Khans Chin

Not a Khan fan by any means but when he got K.O'd by Prescott an L.W he was top heavy. His upper half was disproportionate to his bottom half. he was getting rocked a lot at that weight by blown up super feather weight.... Since the jums to L.W you can take the Salita and Mallignagi fights out the window for obvious reasons. He got tagged a few times against Kotelnik who aint a huge puncher but he aint feather fisted either. Khans punch resistance has improved since he moved up... Not saying that he has a granite chin but it is not the glass chin it was at Lightweight and as much as Maidana has huge punching power its not out the question that Khan can hurt Maidana or even put him away... Its just whether Khan can avoid Maidina's wide punches all night and if he cant how will he take those shots??? Its a 60/40 in my opinion to Maidana.... Khan has never been in the trenches and came out. Thats why i think Maidana has the slight edge

Amere Con said he was weight drained against Precott & found it hard to make weight....correct? If he struggled to make that weight why did he proceed to have 2 more fights in that division after the Prescott fight? I think it has to do with bodyfat aswell. At 135 Khan used to boast about having less than 5% bodyfat without knowing what that actually meant and would eventually lead to his KO. Now he walks around at 155 i think and is still a big JWW. I think he will still go down as with most fighters against Maidana but i don't think it will be a Prescoot-esque KO and will get back up for a UD.

He was not weight drained at light weight, let's get that straight. I am not saying he was weight drained but his body proportion was seriously wrong. his legs were far too small compared too his upper half

his chin is suspect eff him!!!! and his punch resistance hasnt gone up !!!! The punches he took off Kotelnik were probably stronger than those that rocked him at L.W. He was way top heavy at lightweight..... Again not saying he has by any means a granite chin but it has increased in resistance... Weight drained boxers suffer. boxers with bad or poor conditioning advice suffer... Khan can take a better shot at this weight....

Somebody will catch him one day, but he seems to have enough skills to survive anyway. Let's just see against Maidana. We will soon find out.
