport of boxing.

[kosaros]

IIRC, Maidana was ranked top 10 by the Ring after pushing Kotelnik to the wire. Ortiz was about top 15/20 IMO as he had a decent win against Arnaoutis.

He hasn't got the best names on his record, but it was the way in which he was beating them that put him that high in my list. Arnaoutis had never been stopped before and he had fought Torres and Urango in the past. Ortiz stopped him in the 2nd (although IMO it was premature). Maussa was stopped in the late rounds by Cotto and Hatton, but Ortiz blasted him out in a round. etc. etc.

But then that is just my opinion :good

[bdman]

khans excuse maidana aint a big of enough name to debut in the us khans a bellend and stop ducking him and face the manatory

i hope mallinaggi beats him and shuts the cocky cunt up

Shut the fuck up u tit.. You are supposed to be cocky in boxing. It sells tickets. Go search a boxer called muhammad ali and get educated on boxing. Cunt. That is all.

[KCD]

Khan say's what we are all thinking.


Khan is saying what all the nuthuggers want him to say.


Maidana has earned his chance by beating a rising "star" in Ortiz in a fight where he was meant to be the sacrificial lamb.

Malignaggi imo is still a good fight but i think Maidana should be granted his opportunity especially as Khan got his chance from doing sweet f.a. and it wasnt warranted.

[KCD]

Shut the fuck up u tit.. You are supposed to be cocky in boxing. It sells tickets. Go search a boxer called muhammad ali and get educated on boxing. Cunt. That is all.


The difference is Ali had charisma to go with his cockyness.

Now regarding Khan his cockyness crosses over into arrogance especially on the back of doing nothing remotley great so far in his career.

Also it doesnt help that Khan talks like he has a gobfull of golfballs. And he has one of them faces you would never tire of punching.

[ellaineo]

Salita was not worthy but he got himself into mandatory position. Khan embarrassed him and now does not have to fight against chumps like him and Maidana for a awhile.

Khan wants JMM but he is running scared. Khan would love to fight Hatton but he would rather retire than get another huge beating.

Fighting Maidana proves nothing to nobody. If they fought Khan would destroy him and the haters would sigh that Maidana had never beaten anybody and that he was only in the ring to make Khan look good.

Khan should fight Malinfaggi because he has a decent name and is on a good run and the Americans know him, he can pull a good crowd too. Once Khan knocks him out the American boxing public will sit up and take notice of his greatness but no doubt you haters will still find something to quibble about.


JMM isn't running scared but Khan isn't a big enough name for him! He has probably only got 1 maybe 2 fights left, why waste one on a unknown (In America) like Khan.

Hatton is the obvious fight; one last war before age catches up with him.

Is knocking PM out really going to make him a star in America? He has been beaten 3 times before and 5 fights back he only beat N'Dou on a SD. Hardly Mayweather is he!

[Darni187]

Paulie a good fight for Khan as his U.S debut, he is good in most area's and is a good boxer. Khan needs to be tested on a boxing level where he might have to think, change style, adapt, and over come maybe losing a round or two and coming back. Its a good fight for him to look good in if he plays his cards right.

Thinking about it Khan needs a good 12 rounds of thinking boxing by mid May it will be around a year till he fought Kotelnik and since then he has only faced Salita for 70 secs, he needs some rounds.

[xoborp]

Not a big enough name my fucking arse!

Maidana was in one of the fights of the year on the second biggest ppv of the year .
Considering that Khan is trying to crack america, and this is in fact his debut there, he has some fucking nerve the arrogant shithouse, who is he to judge who is a better named fighter when the coward is trying to make a name for himself in the same place.

The man is a complete joke, he should either put up or shut up or fuck off, because i am sick of his bullshit excuses, prove yourself Khan, or is it "Khant" :twisted::twisted::twisted:

[Losfer_Words]

Reading through some of the comments here reminds me why I want Khan to succeed so much. Whatever he does won't be enough for some and some of the double standards here are amazing. 'Khan's a cunt for saying this/that; Khan's ducking a one-dimensional hypejob who no-one cared about before Ortiz; Khan is not facing the WBA's joke 'interim belt' holder':boohoo. I hope Khan beats Malignaggi and gets the exposure he craves in America, I then hope he gets some unification fights whilst outclassing everyone out there at 140 as well and I also hope he becomes a huge star in the sport. I would love to see what people say then:D.

