    Wtf is wrong with Khan's trainers if they haven't addressed something as important as that? Makes no sense.

    According to Khan that isn't necessary, because he doesn't have a glass chin/neck at all :!:

    Thats sad. My gym in the bronx had a weight machine for the neck.


    Its believable tho. Boxing gyms unfortunately base alot of training method on old school tactics only. For example, there isnt nearly as enough focus on legs in boxing.

    but Alex Ariza is a so called "scholar" in sports training, but he didn't think about something as simple as this?

    Ariza - "wrong build - top heavy"
    Tabares - "Not lean enough no need to lose water weight under my training" - (led to a 2008 looking Khan)
    Hunter - "These ****ers don't know ****"

    Neck strength is important. Stops it getting snapped. Mayweather does alot of Neck stuff.

    Did you all assume like I did that Khan was training his neck? I just assumed he was.

    A strong thick neck means you can take impacts better.

    See George Chuvalo, Holybutt and Marvin Hagler.

    Having a short neck also helps.

    Virgil Hunter sounds like he knows his ****.

    I think Khan made a good choice.
     
  13. It'd be funny if he gets KTFO again in his next fight.
