This trend of top fighters only fighting twice a year is a pain in the arse.

Maquez is the heavlly favoured choice says Schaeffer.

Apparently Khan & Roach want Maidana ... Apparently Elvis works down my local chip shop also...

Terms wewre agreed for Maidana between warrena and universum. That's why Khan left for Golden Boy cos they had the power to make him disappear!

Funny how Maidana is now saying he wants away from GB and as far as he is concerned signed nothing with them.

I met Amir Khan in a restaurant in Southall (Middx) where he always eats when he's in London. This was after he knocked out Salita. He told me & my friend he was going to be fighting Marquez on May 15th in Vegas. We all know that didn't happen because he fought Malinaggi at MSG. I wouldn't bet against Khan fighting Casamayar at the end of July and then fighting Marquez at the end of this year. after he pulled out first time around.

If Khan fights Marquez he will lose by KO.

does anyone know why marquez is facing Diaz again?

Because both guys are shop worn .. just Diaz is very shop worn and it`ll look good if Marquez wins to sell a fight with Khan :cry:

It really looks like Maidana is too dangerous for his own good .. you really got to feel for the fella.

He'll get there eventually if he just goes about his business, Sergio Martinez had the same problem but eventually got there.

Fighting JMM is a business decision, nothing else. Khan says he wants to unify so he should be fighting Alexander or Bradley!

From what Schaefer was saying this week, HBO want to match Bradley with Alexander later this year and then have Khan fight the winner.

Khan is forever saying things he has no intention of actually doing ... I fear his friendship with haye is rubbing of on each other .. :(

I know that is bad enough, and now Khan is doing it too.

I think Khan should fight Maidana, he can be outboxed if Khan stayed to the outside he would give him an absoulote boxing lesson, all he has to do is stay away from Maidana's power (easily said than done I know) and he'll walk that fight. Marquez would be a much tougher fight for him.
