    maidana hit him ten times harder than limond did when he was on the ropes.

    khan is stronger because of the extra weight.

    allow brook to prove himself as a worldclass contender before he even thinks of fighting khan, khans on another level, brooks yet to break through euro level, any1 cant look sensational fighting the stiffs hes been stuck with

    I agree with this, Khan was draining himself to make the lower weights.

    Cool, by the time he's at middleweight he should be like George Chuvalo then.

    His conditioning has obviously helped him, but it's the distribition of weight, not the extra weight himself that has helped him. He was just in poor shape at 135, all top half.

    And, Khan may not have gone down but he still needed rounds to get himself back together, and it was only in the last round that he really found his feet again. That is pretty startling, and gets overlooked too often when people talk about the improvements he has made.

    Top level fighters just shouldn't have to do that. Which is why I'm not sold on Khan going on to 'future greatness', which I've been scorned for today but I'm standing firm on. He is clearly a very good fighter, but he's not infallible.

    I praise his will, I really do. But it doesn't mean I'm going to hang off his nuts like some, he's nothing special (though his handspeed is ace)

    Do you think Khan consciously seeks out soft punchers?, he wouldn't fight the way he does if he was so worried about getting starched.

    If Brook can beat Senchenko and pick up the WBA title then the fight makes sense next year.

    You think Gavin will be P4P based on looking "elusive" against bums.

    This is true, it would make business sense. Senchenko is arguably the worst strap holder in history though.

    I really hope Khan doesn't fight Morales.

    Mayweather took some time getting his feet back after getting hurt by Mosley, if Mosley didn't gas in the 2nd round, Mayweather would have been in whole heap of trouble.

    Eh??? Gavin clearly has talent, but in his last few fights has shown a lot to be desired. I like the look of him, he has the ability to go far IMO, but he won't do much and his last few showings and is not looking to repay some of the faith I previously installed in him.

    Who the **** are you anyway?

    Did he? I thought Mayweather recovered pretty quickly.
