      Depends what you mean by solid. Prob wouldn't have lost to Prescott. But Garcia and Canelo would still have ko him

      Also Peterson won a decision so. No

        Maidana was his best win. I still can't believe he pulled it off.

          Not with his fighting style. You cannot throw 6/7 punches, without someone timing you with a sweet counter.

              This and it's a lazy jab that he brings back to his hips after throwing it.

                For the 1,000,000th time...

                KHAN IS NOT AS GOOD AS HE AND HIS FANS WILL TELL ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN.

                  His chin only got worse because of his flaws. IMO, leaving your chin exposed, squaring up, having no inside game, fighting at one speed, relying on said speed to much and having no real good punch variation is why he gets tagged as much as he does. He also just fights weird, if that makes sense. No real ability to adapt among all the reasons i stated, and even a few i didn't is why i say no. If he had a margarito chin he'd still have the same problems

                    His defence and ring IQ are terrible so it wouldn't make much difference.

                      I only think his bad chin only really came into play when he was getting dropped by Limond and Gomez. They were warning signs. Not big punchers putting him down with seemingly not big punches.

                      But he has been sparked properly by big punchers landing huge punches. Take someone like Garcia who has a very good chin - would he have taken the Prescott bombs, his own big left hook, or Canelo's misile? I doubt it.

                      Khan will likely get highlight reeled KO'd by Pacquiao too. The very best fighters and even some not so good fighters just find a way to time Khan and hit him with their best shots.
