Schaffer wants to build maidana up before a possible maidana khan fight

[ibnabdullah]

Says it at around 2 minutes

Its a good plan. Maidana is an awesome tv fighter with the potential to be a star.

[ibnabdullah]

Personally, I think Khan should have stayed with Warren. Khan is getting ahead of himself but Warren would have kept him in check.

[mangler jr]

Warren really knows how to match guys and bring them along well. He's a Brit version of Arum in that regard.

Goldenboy on the other hand were crazy enough to throw Ortiz in there w/ Maidana way too soon.

Pretty reckless matchmaking imo. Or maybe they just didn't know how much of a beast Maidana was.

[ibnabdullah]

Yeah. When Khan lost to Prescott Warren got a lot of criticism for making the fight in the first place. But Golden Boy are a huge company, and if Khan fails they'll just move on to the next fighter. Bad move IMO. Hope it doesn't come back to bite him in the ass.

Khan needs to be held back because he's not as good as he thinks he is. Not yet anyway.

maybe they don't believe in being ******* like Warren's fighters

It's not about being *******. It's about fighting the right guys at the right time so you can have a long career.

Nah, the stabilisers are off. He should be ready to fight anyone now. I think he is. I'm not really a big fan of this whole 'building up' of fighters. Too much of that goes on and quite often it translates into fights not actually being made. Amir is at world title level now and should really be looking at the best fighters and the best fights.
