Do you think Khan had something taken out of him from the Maidana fight?

[Twako]

nah dont think so. he's young, and physically he can recover. mentally? his 1sr rd KO from prescott was more humiliating and look where he's at now.

[£-4-£]

The shots be took against Prescott were worse than anything Maidana landed.

He's taken only a handful of sickening shots in his career.

It's Paul Williams we should be worried about IMO, the KO Martinez dealt him was horrendous.

Khan's health is fine, the doctors gave him the all clear after scans.

Roach took many a shot in his career before he developed Parkinson's. Amir isn't at all punch-drunk.

Speaking of Punch-drunkeness, I hope Litzau doesn't get into anymore wars and gets a few good paydays. That kid needs to retire soon, otherwise his health is going to suffer even more.

What a ****ing p*ssy if the fight took a lot out of him, kid will probably start running more. He's not a warrior.

[Prince Mongo]

No I think this fight will end up doing him a lot of good and make him a better fighter. Amir has had a lot of soft fights and does not have much ware and tear and at the back of his mind must have had ??? about himself and how he would cope in a tough gruelling fight. Those questions have now been answered and he will always go into a fight knowing he can cope when the going gets tough and that can only add to his confidence. He does not need too many of those types of beatings 2 or more fights like this one will take something out of him.

[Earl-Hickey]

He'll be ok, he needs to keep away from fights like that for a little while though (ps i dont consider bradley a fight like that)

[Kagami Taiga]

hes taken a lot of damage in his young career, thats for sure. either he tighten up his defense or hes gonna have a hard time getting very far. that is indisputable.

I know this fight didnt resemble trinidad-vargas, but vargas should be a reminder that youth doesnt mean a thing and you can be runied in that one fight.

as for khan, aside from the bombs in the 10th, maidana was doing some nasty work on him throught the fight. Those uppercuts on the inside mixed with the hooks to the body were no joke. I dont think he is ruined, but i think he left a piece of himself in that ring saturday.

Not only did he take a beating in the 10th round.....but he took heavy shots from round 1 to round 12 that is not being talked about. Maidana landed 2 great overhand right shots in the first 30 seconds of round 1 and was landing clean shots in every round. Khan took a real beating in that fight and maybe his youth, freshness and conditioning got him out of him.

No...

he wasn't consistently getting beaten for 12 rounds to where if he takes another shot like that his career is over. It's the name of the game sometimes, and it's really overcoming the adversity that shows how far a fighter is going to go. I think Khan will be around for a while.

Not that I really ever questioned it more than his chin, but the kid's got a lot of heart and guts and he weathered the storm. He got my respect.

Yes, i agree that he hasnt taken tons punishment besides the Maidana fight and the 54sec with prescott. If he went on to become an olympian, that points to a lot amateur fights. Would you happen to know his amateur record or how many fights he had?

Thanks

having heart is cool. but khan isnt the type of fighter that needs to be hit. he's tall and lanky, kinda like hearns. hearns had a weak chin as well, his saving grace was that his power was so real that he could scare ppl away with his straight right hands etc. not to mention his excellent boxing skills. khan is no hearns, he doesnt have the power like hearns. but what he does have, is the athleticism and ability to become an excellent boxer, one that doesnt get hit. that's roach's job imo. those combos are nice and all, but they wont hold up for 12 rounds, hes gonna have to learn how to keep ppl off of him or hes gonna be in a heap of trouble.
