    Kotelnik beat Maidana immediately before the Khan fight. As I said Brooks record doesn't stand up to scrutiny against Khan's.

    I don't think there is any precedence to suggest Mayweather would stop him.

    I guess we will have to find out if Khan gets his chance. But generally I think there are better fighters out there than Amir 'glass chin' Khan. Time will tell ...

    Khan is * as soon as he gets a big hit to the jaw.

    30 fights, knocked out in 55 second in one loss which can happen to anyone at the start of their career and beat by a World Class fighter in Garcia in the other. The Peterson loss isn't even worth mentioning, deducted points for pushing a confirmed steroid user in a fight he would have won otherwise.

    You are suggesting he has a glass chin, I'm suggesting that's hyperbole. He has been troubled when taking power shots in the past but he's fought quality fighters and won, Devon Alexander one of the best.

    The weekend's performance stands up against ANYONE, he was rifling off combinations and moving away with such frequency he made a quality fighter look mediocre.

    There are better boxers out there, no one doubts that. Recent posts here do show that he get's held to a ridiculous standard though. We have people slating him because the biggest p4p puncher in boxing who happens to be 2 weight classes above Khan would stop him.
