Can Khan beat the top Light-Welterweights

[Berrevoets24]

The Light-Welterweight divsion is jam packed with great fighters. We all know Bradley is ranked by most at number one by most people on who he has beat , but if the fighters were to all fight each other for example Khan fights Midana and Alexander fights Bradley and the winner agaisnt each other who would be the man to come out on top ? Are there any other fighters like Zab Judah or Juan Manuel Marquez who could touch these guys , i love to hear everyone thoughts on this ? I personally think Khan will beat them all with Freddie Roach and Alex Ariza in Khan corner he is just too Quick, Powerfull and Clever for everyone out there at 140.

I reckon Kahn will beat Maidana.

I personally am a Amir Khan fan, so am going to say he would beat them all... Styles make fights and the total different style between Khan and Maidana is going to make this a good fight.. We all know Maidana has stopped 27 of his 29 opponents and this guy can punch as his record suggests. People have questioned Amir Khans chin for a long time even at the ams were he was put down a few times and since turning pro Willie Limond had him down for 13 seconds and the one we all know about Presscott smashed him in 1 minutes... Since that defeat and since moving to Freddy you can see his high guard and i think hes looked good in his last few fights although not against the best opponents ... Maidana is going in there to knock Khan out but i reckon if Amir boxes the way he can he will beat Maidana

Anyone with Khan's speed, boxing skills and power can beat anyone at 140 at the moment.

Personally I feel Khan is the best bar none at the weight but his suspect chin will always make any fight against the likes of Maidana, Alexander, Bradley etc etc difficult to make the above point with any sort of confidence.

For the record I reckon Khan does a Kotelnik type job on Maidana, hits and moves for 12 rounds and wins by a landslide.

Alexander - Khan UD 12, too much variety

Bradley - ask me again in 12 months time, still not sure

I also think Ortiz could be his most dangerous opponent, because he's a banger with skills to match. Will be hard for Khan to dance around like I think he'll do with Maidana.

I think Alexander would be Khan's toughest foe at 140. Good skills and speed, and decent power (although he did look pretty ordinary Vs Kotelnik). Judah could also pose some problems, although it's difficult to say how much he has left.

I feel he'd beat Maidana and Ortiz pretty handily, while i've never really been that impressed with Bradley.

[Captain Hook]

Bradley is the only one he wouldn't beat IMO...

[Happy Slapper]

People are overrating Bradley.

Same here. Ortiz has the speed, skill and power to cause trouble for Khan. I think he's a massive threat, not to mention he's massive at the weight (puts on over 15 lbs by fight night).

Alexander doesn't have enough for Khan. I think a lot more people are wise to this now, since the Kotelnik fight.

Bradley is still a bit of an unknown for me. I don't know how he keeps winning! He's absolutely relentless, with balls of steel. He's a bit like Juan Diaz was back when he was dominating everyone. I think Bradley will come unstuck in the next few fights, but I'm not sure who is going to do it. It could definitely be Khan, but Bradley's dangerous (especially with his head!)

I can't believe I'm thinking Khan has a chance to be an undisputed champion. That's a massive achievement already. Imagine if he did it?!

Amir Khan fighting a puncher? Never! Talk of Khan defending his WBA light-welterweight title against Argentine banger Marcos Maidana on December 11 in this country brings out the Thomas Doubter in us boxing fans. Khan was smashed inside a minute when he last ran into a puncher two years ago, since when the Bolton boy has picked on those who would struggle to knock the skin off a rice pudding. Then there is Maidana, whose record of 29-1 (27) speaks for itself in terms of sheer power, with the lone defeat to Ukrainian craftsman Andreas Kotelnik on a 12-round split decision last year, although Maidana has pushed his luck a couple of times since. Nevertheless, Khan-Maidana, if it happens, is boxer v puncher, bull versus the matador - potentially the biggest boxing surprise of 2010.
Just five months after Maidana lost out to Kotelnik in Germany, Khan took on Kotenik himself in Manchester and breezed to a 12-round decision. Logic would have it that Khan must be better than Maidana, then, but logic has no place in a wildly unpredictable sport like boxing. Styles make fights, and Maidana poses a very real threat to the reign and the career longevity of the 23-year-old Khan, who went down like a tree against Colombia’s Breidis Prescott in Manchester in September 2008 and appeared to have no punch resistance whatsoever.
The loser, 23-1 (17), was back a few months later, feasting on the first of five soft-punching opponents since, including Kotelnik for the WBA title, a title he has retained twice. You tip your hat to the young man, and his backers, for rebuilding so well and so quickly from such a catastrophe; you tip your hat again if Maidana stands across the ring from him in December.
Amir Khan is tantalisingly close to true boxing redemption. Maidana is no lightweight, no old man (27); he’s not particularly weak in any department, having climbed off the floor to overwhelm the much-touted Victor Ortiz in a six-round thriller last year. As well as his destructive power, Maidana has also proven he can do the full championship 12 rounds.
For us cynical, moaning, ball-scratching Brits, this fight is every bit as good as Khan fighting Breidis Prescott again.
