    I am glad that Khan took a lot of shots as well because I wanted to see that his chin was not weak. I was never sold that he had a weak chin but I was suspect.

    Now that Khan has proven he has a solid chin, he's the most complete fighter in the game today.

    What a great fight.
    Dude, come on.

      Khan proved he has more of a chin than was suspected, not a great chin.
      Yes Khan deserves to win by points, but he was rocked, and if Roach had stopped it or had Maidana stopped him it would have not surprised me one bit.
      Me and everyone I watched the fight with all thought the fight was gonna get stopped when Maidana was wiping him all over that ring.
      Starkiller you have some personal problem with Khan? he has heart and charisma.
      Maidana deserves recognition as well, so what he played the role of the villan, and just because most fighters touch gloves doesn't mean one who did not is now some sort of criminal. He came into the ring with a purpose, no time for courtesies, so let him roll with that. That doesn't mean he has down right unsportsmanship like conduct. Get a grip.
      awesome fight, Khan won, but they both walk away victors in my book.
      It could have went either way, Khan is pretty fortunate not to get KO/TKOed IMO and Maidana is fortunate not to pull a disqual or something ******ed, but they both gave it their all, and that is what I as a boxing fan ask for.
      Good luck to both in 2011!

          Cortez also told Khan he's stopping the fight if he keeps taking more punishment like that after that same round.

                Doesn't surprise me. When Khan went back to the corner, I felt 100% certain he wouldn't make it through the 11th round. What a tough man.
