How come Khan was able to take

Ariza has khan going into fights with more bodyfat. This was the most ripped i have seen Khan in a long time coincidentally his first fight under ruben. Ariza knew what he was doing.

He was able to outrun the plodder....

it was jet lag. this totally justifies calzaghe's fear of flying and ducking of everyone.

I think it's because those 2 were going at Khan so Khan could see the shots coming and prepare himself for them. He ran into Garcia's shot.

This is why, Maidana has never legit knocked out a notable opponent, Ortiz don't count because he quit & has no heart. Peterson isn't a big puncher either. Ortiz has a glass jaw at that weight class, remember he walks around at 165+, he had no buisness fighting at 140...Berto hits way harder than Madaina

Khan's chin is decent, or I should say it's closer to good than decent. People want to place the entire blame on Khan's chin when in reality it's his defense, I don't understand how people could be so blind. What Maidana, Peterson and Garcia had in common was that they all could land the overhand right consistently, Khan simply can't avoid that punch. The counter left hook may have started it for Garcia, but it was a multitude of overhand rights that finished it.

To back up one poster, the important thing about the shot Garcia landed was that it landed behind the ear/on the neck - a terrible place to take a hard counter shot. Khan lost his equilibrium completely and he wasn't given a chance by Garcia to get it back. The minute inbetween the 3rd and the 4th was never going to be enough provided Garcia stayed on him. It probably doesn't mean much. But, after Khan got hit by maidana's bomb, Ariza was straight in the ring during the break working Khan with a cloth/water, It was prevalent to me that Ariza was doing everything he could possibly do to help Khan recover. Now, the difference in Khan last fight was for all to see. All that happened after Garcias left hook was an ice pack placed on Khans neck and Roach asking Khan "Are you OK". Maybe nothing would have changed, but at least put some cold water on the guys head.

Maidanas and Peterson best shots but not Garcias? Conditioning or luck Because Garcia hits harder than Maidana

IIRC, the punch that Maidana hurt Khan with in the 10th was a counter right hand over a jab that Khan brought back lazily and low. Khan gets countered a lot.

I thought Khan took a lot of steam out of Maidana's punches early on with that body punch that knocked him down. It's hard to fully recover from those.

Diff was khan didn't get countered by Maidana or Peterson he pretty much saw the shots coming but didn't have the skills to avoid them. With Garcia he never saw the shot coming and was in the process of throwing his own well said exactly what i was about to post

It was the timing if anything. Garcia timed him with a perfect shot. Maidana is powerful but wild, and Peterson isn't that powerful to begin with.

Every fight is different. Every fighter is different. If Maidana landed a shot like the one Garcia landed it would have been goodnight Khan aswell. Garcia just landed a fight finisher. Simple as that. It was not luck, it was a fight ending punch. Good post.

Peterson isn't powerful Maidana hurt him, but was too crude to finish him Garcia hurt him and didn't let him off the hook he simply fought better than Maidana or Peterson did

Peterson doesn't hit very hard and Maidana is wide & slow and he seen the punches coming at a guess.

This is why, Maidana has never legit knocked out a notable opponent, Ortiz don't count because he quit & has no heart. Peterson isn't a big puncher either.
