    He is the most overated fighter in world boxing in all honesty.
    People crow on and on about him being super skilled:huh but who has he fought? I simply cannot understand where this myth has come from when all hes fought is ***ins and mallignaggis. The kid is simply nothing special. His trainer being Freddy Roach lends a lot to this air of supposed skill but that is it.

    Saturday night will be the first time since his 54 second blowout loss to a journeyman that he hasnt been cherrypicked with someone who doesnt pose any KO threat. And before that he was being put down by domestic level bums with 15% KO ratios.

    So what we DO know is that he has possibly the worst chin in boxing.

    He has NO power...he has ONLY in his last fight discovered a jab...he is way too overconfident bordering on delusion...and until now has been protected.

    Saturday night will show us what he is really all about. Apparently now this fight is going to be easy. But i predict the same old Khan who cant take a punch. Maidana by KO early

    Yeah totally.

    When he was in the UK he was massively hyped, and had a lot of pressure on him to peform. He used to go flying in trying for the highlight reel finish and neglect his boxing skills.

    At the wildcard he is not the top dog anymore, which is good for him.

    I think maybe hes slightly overhyped now, but nothing like when he was UK based.
