    We will see in his next fight if he has really improved, Im sure he would be expected to beat a broner level fighter at 140 essentially a 130 fighter coming up.

    True. Technically, Khan isn't great at all.

    Super fast, explosive and with VERY underrated body punching.

    Other than that, his ring IQ is lacking although he does seem to be fighting smarter now he's at 147.

    If only a boxing match was 4 rounds instead of 12 :patsch

    He wasn't impressive. But a W is a W nonetheless

    Yeah he got caught and was in trouble but at least he was able to win some nice clear rounds with big dominant spells, unlike Floyd who looked good for about a round in the first fight and then ran and held in the rematch.

    Nothing selective about it.

    Notoriously poor stamina Maidana had khan doing the chicken dance towards the end of the fight.

    If Maidana was so badly hurt in the first round, how the fcuk did he go the distance ?

    So Maidana wasn't hurt? Rewatch the fight and look at his face. Khan had him crying like a little girl.

    Like i said, how the fcuk did he recover, and almost stop Khan if he was all but done by a body shot in the first ?

    Khan hurt Chico with a body shot.

    Chico had Khan doing the chicken dance and nearly ended the fight.

    Nowhere near.

    Like I said, compared to his overall talent level, his accomplishments are subpar.

    He has fast feet, fast hands, great height for 140/7. Long reach. A laser like jab, and good technical skills. With those attributes he should have accomplished more than he has. His problem has remained the same, he talks too much and is never focused on the guy infront of him. Always looking for a shortcut instead of going through the mud and clawing his way to the top. He's more talk than he is fist. And his career has suffered because of it. Maidana is his best win, and I'm not saying that Chino is bad, because he isn't. But if Chino is your best win, how much have you accomplished in the sport? I also remember him getting saved by the ref in the Chino fight.

    If khan would have put the time in, and focused on the guys infront of him, he'd be more accomplished.

    People joke on DSG and honestly he's not as talented as Khan. But he's tougher and doesn't mind going through the mud. And for that he's more accomplished.

    Wow you're an idiot.

    Maidana was seconds from being out of there early. He was SQUEELING like a piglet.
