he also mixes it up nicely to the body, Maidana IMO is the hardest puncher at 140, and if Khan beats him well it'll say something, that said, Maidana only needs to land one clean shot and it's over
Why? Ortiz had him on his arse twice early on. Not from huge punches either. Just from accurate shots that Maidana walked on to.
Ortiz has plenty of power in his shots, and he landed bombs on Maidana, don't know what fight you were watching, anyways Maidana won the fight, Khan although he has improved a bit, he isn't a completely different fighter than the guy who was KO'd by Prescott, IMO Maidana is a lot more heavy handed than Prescott and he's a hell of a lot more effective in cutting off the ring, Ortiz isn't being mentioned cause of his lack of experience and but if they bring him back up and don't rush him as they were doing (similar to Vargas) he is more than capable of beating any of the top guys at 140, he just honestly needs to work on defense and keeping composed, again i'm not saying Khan isn't any good, i think he has great potential, but to think that he's the best at 140 or even the 2nd best just cause he beat two bums in Kotelnik and Salita is pretty stupid (and no i'm not saying you said that)