Give credit where it's due, people. Khan's career was apparently beyond revival after the Prescott disaster and since then he has completely outclassed one of the most underrated fighters at 140 whilst raising his profile once again.

Khan gets credit by me for beating Kotelnik as i rated Kotelnik, but he is/was one of the weaker champions.

Also why Khan has revived his career its been well managed, and until his opposition goes to the next level then i cant get behind him.

But Malignaggi is a good step forward and a fight he may lose.

To be fair, Maidana had his chance before Khan and blew it...Marcos got his shot by beating a 19-11 fighter. If we are going to judge, then lets judge evenly :thumbsup

Whether this is true or not, its certainly not what his trainer suggested

Sorry Icemax

Didnt mean to offend you - I know your a Khan fan.

I'm just being a bit of a cunt I suppose - and just having a pop at Khan for the sake of it.

All I can say is - was his last fight really a madatory ?

God what a awful undeserving madatory fighter he turned out to be. :-(

[icemax]

I'm not really a Khan fan, I think he's a bit of a one trick pony, I just hate to see all this naked fucking hatred against a bloke who actually hasn't done much wrong.

Salita was a horrible mando, but that unfortunately is the way the game goes. Normally the pay off for fighting such dross is that next time out you are able to pick who the fuck you want to fight...Khan seems to be judged by different standards

[FLINT ISLAND]

This smacks of jealousy :|

People are always going to question his opponents, he signed to fight JMM who arguably beat pacquiao, his last fight was a mandatory, kotelnik beat maidana, khan beat kotelnik, he's gone to the US to further his career and legacy. When did malignaggi become a bum? He's a handful at 140 for anyone?

The fight with maidana will happen when it's demanded by the fans in the US at the moment neither is a household name.


Well I'm just playing up to be a bit of a CUNT just for fun of it.

But on a serious point - Khan is the type of person who inspires jealousy more than other fighters.

I think because people feel he is a average fighter who has been draped in Emperors clothing and received royal treatment.

I think its more resentment than jeaously.

For example - I didnt feel the same way towards fighters like Lennox Lewis and Naseem Hamed and Joe Calzaghe.........and these are fighters who to date have earned more money and had more success than Khan.

But those fighters were for real - so I dont resent them for it.

All I can say is Khan has got the rest of his career to turn people around.

If he shows he is a true champion - over the next few years - then he might change my feelings toward him.

[icemax]

True.

I just hope Maidana doesnt get pushed to the back. Not saying he is going to be great or even beat Khan but i think he will be fun while he is around:good

I think its the Audley Harrison syndrome.

When you get a guy who has been successful as Harrison and Khan was in the amatuer's and they turn pro and get the limelight and the "greatness" bestowed on them prior to actually achieving anything then people will hate.

Plus i think he is a fighter like Harrison who whilst supremley confident also comes across as arrogant at time. And this is a double edged sword, people will either like him or hate him.

Its hard to pin it down to one thing, people might hate him for many reasons.

Khan got fame and money at a real young age, some people might have problem with that.

Khan signed with ****** who protects his fighters some people might have a problem with that.

Khan has a glass jaw so some people might have a problem with that.

Khan is a young British Muslim some people might have a problem with that.

Khan trash talks sometimes some people might have a problem with that.

I agree - that there is always a number of factors concerning a issue like this.

However all the points you make about Khan are not unique to him.

I feel that the reason is on some level - jealousy of his fame and material wealth and money and special treatment, etc

But as I say he is not unique - there have been other "Golden Boys" in boxing before him who have had all this - and been hated on.

I think it comes down to people instincts they dont like the kid - there is something about his character that is unlikable.

My personal view is people when they read his statements like today take in his words like he means them down to the word, yet he could be hyping the fight, playing mind games ect.

In most of Khan's interviews he seems a real down to earth, normal guy.

Or he won't fight his way to the top. He's been trying to pick the easiest route to big money since he started. Why not hate that?

[LeadLeftHook]

Khan wants a fight in US that will get him popularity with average fans. Outside the boxing circle no one knows Maidana. Besides, Maidana can be outboxed as Kotelnik has shown. Salita was mandatory and Khan beat just beat him. Besides, mandatorys are joke, they are only randomly enforced by sanctioning bodies whenever they please. No one knows how or why certain fighters get to mandatory position and sometimes why they dont. So lets not pretend like Khan is the first fighter not respecting the sanctioning body when the body in question doesnt have any integrity.
.
Marquez fears losing to Khan, if he loses he will be demoted to stepping stone status. The next logical fight for Khan is Malinaggi, he doesnt have power but he is certainly one of the best in division.
No doubt, Khan will fight Maidana but I expect that towards end of the year. Promoters are letting Khan - Maidana demand grow outside the die hard boxing fans.

[Toontoon]

You have no argument. Just plain pathetic jealous hate...or maybe an asian lad from Bolton fucked your mum.

[abzmanc]

Look guys, its all simple, Many in this country usually love a good looser, it often happens. Khan is a winner.. so far, so he is hated by a fair few. Look at tennis, Andy Murray, i know shit loads of people who hate him, from what I've seen he has less fans than Henman did when he is a FAR FAR better player than Henman ever was. The Scottish factor is also something to note. Someone mentions above about Hamilton being hated for seeming like a cunt. Really? I say fair play to the lad, World Champion at his age, something which took Jenson Button a good number of years.. yet he appears more loved than Hamilton. Same in Football, the amount of hate Ronaldo got, yet he was clearly the best player on this island, and probably the world. All boils down to a silly mentality we often have in this country.

Fighters from Germany always seem to have an easier route aswell to a world title.

Fighters from Germany always seem to have an easier route aswell to a world title.

How about the UK? Just in recent years we've seen Rees, Lockett, Jennings, Witter's second stab at a title against Alexander, Woods, Froch, and some might even argue Haye against Valuev. As Icemax alluded to, we could name names for hours- easy title shots are part of and will continue to be part of boxing. Khan just seems to get an inordinate amount of stick for things that many others have done as well. It truly amazes me how far some people go out of their way to hate on a successful British athlete and the double-standards they have when they go about dismissing him.

[Beeston Brawler]

Salita had by far the easiest route to a world title fight.

Not many guys get ditched by two promoters (Arum and DiBella) because the fighter is unwilling to fight certain opponents.... this was in an issue of boxing monthly a few months ago.

I mean, he didn't beat any fighter that wouldn't have been smacked into next week by whoever was the British champion at the time.

[liger05]

The excuses for not fighting Maidina are a joke. I like Khan but find it laughable hearing him try to justify why he isnt fighting Maidina.

Also a win over Paulie doesnt make Khan a 'star'. Anyone who thinks that needs to get off the crack.

[FLINT ISLAND]

Look guys, its all simple, Many in this country usually love a good looser, it often happens. Khan is a winner.. so far, so he is hated by a fair few. Look at tennis, Andy Murray, i know shit loads of people who hate him, from what I've seen he has less fans than Henman did when he is a FAR FAR better player than Henman ever was. The Scottish factor is also something to note. Someone mentions above about Hamilton being hated for seeming like a cunt. Really? I say fair play to the lad, World Champion at his age, something which took Jenson Button a good number of years.. yet he appears more loved than Hamilton. Same in Football, the amount of hate Ronaldo got, yet he was clearly the best player on this island, and probably the world. All boils down to a silly mentality we often have in this country.

Well I dont agree with what you said for me pesonally.

I do agree - there is a British Mentality of loving a good loser like Frank Bruno and hating a winner.

However.

I said Hamilton was a CUNT.

And I said I dont like Khan as well.

But the key thing is here - I think Hamilton is obviously a very good driver to be World Champion and Khan is obviously a very talented boxer to be Olympic Champion and World paper Champion.

All I am saying is - I dont really like them - as a person.

Its not a question of their ability or what they have achieved.

