Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Says: Me and Maidana Have Signed To Fight!

[DET. IRONSIDE]

Show me where I compared Maidana to Salita. I said I picked Khan over his past 3 opponents, but I'm picking Maidana over Khan this time

He's talking about my comment.

I was only comparing the hype not the boxers G-Dog!

But remember the Salita fight?

I'm not comparing the fighters but the pre-fight hype. All the people I knew. Boxing fans gave Salita a good puncher's chance. Salita was the mandatory so people thought he must be quality automatically

Are you real? Everyone on these forums was saying how corrupt the WBA was for making Salita their #1 contender, when he only was ranked around #50 by boxrec at the time. He also had an extremely low KO percentage (only 16 stoppages out of 31 wins, even though he had only ever fought journeymen) - so your claim that he was given a puncher's chance by anyone who knew anything about boxing is ridiculous. No one who knew anything about boxing gave him even a tiny outside chance against Khan. Even Michael Jennings and Gary Lockett were more deserving of their title shots than Salita was.

Salita got his ranking because he had a big Brooklyn following, due to his religion, and the WBA wanted to milk that for the money it could make them.

That makes sense now. Don't know why he quoted me though.

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.

Lots of hall of famers had weak chins. Terry Norris, Hearns, Wlad (who will certainly get in to the HoF, whatever you think of him), Roy Jones, lots of others.

Angelo Dundee, who guided the great Muhammad Ali, sees no great mystery. “You can't train a chin,” he said, simply.

Happy debating guys.

a) Ali's chin improved as he got older.

b) It's at least as much about basics as it is about the chin, like for instance the simple fact that Khan never used to clinch when hurt. Or that he never used to block punches. I could go on with a whole long list but I can't be bothered.

What I want to know is, if Khan wins, will you give him props? Or are you just a hater?

Yup, I'm really looking forward to it.

This is defiantely a fight ive been waiting, kahn is a tough kid maidana is a tough ass kid too. Kahn no chin maidana has chin.

This "Freak" as you call Maidana is the first guy that can punch that Khan has faced since he was obliterated by Prescott in under 60 seconds. That glass chin is going to get shattered. You will then disappear off this forum faster than a rabbit gets fcuked.

And I can already see what'll happen to you if Khan beats Maidana...you'll continue talking smack...
1) If he boxes his way to a UD you'll say he ran all night long.
2) If he wins an SD you'll say Maidana got robbed
3)If he KOs Maidana you'll say he was already exposed by Corley..

clown...
