    Perforated ear drums make you lose balance. Ear drums help your balance.

    Not saying his chin isn't glass.

    It's not an excuse but it didn't look like he got hit flush on the chin. I guess it doesn't matter if the shot wasn't flush it still affected the chin from the shot.

    Pulev will move on, belt will be vacant and pricey will pick it up against someone ****.

    They'll have to do something to get him shifting those seats in Liverpool again, this would be my guess. They can sell him getting the Euro belt big time, bar some disgrace like how Cleverly picked up his world title, he never picks up a world level belt.

    I'm not even sure Fury considers himself British, to be honest. There are question marks over his chin, but they are just suspicions at the moment and shouldn't be compared to Price, who is and always has been, not the greatest punch-resistor in the world.

    How you can call any boxer a disgrace for having a weak chin is beyond me, I suppose you can take bombs all night long right?

    No, but you can have a good enough defense so that a dodgy chin doesn't become an issue in every fight. Khan has achieved a lot and shouldn't be compared to Price who has done nothing beyond winning a national title and is already 30 years old. Khan's chin isn't as bad as Price's.

    Khan has benefited from cautious and careful matchmaking. I never said Khan had a worse Chin as Price clearly has a worse Chin that Khan which was my point on how it is going to be even harder for him to comeback.

    Price does have legit right hand power to keep some fighters honest Khan doesn't have that. That was my point. Khan is feather fisted and can't keep anyone off him Price will be able to to that to a certain extent and it will help him.

    He's far from the first fighter to step up to a veteran and get set back. But, in this case, the veteran is so clearly below the elite of his division that it is a particularly harmful loss. Add in that he has shaky whiskers as a heavyweight and it doesn't bode well.

    Not everybody can safety first it like Wlad.

    Glass Jaws exist in Boxing. We talk Chins on ESB. That is a Fact. If you don't want to hear Chin Talk scurry off to another Boxing Forum. We WILL talk Chins on here as they are an attribute and perhaps the most important attribute for a fighter to have.

    Hes a massive wanker with a chin obsession. Not only is he full of **** but hes a grade A ****.

    It's pretty bad that Prices chin is so clearly worse than Khans when Khans is as bad as it is. That is one bad chin.

    That punch looked pretty weak, could be the worst jaw in recent history amongst the hype jobs?

    No I agree with you completely that prices chin is abysmal just think to call him a disgrace to boxing because of that is strange?

    British domestic level. Someone like Towers will probably smash him out.

    Fields vs Price. Someones getting dropped bad in that.

    Would have loved the Perez fight to have been made, that would have been awesome if Perez bombed him out. Would have been exciting times for once at heavyweight.

    No disrespect,but Khans in a division full of beasts,and he's fought a lot of them.David,on the other hand,is in a heavyweight division which IMO is not overladen with talent and Thompson the only contender he's fought.Pound for pound Amirs opposition probably hit harder.As such,think David can become a contender but probably not champion.
