GR8 Britain vs The World - Khan v Maidana - Chisora v Klitschko..... etc

[fan johnny]

Maidana didn;t sound too eager to fight Khan again, but I think he's just pissed because he feels he got robbed.

Did Khan earn some respect from those of you who actively root against him?

Except for those Pacquiao moments... Otherwise Khan did prove he can be in there with the strongest punchers in the division and not just the boxers.

You know, I'm a fan of Khan but I don't think he did. His chin is better at 140 and he responds to getting hurt better, but he still got hurt almost every time Maidana landed clear and if he fights a boxer-puncher who can throw combinations he's going to be in trouble. Just my $0.02.

I don't think he could survive against a big puncher who was a slick fighter as well. I think Manny would have him out on a stretcher, which is a shame because chin aside I think he gives Manny nightmares. He's a superb fighter, speed and skills he's one of the best 10 in the world. Unfortunately his chin is like about 1403th

But he has so much heart, I absolutely love the kid. Done us proud tonight and have you ever seen him in a dull fight? His vulnurabilites make him super exciting.

If he had a chin, he'd be on his way to becoming the best fighter on the planet. I agree with you (probably because you were agreeing with me ), a boxer-puncher will ruin him, but it'll be great while it lasts. I think you're dead on with the Jermaine Taylor comparison (I know I've said that about 20 times now).

I agree he'd be better with a better chin. But its not all about that. He's just got too much nervous energy. He comes unglued too much. When do you ever see Floyd come unglued? He's always in control of himself. Or even Manny? I agree with Bilbo about the Jermain Taylor thing and chin doesn't have anything to do with.

He's a must watch though. Partially because he's too wild for his own good.

I really can't see how anybody can't be a fan. Sure he says some silly things at times, and he's a phone sex pest. But I can appreciate all of those attributes.

He was really really good tonight. How he got through that 10th round I'll never know, it was like watching a spider being washed down a sink and just bobbing over the plug hole refusing to go under, legs splaying everywhere, but he stayed up and imo even won the 11th and almost had Maidana out in the 12th in the dying seconds.

Great fight, he fought and beat a puncher. I hope he doesn't face another one for a while.

Yeah I was on my feet at that point and for the rest of the round. There's inspirational moments throughout a boxing match ( a boxing match is an inspirational moment within itself), but that was extraordinary.

[JazzWolf]

What a fight. I seriously think they both brought out the best in one another and worked out a potential GFOY bout, fosho. Great heart and determination from both fighters.
Amir flaunted his chin all night, he must of been banging it against steel since his fight with Prescott.
