An anecdote about Khan and PED use

[Vadrigar.]

I suspected this guy of using PEDs at some point. Specifically when he was trained by Freddie Roach with Ariza as his strength and conditioning coach.

As soon as Khan binned Ariza - and that was soon after Manny did following the blood test fiasco during negotiations with Mayweather in 2010 - Khan stopped knocking people out or even hurting quality opponents and started to look chinny again. His performance against Maidana - the hardest puncher he's faced too - was atypical and su****ious. That onslaught he survived in round 10 did not fit in with what we know about Khan's durability and he's not shown that before or since.

could be possible, but in the case of the maidana fight, you should also take into consideration that Khan took very much steam out of maidana with the body shot and Maidana never knocked anyone out past the eighth round.
Also, it was the Pre-Garcia version, who went life and death with Erik Morales.

VERY possible imo.

Khan ko'd Judah with a bodyshot in the summer of 2011.

In general he stopped looking as good because his level of competition increased. He immediately got a stoppage after his ko loss to Garcia because he fought a lower level opponent again.

As for the Maidana fight, I think Chino's poor finishing ability is one of the reasons Khan survived. Khan was still stumbling like a drunk 2 full minutes after he took that shot. But Chino was no surgeon.

None of this is to say he hasn't been on PEDS. I just don't buy the theory.
