Maidana is dangerous early then he gasses He landed that big shot on Khan in round 10 after being down in round 1 from a bodyshot the guy got tired like 20 seconds after throwing that punch It woulda been a different story if he landed that in the first 3 rounds he woulda stopped Khan
I know it's an obvious troll post, but to bite anyways.. The guy who was taking punches from a DLH who was suppose to take his head off, a Ricky Hatton that was suppose to be to aggressive and strong, a Miguel Cotto whom was much bigger, a Margarito that outweighed him by 20 pounds, hard hitting Shane Mosley that rocked Mayweather and has knocked plenty of guys out, etc, etc. Marquez isn't a light puncher, wasn't he the first to destroy Diaz? His crisp counter punching means much more than just raw power. I was surprised to see him KO Pac regardless.. Not sure if it was Pac's age catching up to him, overly aggressive, lack of strength condititioning, etc, but regardless the guys Pac has fought in the last few years, most of them were suppose to knock his head clean off his shoulders and didn't happen. Khan gets KOed by Prescott, gets knocked around by Maidana (showed heart on his part), KOed by Garcia whom many people didn't give much of a chance to win, etc.
I think the whole "chin" thing is relative. Thomas Hearns chin for example was pretty bad in Hearns-Leonard I since it didn't take many big shots for him to go down but in Hagler-Hearns he had a chin of granite and it took Hagler all of his best shots for Hearns to get knocked down. Even after the down, Hearns got up in 10.
I don't know which is worse. People underrating JMM's punching power (EDIT: and laser accurate counter punching and timing abilities). Or people overrating Khan's chin.
This, any boxer with over half of their wins coming by knockout throwing a over hand punch like that and the other person walking into it = ko everytime Someone smart like Mayweather wouldnt be in that position to get hit by it but if he was he's getting ktfo too
This thread is ****ing ******ed.... Manny is on another level to Khan,he is elite and has been fighting at a much higher class plus he has fought almost twice as many fights. I reckon Khan will be lucky to get past 35 fights with that chin of his,one more heavy knock out and his career will be over at the age of 26. The punch that Marquez hit Manny with would have knocked out any fighter on the planet,it was a freak punch and the fact that Manny ran into it made it all the more powerful.A shot like that would have probably knocked Amir Khans head into the fourth row.
This statement is ******ed JMM has 40 wins by knock out and a 65% ko ratio. He's one of the best counter punchers in the business Can't bust a grape? Go back to sleep kid
