Chin or no chin, I don't think you can deny he's got heart after saturday. Not sure if I want to see them go at it right away again, maybe have another fight or two with someone else and then have them go at it again.
I agree Armin he did show heart I still dont like him personally but he did take his lumps and fought on, a few times he was about out but he did his best...
Though it did prove Khan has a lot of work top do ahead of him...Being an offensive fighter is great but when the punches are returned is when you need to be rounded....If Maidana was not gassed he would have stopped Khan.....
I have high hopes for his future but right now I don't think he beats Bradley...Not that Tim is a big puncher but he would not get tired and would not get frustrated....
In truth the matchup I would like to see is Khan Vs Alexander....Speed Vs Speed....I take Khan in that one but Alexander will be a handful for him
If Khan hadn't gotten careless at the last few rounds he wouldn't have got caught. Would be no rematch to talk about.
I think if a rematch happens, Khan and Roach will have a much better game plan and UD Maidana easier if not K.O him.
you're acting as if Khan was ONLY hurt in the 10th, Maidana hurt him early in the 1st, again in the 3rd, and a couple more times after that especially the 10thQuote:

i'd love to see a rematch. and i'm not so sure it would be an easier fight for khan! the rematch could go the exact same way or not, we just don't know. a rematch usually favors the more technical, faster boxer but like maidana proved last saturday night, never count him out!
I would love to see a rematch later on down the line. Khan was looking a little gassed in the later rounds, and i really thought he was going down in the 10th. He suprised the hell out of me by not going down.
Maidana is still clearly one of the 4 top dogs of the division. But Khan should stick to the original plan and take care the winner of Bradley-Alexander first.
Not so sure about that pal......Quote:
