So what happens if Khans gets KO'd again?

Yeah right, will hamed be introduced to the boxing hall of fame? I don't think so, Hamed cherry picked his opponents , as soon as Hamed faced a top feathweight in Barrera he was schooled, he was offered a return but refused he had a few more fights after that but was never the same after that fight,

You can't cherry pick for five years straight. You have to face contenders like he did.

You know nothing..

The one time Hamed did step up to the elite level, he was thrashed. Most important to consider is the way Prince Naseem Hamed handled his one loss in the ring. Once Barrera exposed the emperor had no clothes, instead of going back to the gym to work on flaws and demand a rematch, Hamed largely disappeared from the ring and never fought another meaningful match. Truly great fighters prove themselves by rebounding from adversity to become even better, not by pulling a disappearing act.

There was certainly more money, fame and glory to be had, but Prince Naseem Hamed chose to walk away from the sport without giving himself a second chance to prove he could hang with certain first ballot hall of fame boxers such as Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales or Manny Pacquiao.

I mean, it'll reflect on his chin, but it depends on what happens. Maidana's a freaky puncher - if he just grinds Khan down and stops him in 9-10, so be it. We already knew Khan wasn't that tough and like I said earlier, Maidana can seriously hit. However, if he gets stopped in round 1 again, I'd say his career is kaput.

When he beat Vazquez he should have unified the belts. Unless you think Cermeno deserved it.
