Khan Vs Maidana, Who Wins ??

A boxer can do a hundred abdominal crunches, a thousand press-ups and dance with a skipping rope all day. He can learn the art of attack and defence. But one question, particularly pertinent to Amir Khan, continues to vex even the wisest boxing brains, can anything be done about a glass chin? Angelo Dundee, who guided the great Muhammad Ali, sees no great mystery. “You can't train a chin,” he said, simply. Goody Petronelli, the only trainer Marvelous Marvin Hagler ever knew, always used to say, “You can’t train a chin.’’ That is what Freddie Roach has to be concerned about. Roach told an old friend a while back that “Goody was right,’’ when asked about Petronelli’s philosophy. No amount of weight work to strengthen neck muscles, for example, will alter how quick a fighter’s brain goes blank when hit on the chin. That ability to absorb shock is a gift from a Higher Power not something you can improve, like a jab or a hook. Roach can improve Khan's defence, but when that chin gets pounded by a puncher it will shatter into a thousand shards of glass. And that is why GBP will not let Khan in with a big puncher. man this copy and paste is getting old. I cant be bothered to read all this rhetoric. Post something from yourself once in a while. I've already told you that all maidana will land is pathetic grazing blows that khan will laugh off.

Prescott landed and had Khan stumbling all around the ring like the town drunk. Now is Prescott a skilled technical fighter? Freddie Roach may be the best trainer in the world, and he can improve Khan's defence, but at the end of the day you can't train a glass chin. read my post before, above.

Do fighters fall in a trap and fight Maidanas type fight, or does Maidana force the fighter infront of him to fight that kind of fight? Thats the real question! good point. Ortiz was a very good boxer. fundamentally sound. good speed, jab, and power punch accuracy. but Maidana bullied him into a brawl. Does Khan get bullied into a brawl? We won't know unless they fight, obviously. I still hold that Khan gets hurt and hurt bad. He'd have to drain Maidana's confidence with powerful shots, great countering, great defense, great jabs, etc. I think Khan could do it. But my question is, can he do it at this point in his career? Again, impossible to know, but I don't think so.

Prescott landed though. compare the positioning of khans hands in the prescott fight and the malignaggi fight.

Who said anything about grazing blows? And you think it is not hard to avoid getting hit flush in 36 minutes? Even Mayweather gets hit flush at times, and he is the best defensive boxer out there. If you think Khan has a better defence than Floyd's you need to see a shrink. The people that mayweather was hit by were much faster and had way way way more technical skills than maidana. Whats wrong with talking about grazing blows? Thats all maidana will ever be able to land in this fight. An amazing statistic from the malignaggi fight is that he was only able to land ONE PUCH to khans chin. Guess what? it was a pathetic JAB, not even a power shot.

Maidana destroys Khan. And I saw Khan's fight against Paulie, great exhibition of his talent. But is Khan poised enough, or even skilled enough, at this point in his career to not get knocked out by a GOOD Maidana shot to his chin? I don't think so. Maidana walks through Khan at this point.

Khan has only fought 1 puncher in his whole career, and that was Prescott. He got starched in under 60 seconds. I would have to go with Maidana by KO. I dont think it is that hard to avoid getting hit flush in 36 minutes. Grazing blows will NOT knock out khan. If you think they will, thats just desperation. another point to remember is that khan is way way faster than victor ortiz. Khan has a unique stance which is a mix of dela hoya's and hopkins' boxing stance. There is no way maidana can get khan of balance.

Khan would win every round, but clean effective punch from Maidana and he goes down. I think Khan could UD Maidana, but Maidana would never be out of the fight considering he could get the KO at any time.

khan can pull a flurry of hard punches and get maidana out of there late in the fight. Call me crazy, but the only way this fight will end is a KO/TKO.

Maidan will land some huge bombs on Khan and i don't think he will be able to take them, Maidana wins by KO in round 5

You would expect maidana to land at some point in the fight...and if he does i think its over... Khan has heart, but his chins not strong...and maidana is a huge puncher... Khan would have to win by SD....possibly a stoppage...if ortiz can knock maidana down a few times, I think khan can...

50/50 Maidanna lands cleanly its all over. could go either way but i'd still favor Khan for the win by stopage.
