Okay...
Khans weakness is someone with knockout Power, Pacmans is anyone with great counter punching skill, Mayweather weakness is effective aggression, Hopkins is someone with workrate and activity... the list goes on...
Khan fights one of the P4P hardest punches in the sport (WORST NIGHTMARE) and passes and doesn't even get knocked down unlike the fish flop Maidana did in the first round.
From here on out, whoever he faces won't be as dangerous as the 95% KO Maidana... what's the problem here?, he went head first with one of the most dangerous fighters he will ever likely to face unlike others who avoid their weakness or bad style matchups.
Ur thought process is what's wrong with a lot of fans. Brute strength or power doesn't make u an automatic threat in the ring. There should be more concern with how Khan got hit by someone so much slower than him with the same predictable, winging punches all night and it almost cost him. Someone with more accuracy will test his chin more than someone who throws wild thudding punches like Maidana. Hold off on the praise for now. I don't see how anybody can leave this fight where Khan was literally running from Maidana and was a few questionable breaks from the ref from being flatlined, and have such a glowing review. Maybe he is a beacon of light in the sport, but this wasn't the performance to acknowledge that.
I don't understand why Ariza would say that against Miguel Diaz. Notice, they work together (Miguel Diaz being Pacquiao's cutman). There's a lot of contempt going on inside Pacman's camp and it is always Ariza who is getting involved. Remember when he beat the **** out of Konckz?
1. Weight drain mostly effects performance ie stamina/power/speed.
2. You can train and enlarge you stabilizers (legs/necks) all you want, but when your chin gets rocked and your brain stem "says" its time to go....its time to go.
3. Focusing on NOT getting rocked wont get you anywhere. Though It can be argued that sometimes it can be psychologically rooted.
Idiot, "CHIN" in Boxing does not literally mean the chin on your face. It refers to a person's ability to take punishment. Seriously, this board is full of retards.
Alot of dirty tactics by Diaz. They interfered with the gloves (not allowing Amir to use his regular Reebok gloves), he told Maidana not to touch gloves at the start and purposely dropped alot of water on the canvas before the first round so that Amir would slip while running.
I can quite believe all that actually, because Cortez asked for their towel again just before the fight started, to mop up the wet. So as much as Ariza is a bit of a dick at times, thats seriously bad of Diaz.
He had a bad chin at 135 for 3 reasons:
1. Weight drained.
2. Too much muscle on upper body and weak legs
3. Not enough focus.

Amir Khan took some heavy uppercuts and right hands. And did not touch the canvas once. Maidana touched the canvas. Ortiz touched the canvas 3 times against Maidana.
Amir Khan has one of the best chins in Boxing.
Khans chin is still alright he got stunned a few times early and then was rocked big time in the tenth dont see how he awnsered the critics in that department.What will help Khan out is his amazing conditioning which like Bradley allows him to recover pretty quick
the fact that he got hit a number of timmes by a much bigger puncher, flush, and didn't go down..
Good win for Khan last night but man, he is just waiting to be KOed brutally.
look at this idiot...talking all the smack in the world before the fight and after he faces the toughest challenge in the division...still discrediting him...GTFO with that BS...if one of the hardest hitter couldn't knock him down...I don't see who can...

by whom? Bradley? Alexander?
EXACTLY. I don't see any major obstacles to Khan ruling 140 now. Bradley will be competitve, but will lose a UD, and i like Bradley too.
At 147, the chin will be a problem again. There's really powerful quick guys there like Mosley/Berto/Cotto/Pac. Not sure if he can handle something like a right cross from Shane or one of Cotto's left hooks. or even one of Berto's uppercuts
I'll be rooting for him though :boxing:
that was a fan - not part of team khan. Ellie doesn't know much :)
and anyway, what do you expect to be said - that he's got an OK chin and he'll get KTFO soon?
couldve said nothing at all lol
