    there are 2 things to be considered: the Maidana Khan fought and the Maidana under Robert Garcia is a vastly different fighter, he started to use his jab, and even shows shades of defense and ring intelligence

    second, Broner also seems to be sporting a suspect chin, but i will leave that to the chincheckers to confirm if my suspisions are correct

    So you do agree its not a 'Lucky punch'?, that night Khan could (a chance) have beaten him if he fought smart, since then DG has come along

    Actually strengthening the neck is a great start.

    Lopez is a tough SOB, but he's definitely no world-beater, there's a difference between being tough and durable and being tough, but at a level(s) above most fighters

    just like you said, world beaters don't get KO'd easily, JMM needed the perfect punch (a great name for a movie :yep ) to put Manny to sleep, he was on his way to get beaten up badly before timing him perfectly

    The fact still remains..

    If Khan chin is as bad as some ***** ass keyboard warriors claim to be, surely a half decent puncher like Maidana should of KO Khan in the first few rounds...

    Note watch the fight Maidana landed really good shots on Khan way before that 10th round and Khan took them..

    Note rewatch Khan vs Garcia first 2 rounds Garcia landed full blown lefts and rights bang on Khan's chin with no effect..

    'to the chincheckers to confirm if my suspisions are correct' - that doesn't help your case in terms of showing you know a thing about boxing, those idiots dont know anything about boxing,

    Maidana is a different fighter, but not really an improved fighter from AK fight (since that fight his form took a dip), he uses his jab more, but always had a decent one to set up punches, Maidana could always slip punches but has improved along the ropes,

    Broner has a suspect chin - dont think he has, but ok, what about Lopez, Karrass - good chin.

    strengthening the neck only helps to some degree, it doesn't suddenly give you Chuvalo-type chin

    No it was not a lucky punch... Khan was fighting the wrong fight with a puncher..

    Karrass and Lopez are tough and durable, but they are easier to hit clean and knock out then let's say 2010 Khan, especially for a guy like Chino

    Apart from the last 3 rounds khan didnt exactly run, just watch the first few rounds, Maidana landed 150+ punches on Khan (he was either missing or connecting clean, hardly any grazing shots), landed 100 punches vs Lopez - but a lot were to the body and half the amount of power punches. againts karass he was punching going backwards half the time and he threw more to the body and power punches he landed were a similar amount (although it look like he landed a lot more jabs)

    "Average" power doesn't drop an iron chinned Lucas Matthysse.

    Garcia is not a puncher he has average power look at his fights since being at champ level not many ko for a puncher is it. And he didnt drop matthyse it was not a legit knock down everyone knows that. Collazo will stop khan midway

    Khan has no chin and is an extemely overrated boxer who has got this far by using speed against short non-punching mediocre opponents, he no longer even has speed.

    If he survives Collazo somehow then he will get KOd the millisecond he steps up. Stop this nonsense.

    Yea man extremely overated. Winning that silver medal at aged 17 and losing out only to cuban legend Mario Kindelan. pssshhh he is just lucky really... I mean at 17 I could have done that no problem. Fighting non-punchers like Marcos Maidana..I mean who the hell is Maidana? Didn't Devon Alexander beat him every round? Two time world champion my ass. outclassing Paulie Malignaggi and Zab Judah every round... Who the Fck are they anyway? Not like they know how to box they are just face first brawlers.
