    I don't know why he posted his picture up. You never do that when you're arguing with a troll.

    His best defense, is that Jab, he would go through spells where he just stopped throwing it. That jab when he's throwing it with conviction is serious business, and is going to back up almost anyone in that division. It will give him room and keep guys from getting in his "kitchen" and making him fight a fight he doesn't want. When he was consistant with his jab, and going to the body he made Maidana look like a bad amature, it was when he tried to be "defensive" covering up and moving etc that he made himself vulnerable. Which is to your point that those things are going to have to improve going forward.

    I like the kid and I think he has a huge upside, but I still think his chin is going to cost him down the road. What I'm curious to see is when he gets dropped, can he get up and survive similar to JMM, or is he one that once he goes down, it's over whether right then or immediately there after.

    The main problem for you is that you have never boxed. Thats fine but let me ask you a question. Have you ever been inside a boxing gym? YES or NO

    the point was some bull ****. kahn ate the big punches and took them well.of course maidana did hit hurt him, but they were not suppose to hurt him there were so post to stop him.all that chin talk bout amir has to stop unless, maidana was feather fisted a night which i dout.kahn sayed that lower weight made him weak and now that hes fighting at the right weight hes stronger then ever.so with the punches maidana did land and could not stop kahn then i dout another 140 guy can do it.

    "Too sexxxy for my shiiiiirrrrt", you are a corny ass dude, you are the first ****** that I'm going to have to actually ignore. To translate you have lost your speaking priviledge as it pertains to me, you will now have to have a third party speak on your behalf if you wish to speak to me. Obviously you do wish to speak with me as you reply to every post I make, so I hope you can find someone else to harass as I'm done. If it's too much for you, perhaps you could kill yourself, just a thought.

    I wouldn't go as far as to say he took them well, and you obviously didn't read the post I made regarding Jermain Taylor, the mans chin issue is going to be an issue. I don't see Maidana as feather fisted, and I give Khan credit for winning the fight and staying up, but nothing about his survival gave me "confidence" in his chin going forward. That's my personal opinion, if you disagree, I understand...I'm just tellin you he's not out of the woods in reference to his chin, and I believe Alexander could stop him. He's not as big of a puncher as Maidana, but he's a big enough puncher, and can throw in flurries and has a wider assortment of punches.

    Anyone is vunerable of getting KO'd by a puncher.....but Khan was able to prove that his chin may not be steel...but it's solid for sure.

    He ate a massive shot right on the chin that would have KO'd someone with a REAL glass jaw easily. Not only that he was able to stay on his feet and survive. Yes....khan ran the last 3 or 4 rounds to survive but he did what he had to do.

    Cotto did the exact same thing with PAC but the only difference was Cotto didn't have a strong beginning or middle where Khan did. So Cotto running was just to last...not win....Khan running was to not just survive..it was also to win given the substantial lead he was sitting on.

    The point in my opinion was a justified call...that bow, had it hit Kahn was dilberate and dangerous and uncalled for. Joe did the right thing.

    The only thing I didn't like about Joe was him breaking up the in-fighting that favored Midana. He could have let both of them bang away if one arm was free...but Cortez wold break it up when ever he'd see a single arm tied up.

    Kahn has faster hands but not faster feet.

    Had they stopped that fight b/c of that shot it would have been premature without question. How do you feel about the Taylor vs Chavez fight and how the ref stopped that fight in the last round with seconds to go, in a fight where Meldrick was winning but losing the later rounds?

    Sorry that part wasn't clear on my end, by could have been stopped I meant by Maidana, not as some have implied by referee stoppage. I don't think the fight should have been stopped via Cortez, I was implying that he was there for the taking and was maybe two clean punches away from either being KO'd or in that case possible referee stoppage.

    Ah! For sure.....Yea...I was a bit shocked that Kahn stayed on his feet and had Midana been a bit more fresh Khan would have gone down and possible been KO'd.:good Khan still showed signs of being a "GREEN" fighter. He should have taken a knee and got his senses back instead of covering up and not tieing up.

    Credit should be given to Khan for surviving a tough fighter Maidana.
    I would love to see them rematch in another exciting fight.

    The only thing that I didn't like about Khan is this fight is that he really didn't recover after that punch. He put on his track shoes and ran for the last 3 rounds. I thought he was going to recover and whip maidana. Kind of like how Tim bradley comes back from being put on the canvas and wins or how floyd whipped shane mosley after the second round etc.
