    This.
    One of the most overrated boxers of the last few years.
    Quite funny how people were saying about a year ago how good LMM-Maidana would be.

    Lucas would knock him the **** out.

    Great conditioning and a massive desire to not lose that night. His reputation was on the line as it was the first time he was facing big puncher since Prescott. He had a point to prove to everyone.

    khans chin i shaky, but not as bad as everyone thinks. He just gets caught clean to much.

    He managed to avoid getting tagged clean against maidana for most of the fight.

    I had Khan winning by a point if I remember correctly. Khan won that fight because his of his handspeed, foot speed, a poor ref, heart, and a point deduction.

    Cause Khan is an awesome boxer with a terrible chin. Sometimes he gets punished for the chin thing, and when he doesnt, he wins.

    I heard that Maidana didn't even train because he knew as soon as he lands he got that crack-a-pak power to take khan out but khna was on roids

    Will this go down as Khan's best win? It's quite likely. :-(

    Khan was solid there with Ariza conditioning and buzzing with a string of victories and a world title with a lot to prove to the US audience. Now he is a titless poorly conditioned fragile demotivated shell after that brutal Garcia KO

    Maidana won most of the exchanges but loss the fight. It was one of those things. Maidana was making Amir run around the ring. But Marcos just couldn't put him away, too slow. Khan just pitty pat to victory. A few scares a long the way etc.

    khan won mainly by throwing more jabs and punches
