    Just re watching Khan v Maidana

    Seriously entertaining fight, concensus at the time was the first time Maidana landed anything above the neck Khan would be down for a 10 count, when Khan floored Maidana badly with a first round bodyshot it was crazy, I thought Maidana was DONE. Then when Maidana landed flush with a BOMB late on and somehow Khan survived.

    the best performance of Khan's career, probably the most disappointing night for Maidana who went on to those great fights vs floyd

    Great fight, Maidana was able to survive a huge body shot (which does happen often, Gatti in round 9 is the only one I can think of to be honest) and he almost won. To finish a fight after that would be great, let alone the come back he made, he came so close to pulling it out.
    They should have had a rematch, but I'm sure Khan didn't want that.
    Maidana was a must watch fighter, the Ortiz fight was legendary and the Broner fight was a classic also.
    Would have loved to see Chino fight Manny or even Provodnikov, his fights were always exciting, he even made a Floyd fight worth watching (unlike the Manny fight, which I actually fell asleep in the middle of the fight).

      Great fight..... But i wouldn't say it was disappointing for Maidana... He almost stopped Khan who was on fire at the time. Props goes to Khan for surviving those late rounds.

      Crazy Khan end up being a fraud and Maidana goes on to give Floyd his toughest fight next to the Controversial Castillio fight

        As much criticism as Khan gets, he always has great fights. Partly because he gets KO’d, but still.
        Even in the fights he loses, they’re awesome action packed fights.

        Khan DSG
        Khan Maidana
        Khan Canelo
        Khan Prescott
        Khan Malignaggi
        Khan Judah
        Khan Alexander

        Good fights.
