he did, but despite the criticism of Malignaggi he had the skills to land punches. Maybe Maidana does too, I haven't really seen enough of him but if he doesn't, then there is a way for Khan to win.Comment

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.
Roach told an old friend a while back that “Goody was right,’’ when asked about Petronelli’s philosophy. No amount of weight work to strengthen neck muscles, for example, will alter how quick a fighter’s brain goes blank when hit on the chin. That ability to absorb shock is a gift from a Higher Power not something you can improve, like a jab or a hook.
Angelo Dundee, who guided the great Muhammad Ali, sees no great mystery. “You can't train a chin,” he said, simply.
Happy debating guys.Comment

I'm not really much of a Khan fan, I accept he has a glass chin but I'm not that familiar with Maidana so I'm not sure whether the latter is good enough to get close and nail Khan. Granted he might be, but still, at least Khan took the fight, I respect him for that if nothing else.Comment

If Kotelnik could survive it and win a fight against him where Maidana looks like a newborn child and Kotelnik looks like a trainwreck....anythings possible.Comment
