Amir Khan Dominates Paulie Malignaggi for 11th Round Stoppage

Amir Khan had the most dominant victory of his career against a top 5 ranked junior welterweight in Paulie Malignaggi. Khan systematically dominated Malignaggi in one of the most incredible displays of technical boxing skills this year. Khan's victory shows that he has grown significantly since his only loss to Breidis Prescott. This is a new Khan. Anyone fighting around junior welterweight will need to be weary of Khan. Although Malignaggi didn't have the tools to test Khan's chin, he really didn't have many opportunities to break through even if he had the power. Khan is a different fighter now and his chin may no longer be a major concern. His boxing skills may be good enough to shut out anyone in his division. He is a far superior boxer than Marcos Maidana who is technically not in Khan's league. However, Maidana has power and could be the guy to test Khan's chin. Malignaggi is considered one of the best boxers in the sport today but was thoroughly outclassed by Khan. Timothy Bradley versus Khan seems to be the most interesting fight in the division but I would like to see Bradley take out Maidana first. Assuming Maidana isn't scared to fight Bradley and genuinely injured then that fight could happen once Maidana's back is better. Nonetheless, there are a lot of possibilities in the most competitive weight division in boxing.
