I hope Amir Khan is ready for his 72 *******.

[PittyPat]

it's true though. even if khan beats him, does that mean he doesn't have a glass chin?

Well jeez, what more do you want - are you saying Khan should stand in front of Maidana, drop his hands and say "Punch meeeeeeeeeeee"? Only a nutter willingly gets punched.

The art of boxing is to not get hit.

no, if maidana doesnt touch him then there is no way to say khan doesnt have a glass chin, khan must take maidanas shots before we can say he doesnt have a glass jaw

Well jeez, what else do you want - are you saying Khan stand in front of Maidana, drop his hands and say "Punch meeeeeeeeeeee"? Only a nutter willingly gets punched.

naturally. i'm all for that style of boxing. what i'm saying is, ever since he got rocked he hasn't fought heavy puncher. now that he will, and presumably, if he doesn't get KO'd, does that mean he doesn't have a glass jaw? like, bradley couldn't ko him in round one when they meet?

are you my *******?

Well, anyone who gets in the ring with Maidana is going to get hit. Unless you're Floyd Mayweather, Maidana will smack you one. Also, Khan gets hit in every one of his fights. His defence has obviously improved with Roach, but each of his 24 opponents has tagged him along the way - Malignaggi, Prescott, Barrera, Kotelnik, everyone.

So, given that we've established the fact that Khan will get hit by Maidana at some point - whether he wants to or not - I think it's then safe to say that he'll have passed that oh-so important acid test if he survives and goes on to win. However, if we see the same result as the Prescott fight, then clearly his chin is glass.

By fighting Maidana, Khan will have every question answered. It's guaranteed.

Agreed. However, if he does get ko'd a la prescott, what happens to him? where does he go? he can't even try to debunk the glass chin reputation anymore. move down in weight? where does he go? in my eyes, his career goes kaput.

Once Maidana declares a Jihad on that Pakistani Glass Joe, he'll have no choice but to go up to heaven and collect Burka laden whoors.


Maidana by right hand monster k.o in the 8th.

LOL, I don't know about the whores but I bet wazaa already has his nurse outfit on ready to give Amir numerous sponge baths and nurse him back to health.

The bold says it all. He'd be a laughing stock all over again, except this time there'd be no going back IMO. I know Pacquiao got KO'ed twice in his early career, but at least he had the excuse of poor nutrition, poor technique, poor training and poor circumstances. Everything was wrong for him in those fights.

Khan, on the other hand, has nearly the perfect platform from which to win this fight. He's got Roach, Ariza and all the facilities he needs. The one thing on which his career now hinges is that notorious chin of his. If he can't take big punches with all the aforementioned support behind him, then what's the point.

So this will be a truly career-defining fight for Khan. If he wins, he'll have answered all the skeptics - Maidana is guaranteed to get some shots in, so if he takes those he'll be OK in later fights. If he can't take them, then all the criticism will have been justified. It's one or the other. Win everything or lose everything.
