    He may be a little better or a lot better, but chins usually do not become better....

    ....Also, Khan may have gotten better, but he is fighting a WAY better fight too, in Maidana. Maidana is not Breidis.

    If Khan stay on the outside, then I can see him getting the UD, and easy perhaps, but if Khan slips for a second it will likely be LIGHTSOUT.

    I think Khan will ALWAYS be vulnerable to getting KO and losing against top opposition..Maybe like Vargas who had an average to a below average chin.

    I like Khan, and he has mad skills, but I fear he will get KTFO again once he fights elite comp with power.

    When he turned pro Khan did indeed say he would be retired by 25, then again he also said he'd be youngest British world champion and all sorts of things.

    When Khan was developing its true they avoided anyone who could punch. More so than normal when bringing a fighter through, because it was known since his amateur days that he has chin problems. But it would have done no good in putting him in against punchers, because he would of been KO'd and learnt nothing, so instead he was matched against light punchers. So yes it's true, but the alternative would have been stupid

    iv always believed the chin had more to do with will power and mentality rather than physichal attributes i know when im sparrin if i get him and im not really up for it on the day i feel the punches alot more then when im up for it and buzzing so maybe with better motivation bigger money and bigger names he could take better hits....im probably most likely definitly wrong tho lol

    :deal:deal:deal It would have been stuipid, because Khan would have been KOd multiple times by now if they didn't feast on light-hitters pre and post Prescott. His Glass Jaw would have been shattered into a million pieces.

    If Con fights Maidana, the hype will be OVER. His fragile Glass Jaw will be smashed in brutal fashion and the fraud will be exposed, AGAIN!

    That's why Team Con and GBP are low-balling Maidana and putting out stoires in the media about Maidana making ridiculous money demands. :deal:deal:deal

    I think he said at 25 pre-Prescott before because he thought he'd be fighting for a world title straight after that fight but since it didn't happen and that backtracked on him, they slowed down.

    Plus when Khan won a world title (which was his dream goal), it still didn't satisfy him, and then I think he realised that there's more to just a world title. Unifications, P4P listings etc etc are on the horizon which are bigger.

    Khan just wants to retire at his peak and not stay too long in which it could affect his health.

    I don't rate Prescott as a big hitter.

    yes which is all well and good but if he does have his health in mind and retirement in his mind what happens if the maidana fight is tougher than he thought what if maidana pushes him pat his limit and he needs to dig deep and find somethin or will he think "iv got millions is it really worht doin this?" no fighter shud ever mention retirement till there startin to slow

    Your sir, are an idiot.

    Low-balling Maidana? Maidana IS asking for too much Money. Geez you claim to be in the Boxing game tons longer than me yet you don't realise what HBO offered and what needs to be split. The undercard, fighters, venue, flight tickets/travel need to be paid for. Where do you think that money comes from??

    You're seriously a ****. I expected you to be at least truthful but you're just like most of the rest. A ton of lying ****.

    :good Neither do I. But he's not a light-hitter like Paulie, Kotelnik, Salita etc. :yep:yep:yep

    Maidana IS a big hitter, which is why Khan is going to get knocked out!

    The jump from fighting fighters with 0/10 or 1/10 power to someone like Maidana with legit 8/10 power will be too much. He's going to be shaken by those punches, and shaken EARLY! :deal:deal:deal

    Isn't Maidana the mandatory anyway? Khan has to fight him regardless. He is trying to duck him like he does anyone else with a KO rate above 40%. It is disgraceful.

    That's true, but I seriously don't question his heart. His haters will be what will strive him on, and he's got plenty of them :lol:.

    Duh, no ****. But Maidana is the one who's asking for a rediculous amount which is 3x the amount of his highest payday. Even you haters should realise that it's Maidana the one who's taking this too far.
