    I mean it's pretty impossible to make a case for Amir not having a glass jaw considering the two devastating knock out defeats he's had. But Let me play devils advocate for a moment............

    How the **** did he take all that punishment from Maidana?! Especially round 10 where he was pushed around like a rag doll, was on wobbly legs but did not go down. Same with PEDerson, who's not a power puncher by any means, but he took some big shots in that fight, without going down.

    What are the chances that Khan does in fact have a good Chin, and only got KO'd by Garcia because that huge shot landed in a really awkward place? And the round after he was still hurt and wobbling from that shot, which is why he went down?

    Khan suffers more from a bad defence than a glass jaw, the two knock outs were caused by large punches, large punches which someone with a good defence wouldn't have been hit by.

    Against Garcia he got hit with a hard shot he didn't see but with Maidana when he got hit and tumbled into the ropes (I believe he would have touched the canvas) also I don't think the shot was as precise as the one that Garcia nailed him with also Maidana was already tired towards the end of the fight and given he's slow as **** he wasn't able to apply enough pressure to finish Khan off, also nobody doubts Khan's heart....he sucked it up for those last few rounds.

    Khan wasn't in the middle of the ring when Maidana was whipping on his ass, he had the ropes to prevent him from going down

    When Garcia Tagged him, he was in the middle of the ring

    Don't think Khan will be KTFO with one punch, but one punch can have him wobbly as ****.. A good boxer will take advantage of this and finish Khan, Maidana isn't on Garcia's level which is why he didn't finish Khan.. I think if Maidana had more skill he would have stopped Khan in that fight as well.

    As it's been said, Khan has defensive problems.. Better boxers will be able to finish him off after hurting him, which we've seen is quite possible to do.

    There are trademark punchlines to your question: The punch that hurts you is the one you can't see. So Khan was expecting to be hit from Maidana and I think he liked the experience.

    No the reason he didn't finish Khan was because it was the 10th round of a long hard fight for him whilst Garcia was fresh and had time to get the KO.

    So does Khan have a crap chin or not?! Or was it just a case of having a crap defence and getting caught with a monster shot in a vulnerable area?

    Garcia whacked his ass right on the neck. Maidana knicked his chin with the overhand. 2 different impact points

    either way Khan was rocked in both fights though, just in one he managed to stay up
