    Thats wht i said before, i said ortiz dropped maidana...N id say khan can to...he only kept away from kotelnik to get used 2 actually boxing....and also because kotelniks chin is solid...he wasnt gona drop him, but i think if he can keep away from the big punches of maidana, he can drop him!

      Ortiz made the mistake of standing and fighting Maidana, had he moved and boxed him he'd of won that fight by ko

I ask because Maidana has a bit of a dodgy chin himself and if they fight does khan have the power to drop or Ko Maidana? If he has that then i have to lean toward khan, because i think khan is faster and more skilled than maidana and can land a lot of shots before maidana can land the bomb.

        what do you think?
        He does have the power but i doubt he will drop Maidana because since the cat was let out the bag that he has glass chin he does not fight as aggressively and he has sacrificed his power for speed. Khan is not trying to punch hard these days since what happened with Prescott.

          I think Khan's power is average for 140. He wasn't much of a hitter at 135 and in the Kotelnik fight it looked like a lot of his punches didn't have much power behind them. But then again, Kotelnik has a good chin and high guard, and Khan didn't really hit him flush with a hard shot.
          This is true, you only gotta see how long it took Hatton and Cotto to get rid of Maussa and compare it to how long it took Ortiz.
