    he fights with his heart not his head sometimes, but I would not call him a stupid fighter.

    Because he's a dumb fighter with quick ass hands.

    Dumb fighter?

    Coming from a guy who's probably never stepped foot in a ring.

    I don't understand how you can call someone a 'dumb fighter'.

    Do you realise how easy it is to see someone's mistakes from a Screen? When you get in there, it's a completely different story.

    So being smart would be him continuing to go for the body?

    Despite Maidana anticipating this?

    Depsite it exposing himself more to Maidana's bombs?

    the fight should have been stopped in the 10th as khan wasnt even punching at all after he got caught...khan was just holding on to chino....

    A good job you weren't the referee then. Because Khan had enough fight in him to not only survive that round, but two more after that, and eventually winning the fight.

    I step in the ring regularly but I'm not judging elite fighters on the same standard as average people. If people did that there would be no criticism anymore. :rofl
    The point is Khan is not a smart fighter he just has exceptional handspeed.
    He hurt his opponent to the body and stopped going there the rest of the fight = DUMB
    He was getting hit with uppercuts between his gloves in the 10th but didn't change his stance = DUMB

    He isnt stupid at all but no smart.

    Conveniantly i posted a video and if you watch it you will see khan work his way in and take himself off the firing line, he could have done this a few more times at least, im never stated anywhere he should go for an all out body attack.

    Khan when interveiwed:

    "We just didn’t throw any more shots down there, because the few times when I did try going down there and tried throwing a left hook to his body and his ribs, he kept coming over me with his shots so I had to be careful."
     
  11. because khans skills are dog**** he wins fights on his speed not his intelligance
