LOL, if anything Khan should be more safety first.

I'm with you, If he could keep his chin tucked in a bit more and stop leaving himself so open he would have the potential to be a great even with a suspect chin. Gotta take my hat off to Khan though, if someone told me he was going to take so many big shots before the fight I would have bet on him losing via a big KO. He showed he has learned how to survive in a crisis and that is one thing that I didn't think he would be able to do.
I dislike the guy but come on you got to give him credit for that. Maidaina is the best puncher in that division - by no means the best boxer - but because of that I feel he is Khan's most dangerous opponent at that weight. And Khan won a UD - ok he was hanging on at the end but he got there.
After the first two rounds I couldn't see a way back for Maidana and he amazed me (couldn't believe he actually got up from that body shot by looks of pain he was in). Lets be honest none of us ever saw a way of Maidana winning on the scorecards did we ? Thought at same time I never saw nothing but Khan domination as the fight went to the later rounds so I was wrong there
There are still big question marks over Khan , and yes he was one other clean shot away from defeat in the 10th, but he came through it so his chin must have improved somehow ! Any opponent facing him knows the best chance of beating him is KO .
Can't see him granting Maidana a rematch though . I think Khan would be less confident in a rematch given how the fight panned out in later rounds
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Yeah that also surprised me a lot in that Khan got caught flush a few times and was hurt but managed to survive. For all of the shit talking Roach does, he is an elite trainer and has massively improved many aspects of Khan. Work still needs to be done, but there is a lot of improvement in there.
And yes the OP is a fucking idiot. But what do you expect form these armchair internet warriors that don't fight for a living and likes to call fighters bitches/cowards/pussies/ chicken, etc.