For example:

Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson
Evander Holyfield
Chris Eubank
Nigel Benn
Naseem Hamed
Oscar De La Hoya
James Toney
Roy Jones Jnr
Felix Trinidad
etc
etc

All the above fighters are more successful than Khan and alot of them have made more money than Khan, etc

But I was and am fans of the above fighters simply cos I liked them win lose or draw

People got to accept - blind hate against Khan is wrong BUT I dont like Khan - cos I dont want to - I dont warm to him - you cant force someone to like someone.

[abzmanc]

Why do people assume on here that Khan makes his own fights?! :think Must be one of the few out there who does...

[liger05]

Ortiz may not of been a top top guy but lets not kid ourselves here. Its not like Khan has beaten anyone that much better than Ortiz.

Maidina isnt a great fighter and Khan has the tools to outbox him however for me its a far more interesting fight than the Paulie option. Maidina bangs and I am still waiting for the Khan camp to make a fight v someone who can punch.

[icemax]

So you would rather Khan fight someone (Maidana) who can bang but is so plodding that he might not actually lay a glove on him all fight, rather than take on a featherfist who can match the Brits speed and who also has a decent chance of winning :huh

BTW, Ortiz is a tin man

[FLINT ISLAND]

Does anyone know what diet Khans nutrionist has put him on ?

I mean to a killer whale a seal is 180LBS of protein scoffed in one.

You need the right solid foods to help you grow strong and give you energy.

[FLINT ISLAND]

Mitchell was in the paper yesterday - said he wants to fight Khan but Khan dont fancy it or the fight would have been made by now.

Also said that Khan was wrong to dump ******.

Says he thinks that Americans will not warm to Khan.

When he trys to crack America he will take Frank with him (not dump him)

Believe in loyalty to ******.

Fights this Saturday at Wembley in World title elimanator as ****** celebrates 30 years in promotion.

****** also promoted Frank Sinatra.

[Beeston Brawler]

****** won't want Mitchell to go to America.

No disrespect, but Khan has way bigger fish to fry than Mitchell, it's easy to run your mouth off when you know that there won't be any consequences :deal

[abzmanc]

****** won't want Mitchell to go to America.

:rofl

So true. Why should Khan suddenly make a fight with some chap down at Lightweight who has only just moved up? If he ever did, and won it would only be another 'Blown up Super Feather' on his record.

[FLINT ISLAND]

****** won't want Mitchell to go to America.

No disrespect, but Khan has way bigger fish to fry than Mitchell, it's easy to run your mouth off when you know that there won't be any consequences :deal

I agree with the "bigger fish to fry" comment

Mitchell simply aint big enough name for Khan as things stand.

Khan is a bigger star than Mitchell - and always has been throughout the pro ranks.

If Mitchell can win a World title - and build a profile as a solid World Champion than maybe it might happen.

But as it stands - Khan is targeting big fights in America not the local boy down the road who no-one knows of in the states.

[abzmanc]

Or England :deal

[FLINT ISLAND]

Or England :deal

Thats a bit harsh.

The fight would have made more sense when they were younger and both on a simliar level.

But Khan has left him behind..........at least as things stand.

But like I said if Mitchell can become a World Champion and go to the States and make a name for himself than a fight with Khan could be a money spinner down the road.

Big IF though - as Mitchell has got to do all that first - before the fight makes more sense.

[liger05]

So you would rather Khan fight someone (Maidana) who can bang but is so plodding that he might not actually lay a glove on him all fight, rather than take on a featherfist who can match the Brits speed and who also has a decent chance of winning :huh

I would rather he fight Maidina as Maidina did enough v Ortiz to justify his shot at Khan.

I dont believe the talk of sidestepping Maidina because Malinaggi is somehow a bigger fight or it would get Khan more over in America. I believe it was a simple matter of what opponent Khan's camp feel is a better match up for Khan and they chose Malinaggi.

If they dont wanna fight Maidina then fine just dont try and come with some BS about the fight not being big enough.

[icemax]

I would rather he fight Maidina as Maidina did enough v Ortiz to justify his shot at Khan.


