    Maidana didn't look hurt to bad even though he was KD'd 3 times vs Ortiz.
    Ortiz was taking huge shots from Maidana as well. He just a quitter.
    I would think they are the 2 toughest in the 140 division.

    Canelo has been fighting around 150 lbs lately and looks like he has room to fill out even more. He'll never see 140 again.

    +1 Khan has nothing to fear he is the king of 140lb division.

    He has to fear the impact of Maidana's punching power on his suspect manidble. :bbb

    But with Khan's 'glass chin' why does he need to be hit with heavy power to be knocked out, if it was pure glass light hitters would also knock him out. Bizarre.

    Did I miss the part when Khan morphed into some sort of defensive wizard ala Sweet Pea?? Has his defense improved under Roach? Yes. Is he now some kind of defensive Houdini? Hardly. Khan will outbox Maidana because he possesses a greater skill set.

    Is anyone confident that Maidana will prove incapable of finding the mark at least once or twice over the course of the bout?? :-(

    Khan doesn't need to be hit by a universally recognized, bigtime thumper like Maidana to wind up horizontal. Ortiz has more than enough pop to spark Khan.

    Ortiz is another heavy hitter. If you're saying it requires someone with better than average power to knock out Khan, then it's wrong to say he's a glass chin, average chin would be more appropriate.

    Khan doesn't have heart, ridiculous. He got up 3 times after having his jaw smashed by Prescott, till the ref stopped it. Not to mention the other fights, he has come back and won after being knocked down.

    Khan fought Kotelnik in his first fight at 140, shortly after getting sparked at 135.

    People shouldn't question his heart
