    Where do you get this from. Was it because he let Edison Miranda go 12 rounds with him? Or because it took 12 rounds for him to knock out the guy David Lemieux just knocked out in one? Or because he didn't hurt LaJuan Simon?

    Abraham has good one punch power, but I've come to the conclusion that it's also overrated.

    But I honestly think Maidana won't catch up with Khan and land a clean haymaker on him all fight. Maidana's handspeed may not be awful, but it's WAY slower than Khan's, and the difference in footspeed is huge too, not to mention Khan's reach advantage. I wouldn't be shocked if Maidana catches him, but I'm not expecting it.

    Not P4P hardest puncher, but he hits hard.

    Khan probably has the P4P biggest Glass Jaw though, of rated fighters.

    Obviously it's opinion (and I'm not even sure it's my own opinion, hence the question mark in the thread title) - but it is arguable. He's certainly in the discussion to any unbiased observers.

    This will be a one sided destruction by Khan on Maidana who will be stopped in the later mid to late rounds.

    Khan is not the hardest puncher. And neither does Maidana have the worst chin. :bart

    I think Khan's gameplan will be pure boxing. Guard up at all times, chin tucked. Long straight, fast punches all night. Never reckless. Maintain good distance.

    I think he may get rocked a few times, from blows to the side and top of the head, but he can probably take it and probably win by decision.

    Maidana will have problems landing CLEAN. I don't think a grazing shot is going to get Khan out of there. But, I guess anything is possible.

    Amir gives a good shot and Maidana can be hurt.

    I think Amir might get the KO.
