Comments Thread For: Marcos Maidana Ready To Step In, Fight Khan on July 23

[LoveForBoxing]

Khan won simple as that was a close and exciting fight and i would pay double to see that fight again.

I can't see why there would be a problem facing maidana again, Khan would win this fight again easyer if anything.

I like maidana hes a warrior and a absolute brute don't get me wrong but up untill that one punch in the tenth he was outboxed completly up to that point , you need more then what he brings to be at the top the divison and i don't think he can compete at welterweight hes just not big enough , It would be like arthur abraham when he moved up to super middleweight and is completely inaffective ..

He is once again Khans mandatory challenger. Khan can either fight him or try to duck him for as long as possible AGAIN, but eventually he will have to fight him or relinquish his title. Its that simple. Khan fans are really shook up about the possibility of this rematch. Why wouldn't anybody want to see a rematch of a fight of the year? Neutrals would love to see this fight. Maidana fans would love to see this fight. Its only Khan fans that aint showing any interest. As for the people saying Maidana should rematch Morales. Well its a no brainer, he's obviously gonna choose the opponent has a title over someone who doesn't.

Khan is now the ''super champion '' so doesnt have to fight a manditory every three even four fights so maidana could be waiting a long time..

Im a khan fan and would love to see that fight again however he wants bradley or judah maidana would be a step backwards like mcloskey at this moment in time

Maidana would not be a step backwards. Maidana is still 1 of the top 5 140 lbers. Plus Khan has done everythin possible to make the Bradley fight, and Bradley wont take it no matter what they offer him (Khan even offered half of the British PPV $).
Although Judah is a bigger name, at this point in his career, he and Maidana, although different styles, are the same level - both top 5 jr. welters, wit Bradley and Khan being the obvious top 2

Plus, Khan - Maidana I was a close fight. And although exciting, Khan was running in a couple of those rounds ( i didnt think it deserved fight of the year, as I actually though Marquez-Katsidis was a better fight). I would love to see a rematch if that *****, Bradley continues to duck

[Marchegiano]

well, if the rematch happens: 10mil on Maidana, anyone?

Obviously Khan doesn't want to give Maidana a rematch. In the old days Championship fights went 15 rounds. Had they today then Maidana would've beat Khan.

Maidana had 7 minutes to put a wobbly Khan away and couldn't get the job done. He didn't come close to stopping Khan after the 10th. Marcos blew out his tank going for the KO and Khan was getting his legs back. Couple of the judges had Khan winning 1 of the last 2 rounds. Maidana would have had nothing left and Khan would have cruised for 3 more rounds.

actually maidana just said on his twitter today that hes up to fight bradley. but bradley wouldnt have the heart to fight maidana he wont even fight khan for 1.5M

I agree, that is more like it. I believe bradley wants nothing from either one, they both went to a brawl, a brawl that if it wouldve been 15 rounds Khan wouldve been KTFO.....
