What happens to Khan....

.....if he loses to Maidana? Does that end his relationship with GBP & Roach? Would he be relegated to fighting at home against sub-par opposition? He's done well since his first loss, however I feel that was a product of smart matchmaking. I know they are looking at him like a serious marketing commodity, but another loss might send him out of favor.....thoughts?

Depends on how he loses.

If it's another Prescott type blowout I wouldn't be surprised to see Golden Boy panic.

I am pretty sure Roach will stick by him no matter what.

The loser's should face each other

Khan vs Ortiz
Khan vs Peterson

If he loses, it will be by KO. His career will be severely set back.

if kahn gets koed it still keeps him in the mix of things at 140..it just eliminates him for now from the elite of the division..he will go back home and fight murray since a loss would view that fight as competitive and a good payday..he will be back cause of youth and talent that goes along with his fragile chin then.

If Maidana KO'd Khan and Khan was a normal fighter he would take some time off, rebuild, and then be back in the running for a belt (and people wouldn't rip him for having limitations).


The expectations for him (even after the Prescott loss) are still sky high. Khan is viewed as a possible top P4P type fighter down the road. If he can't get past Maidana then he never will be able to stand up to anyone who can punch. He'd never be one of the top fighters in the sport.

Huge fight with the expectations placed upon him.
