You are a moron if that is all you learned tonight from this possible FOTY. Khan fought an amazing fight, and managed to stay away from what would be his undoing... a large left hand from Maidana.
When you stay away from an opponent and land punches, that is what is known as boxing. Khan did this well, yes, but he also throws many many meaningful punches with vicious intent. I think he blends a strong counter punching style and great footwork. He has phenomenal punch speed, which he used almost all night to get Maidana off of him.
Khan is not pansy, he worked his ass off for his victory and I was not really a big fan of his to start with. My hat goes off to him tonight for his resounding victory, and his testament to the boxing world that his chin may be a little suspect, but his heart and determination are going to be there.
Seconded!
Thirded! Can we get everyone to sign this

4th - Khan deserves a lot of credit for surviving and putting on a beating on Maidana. Who else has done that?
Maidana was the one coming on strong down the stretch. Sure, Khan did his banking early, but I really didn't see Maidana take a beating. There was only one fighter clinging on for life and that clearly wasn't Maidana.
Khan rode through the rocky times, so deserves credit for that. However, let's not put on our blinkers on the other way and say that Maidana took a beating.
It was hardly a shut out.
