Not really.
Khan did get hit by Paulie, but he chased the fight insead of box like how he did against Kotelnik.
I have seen Khan box live VS St Claire, and believe me, he is damn fast, has good ring generalship when he chooses to. That was his first 12 roudner, and he knew that St Claire has never been stopped before so decided to box, and won all 12 rounds.
Now Maidana is obviously another animal to St Claire, but then Khan is also improved. Kotelnik hit Alexnader pretty easily, that's a hittable guy.
Yes Paulei did hit Khan, but he has really fast hands and can box and is accurate. That's why he has been in close fights with Cotto and others despite his lack of power.
Maidana does not have that kind of speed. Nor does he have true 1 punch KO power, he breaks guys down. He will need to hit this Khan about 5 times to send him down, Khan was just not in a god way VS Prescott who hurt him with a jab... maybe it was the weight, I don't know, but that was not normal.