And Paulie didn't do enough against Diaz to justify his shot at Khan? You could argue the toss until the sheep come home about this, but the fact of the matter is, and despite what you believe, a Paulie fight would be bigger than one against an unknown Argentinian.

[Nel has heart]

we all no khan wants NONE of maidana, hed destroy him

[icemax]

we all no khan wants NONE of maidana, hed destroy him

:patsch Fucking noobs on here are getting on my tits...whats wrong? the BBC 606 forum down?

[izmat]

why should Khan fight two mandatories in a row?

[loughlan]

You have no argument. Just plain pathetic jealous hate...or maybe an asian lad from Bolton fucked your mum.

You are all kinds of stupid,it's pointless trying to debate anything with a simpleton like you...:lol:

[mugen82]

You are all kinds of stupid,it's pointless trying to debate anything with a simpleton like you...:lol:

But ur not debating, its plain and simple hate coming from you :lol:

[loughlan]

But ur not debating, its plain and simple hate coming from you :lol:

Hate??I pointed out that he is ducking his mandatory which he is,how is that hate??If you can't stand to hear the truth about Khan don't come on a forum to discuss him.I have nothing against Khan,I'm not coming on here calling him a cunt like some others but what I don't understand is why everyone is so quick to defend every bitch move he makes...yet the same people are saying Marquez is ducking him!!

[Toontoon]

Amir Khan has confirmed his hopes of making his US debut against Paulie Malignaggi and Sky Bet ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) make the Bolton fighter 1/4 favourite for the bout, which is likely to take place on May 15. Sky Bet go 9/1 for Khan to make a dream debut Stateside by knocking out the ‘Magic Man’ in his home town of New York.

Juan Manuel Marquez had been mooted as a potential opponent for Khan but is believed to have turned down the fight, leaving Malignaggi as Khan’s prime target. The American is 3/1 to beat Khan and it’s 20/1 for him to be beaten in the 11th round, as he was by Ricky Hatton in November 2008.

Sky Bet ([Only registered and activated users can see links])’s boxing betting spokesman Scott Springgay said: “Malignaggi should be the perfect opponent for Khan, who is a relatively big name in America but doesn’t carry any sort of punching power so shouldn’t threaten Khan’s chin.

“However, Khan will be looking to better Hatton’s eleventh round stoppage of Malignaggi in order to show the American public what he is made of and make his name as the latest British boxing superstar.”

[BoxingFanNo1]

This threads all wrong.

People getting on the case of a 22yr old fighter and calling him a ducker whilst his career is in it's infancy.

Give yourself a slap clueless cunts.

A few fights down the line if he's fighting bums then fair enough, but not now ffs :patsch

How about give yourself a slap you fucking moron. He's a World Champion, if he wasn't ready he shouldn't have assumed that position

[Redondo5]

If he fights either

Mallignaggi
Maidana
Marquez

I say it's good matchmaking and Khan is showing he's got a pair. Although the fighter he is avoiding is Bradley... at this stage anyway. Compared to other Brit fighters at this stage I think he's done quite well with the level of opposition thus far... although would like to see him in with some real big bangers now like Maidana, Valero maybe.

[T.J.Lefthooker]

You have say Maidana is the more interesting fight though, having a punchers chance at

least. I don't think Malignaggi stands much of a chance against Khan but that would be

the slightly bigger fight, Im not convinced it would be far bigger as others have stated,

also it would be better for Khan to have an exciting fight in the US and I don't think

Malignaggi would provide this, especially if he gets discouraged and starts constantly

clinching like in the Hatton fight. Maidana's lack of defence would make for a good fight

so I think Khan should fight him.

[supremo]

Regardless of what Khan thinks dosent matter.

The rules of boxing are there for a reason and should be enforced.

Madatory challengers are there because they have worked their way up to that postion and deserve their chance.

There have been many World Champions who have taken a fight they didnt want to take but had to do so to fufil their mandoatory obligations.

Khan should be stripped of the title now - and labelled as a fighter who ducks and cherry picks fights.

Or beacuse their promoter has managed to call in a few favours or influence officals....

that seems to be the whole point of the conferences the ABCs hold.
