Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Open To The Idea of a Marcos Maidana Rematch

[NearHypnos]

Khan has been showing signs of CTE for a long time now...

He’s completely shellshocked since the Canelo fight. Something never came back there that was awful. Honestly I’m not sure when to start worrying

Hey Con, how about a rematch with Bud Crawford, since you cried foul and then quit like a dog? You never seem to mention him. His name must really taste like sh.. in your mouth

How different would the Bud rematch be?
Khan is irrelevant just like Maidana so to even suggest a rematch with Bud is to imply that Khan is relevant at 147

So he was fine after getting KO’d by Garcia?
Canelo fight didn’t prove anything we didn’t already know

[Oregonian]

Could be a great fight, the first fight was fun to watch, both were close to being stopped.
Maidana by KO would be my pick, would be good fight to see where Maidana is at, as Khan is not prime right now.

So when was Khan in his “prime”?
When he got destroyed by Prescott?
Or maybe when he got stopped by Garcia?
Or Canelo or even Bud?

When exactly was Khan in his prime?

Khan should just quit boxing at this point and take up full time masturbating on Skype. His chin is quite frankly embarrassing and he is now known as a quitter when the waters start to get a bit deep.

I don't really wan't Maidana to come back, but this is one of the few fights i would actually be interested in for Marcos because of the revenge element and the fact Khan looks very beatable at 147 +, can't believe it's been almost 10 years since the first excellent first between these two.

Are you just deliberately being defensive or are you just entirely missing the point? Now...picture this.

A guy gets KOd by a few men. Probably not okay, right? Of course not. Now that same man has his most catastrophic and violent KO AFTER all the others, by the biggest and most powerful man he’s faced, in which he was visibly and admittedly NOT okay for a good deal after the fight....and has much more visible signs of “wear” since... It’s a clear turning point.

Canelo didn’t do it all, but SINCE then. That’s it man. Another fork in the CTE road. Not sure if saying Canelo got you defensive or what, but Khan is in a night and day difference since the Garcia loss. Age and punishment are now cause for real concern.

You can’t even imagine Khan surviving against even a remotely top name anymore. I’m genuinely getting to a point of worry for him when I hear him possibly facing a top guy.

As TMT ( the Maidana team) we shouldn't support this ****.

Khan was never the A side and he doesn't deserve this payday now.

Maidana should say he knows he is the better fighter and had the better career and he should try cleaning out 147 since after him and Floyd left, the division has been soft and ripe for the picking.

I'm picking Maidana over Spence, Manny, Porter, Thurman, and consider a fight with Crawford as 50/50 fight.

Yes, I always expect the best of a fighter no matter how long the hiatus. I have to see otherwise in the ring. Maidana is a contender and should get a title shot off the rip. Any elite old guard deserves that respect.

I disagree that Maidana has had a better career than Khan.

Losing 7-5 & 8-4 to Floyd in entertaining fights, getting shutout by Alexander but beating the brakes off Broner, losing close fights to Khan and Kotelnik, and winning WBA Regular Titles at 140 ad 147 doesn't ***** what Khan did.

Khan shutout both Kotelnik and Alexander, beat Maidana, got robbed against a juiced up Peterson, won a legit alphabet title and unified (albeit against a past prime Judah). Khan made 5 out of his 6 successful defenses against top-10 ranked fighters (I'm including Peterson), was top-2 ranked in his division with Bradley for like 3 years, took on tough voluntary fights like Garcia, Canelo, Crawford despite everybody knowing he had an poor chin since before the Prescott KTFO.

Let's not forget that fights against Floyd, Manny, Bradley and JMM were never made despite Khan desperately wanting them.

Also if you dissect his Boxrec you'll see he also beat the hell out of Malignaggi before he won his 'regular' strap at 147 aka before he arguably beat Broner. Khan beat Diaz who just drew with Porter, beat Collazo before Thurman did, beat Algieri who had only lose to Pac and before he lost to Spence Jr. If you give any credit to Maidana for beating Morales at 140 then Khan should be given credit for beating Barrera at 135lbs two years earlier.

Maidana has fought 9 'title holders' to Khan's 15.

I'm not saying Khan is a hall of famer but I don't think he gets enough respect for what he's done in the sport. And it's mainly because of his attitude/personality, chasing the biggest fighters (what's wrong with that?) and because he's ******, IMO.
