Khan's "Iron Chin" Against Maidana Proves His Losses Were Due To Weight-Draining

[F!x]

Khan is often criticized by less-knowledgeable boxing fans (and simply Khan haters) for having a "glass chin" but we saw that Maidana was unable to put Khan down even once in their fight. This is the same Maidana who floored, multiple times Adrien Broner, Victor Ortiz, Josesito Lopez, Soto Karass etc..

Khan never hit the canvas against Maidana even after taking similar shots to other fighters who have been floored by him. The reason is glaringly obvious but some just don't wish to admit it.. In the Maidana fight, Khan simply wasn't weight-drained like he was against Prescott and Garcia. There are also other circumstances surrounding those two fights which contribute to the losses. A new trainer who told Khan to rush Prescott and try to KO him in round one - that was of course the worst possible game plan going into the fight against a proven power puncher - especially when you yourself are weight-drained. In the Garcia fight, Roach wasn't even present for most of the camp because he was training Pacquiao in the Philippines - Khan trained himself for most of that fight camp. Still, the weight-draining can't be overlooked no matter how critical these other factors are.

The effects of weight-draining happened to Manny in his early career, he was knocked out twice due to being weight-drained. De La Hoya was a shell of himself against Manny due to weight-draining. Feather-fisted Ward knocked out a weight-drained Chad Dawson. Weight-draining does that to a fighter, it's been proven time and again.

But Khan's battle with Maidana shows that he in fact has better punch resistance and chin than average, when he's not weight-drained because he was able to withstand the firepower which fighters such as Broner, Ortiz and Lopez just couldn't deal with. He was able to do that because he wasn't weight-drained so his true punch resistance was allowed to reveal itself. Could it be argued that a Khan who isn't weight-drained actually has an Iron Chin?

I think it had more to do with PEDs.

If you read a British newspaper you know Khan, since he's a teen until now, is heavily tested by the British Board of Boxing. They have the authority to do this.

But he fights poor ass ricans, mexicans, or blacks, so of course everyone he's fighting is PEDed out to the max, like Lamont Peterson - poor black person - proved.

Khan is clean. The British government made sure of that. His opponents? Not so much.

I think I finally found out who he beat to earn the floyd shot. here take a look =

Khan barely got hit until the 9th round when Maidana was fatigued and had no speed what so ever. He could see the slow ass punches coming a mile off and took most of the sting off them.

Maidana has much improved since, Khan has declined.

Weight-draining lol hes been knocked down or buckled with just about every shot hes ever taken.

He has a weak chin with the durability of wet toilet paper covered in poo, deal with it.

Out of it and saved by the ref against Maidana
Hurt multiple times and running for his life against Peterson
Heavily dropped by Julio Diaz
KTFO by Garcia
Knocked out in 1 by Prescott
Dropped by the feather-fisted Willie Limmond, saved by the corrupt ref.
Dropped by Drizdane, a guy with about a 3% K.O ratio
Dropped by career super featherweight Michael Gomez

Its safe to say he has no chin what so ever.

Most sports are rife with PEDS.

But boxing is the only sport the openly supports PEds cheats, therefore its the only sport that literally tells its fighters, you should be using pEDS or you're an idiot.

Lamont Peterson? Roy Jones? Berto? Boxing says, as long as you win, using peds is great! Keep doing it.

Now Khan is an celebrated amateur and an olympic medalist, the BBOB has had Khan being randomly dope tested since he was 14 years old.

If you're a clean fighter like Khan, and 90% of everyone else is on roids, they're PEDs will catch up to your speed and athletic abilities sooner or later.
