    He's definately got the time but he's already close to the top. Still 4 years of roach refining could put him on that level of greatness (which is very Likely IMO).

    LOL Khan is not doing it becuase he's boxing, he's doing it because he has too. He knows that his chin is not the best and he has to box and hope that he doesn't get hit flush. Khan is a great fighter with speedy hands, it's just that he can't possess that toughness in him due to his chin.

    He just beat Maidana over 12 hard rounds taking all he got in the FOTY, what more do he got to do fight Wlad at HW and take his shots too.

    Are you ******ed?

    So are you implying that Khan can take any Light welterweight punch now that he stood up to Maidanas?

    Yes Maidana was the biggest puncher at 140, who else punches harder.

    Nobody does at least not that we have heard of, maybe an upcomer with 5 fights etc.

    There are countless fights where a boxer has took a few barrages of punches from a beast only to be knocked out by a lighter puncher sometimes by a weak puncher and yes i am talking about upper echelon fighters.

    Boxing is not Black and White.

    The **** you don't see coming is the stuff that ****s you up.

    Amir didn't see that left hook from Prescott that was the beginning of the end. Prescott fooled him with a feint, Amir reacted by trying to hook, and Prescott timed him perfectly with a counter left hook.

    **** that power ****.

    Because none of his fighters excel on the inside, except MAYBE Kayode.

    Sometimes it is, doesnt even have to have alot of force, only three pounds will knock you out.:rofl

    Those shots would of murked Khan either way, even though his chin has greatly improved there is no denying how poor it is.

    Power works wonders in fights just not always as simple as people think.

    Most on here think you can walk of the street and be fit enough to fight for ten rounds.

    Khan showed not only a chin but also a Tigers heart, what I understand what you saying, it's all about timing that shot, but I have now faith in Khan to tough it out when times get hard like he did vs Maidana the beast.
