    Okay, everywhere I'm going I hear the same thing.

    "Fight Maidana you ducker@£$%^£"@!!"
    "I want to see him get tested"

    Okay, we all know Khan's chin is suspect. So what the **** is there to test?! We all know he won't take the shot well. A CHIN CAN'T BE IMPROVED. So why do you want to see him in with Maidana?

    I did a poll and EVERYONE Said Khan would box the **** out of Maidana, so what is the reason you want to see Khan fight him? - To get knocked out? Looks like it.

    Maidana would be a defensive boring fight which Khan would probably go on to win a UD. - Everyone would be saying "Oh he didn't get hit" or "Ohh Maidana was an overrated bum who had fought no one". It's a pure fact that people will say that. So why do you want to see it?

    His chin will never improve so stop saying **** like "i want to see him tested" when you know he'll be flat on his back! - and this is coming from a big Khan fan.

    He's now fighting Paulie Malignaggi which is pretty much confirmed for 15th May, Madison Square Gardens. A good fight which would prove much more than a Maidana fight. So hopefully some of you can see through the blind hatred and support the 22 year old.

    So we can't see a new champion "tested" or for him to fight his MANDATORY because he has a glass chin?

    So because he has a weak chin then its ok too make a career of fighting nobodys and feather fisted fighters and expect not too get the abuse??? If he isn't man enough too aim for the top and take on all comers then get out of boxing or expect a lot of flack.

    honestly, you either have it or you dont!

    In a rare occasion, having mental issues ect..... will impede your chin

    But you work those out before you turn pro my dude :good

    So if a guy has a bad chinn in the pro ranks, its not his fault, he is fighting a losing battle. So we should have some respect for him....

    I honestly have never been rocked in my life.... But i give a **** LOAD of respect to a man who gets rocked, and gets back up. I have yet to experience it, but i have alot of respect for it :good:good:good

    Respect should be reserved for the fighters who don't have the chin but take on the big punchers regardless,not the likes of Khan who is trying to duck and dodge his way through the ranks avoiding anyone with a modicum of power.

    chin does improve just as it gets worse. The biggest contributing factor to Khans chin improving may be his age, when he got KTFO his body was still growing, its possible his neck muscles, his bone density may have gotten thicker during the timeframe. You can also learn to take a punch, prior to that most of his experience have been amateurs with headgears, sparring top guys in wildcard must help his chin. It could have been weight too, I believe he got ktfo at LW, given his frame, he may have been draining there.

    Fighting a guy with 5 KO's isn't going to have people rushing to Khan's defence.

    So basically Khan has a weak chin but we should all support him while he ducks all of the big punchers and cleans up the 140 division of the feather fisted opponents available?

    You've completely missed the point of the thread.

    Khan WILL fight Maidana! He wants to himself! His fans want him to! There is no one on this site that will defend Khan should he decide to never face Maidana down the road.

    But the fact is, there are some people on this thread who only want to see Khan in with Maidana, to see him get starched again! When Khan and Maidana finally fight, and if Khan manages to outbox him the full 12 rounds without even letting him land a good shot....you can bet your ass that these people will not be satisfied!

    They just want to see one thing....Khan allow Maidana to land one clean shot.
