    Diaz DREW against Shawn Porter and that's the same rare prime version of Diaz we saw who Khan BEAT clearly in one ultimately unquestionable victory. Nuff said.

        You say that as if he had a great round because he was overwhelming Khan with punches or something, he was barely throwing he just caught Khan with one of the few he was still throwing, he wasn't the first to put Khan on ***** street, but he couldn't even finish him off back then which adds even more to my point of the bad stamina issues, it was a well known fact Maidana had a soft tummy and tired easy. I still think he has a soft tummy now, but improved his stamina issues quite a bit.

          He's got good speed and pop. The chin was glass @ JWW. Will a few more pounds help him? Stamina and overall strength, maybe. But the chin? Doubtful. One can either take a good shot or not. Collazo hurt him in their bout @ WW, and he's not a heavy puncher. Every fighter he faces will test that chin, so we'll soon see.

              Unquestionable victory? I don't know what fight you were watching. Khan got floored and rocked in that fight.

              And even if he DID "unquestionably" win, it's not like that's something to brag about. It was an old Julio Diaz, I would hope he would look good.

              And the problem isn't that Khan's weight-drained. He just has a glass jaw. He got KO'd at lightweight, KO'd at JWW, and dropped at WW. And he's going to get KO'd even more at WW, against Thurman, Pacquiao, Maidana, or Brook.

                Wasnt Lennox Lewis known to have a glass Jaw after Oliver McCall, and after Rahman -1 Lewis proved to have a Decent CHin when well prepared. I think the same can be said for Khan - He may not have prepared well under Freddy Roach or early in his career. Yes he has been rocked be Diaz, and Maidana, but he recovered well. GArcia hit him in the neck, then it was a grazing head shot - and the ref called it off. Khan does not have a history of getting knocked out, and even though he has some losses - no one has outboxed him. I think his best rounds vs Maidana looked way better then FLoyd best rounds vs MAidana.

                  Most scored round 10 a 10-8 for Maidana because of exactly that.
