    Don't see how you can say Amir has a **** chin. You don't go 12 with Maidana while having a **** chin.

    He took some mean shots in that fight.

    And he's never been knocked COLD. In the Garcia fight, he got up every time and could have continued.

    Bump. Amir's chin is very underrated imo.

    Amir Khan is made of glass, from legs to chin.

    Every time he is hit hard he shakes, and when he is hurt, he runs and his senses visibly fumble all over the place. Garcia vs. Khan, watch it and you have your answer.

    They both have pretty bad chins imo. But Amir has never been put to sleep. He's chicken danced many more times though.

    :think

    Atleast we see Khan trying to get up, Manny seems to think it's ok to do a Linda Blair Exorcist impersonation in the middle of the ring.

    I am actually very curious about something come May 4th...

    How will Mayweather and Guerrero deal with boxing around Pacquiao's corpse at the MGM? Surely that corner of the ring will be left alone for fear of tripping on his body or getting trapped in the corner because of it.

    He wouldn't have been in mid-air with a massive caveman lunge, thus JMM would have never thrown the punch and if he did it would have been greatly telegraphed. And then countered.

    Also worth noting, the majority of Pac fans seem to think JMM would have tested positive in build up to the fight so, it would have never happened even if it were signed.

    The punch would have never landed on him i know but the thread is about chins
    Comparing Pac's to Khan's is a joke

    Khan's is very underrated. He's faced his fair share of BIG punchers.

    Khan does not have a good dependable chin. But he also leaves his chin out there to be hit when he starts to brawl. Manny has taken big punches which Khan would have never taken. Who has a better chin now is hard to say. We have to see how Manny recovers from that knockout in Dec. I never thought Manny would be knocked out by Marquez to be honest. I thought it would be more Margarito, someone like that who is bigger. i think Marquez knocking out Manny and knocking him down earlier shows that Manny has diminished quite a bit after all those tough fights against good fighters.

    Floyd has the worse chin of all , judah and ortiz had him running when they tagged him. Mosley hit him with two punches and they both buckled him.

    Glass chin , glass balls.
