    My point is that these are big punches that put Khan away, I'm not saying he has an amazing chin, its not and is a weakness. but its not complete china is it, he takes punches to a degree and is put away by bombs. he can deal with mediocre punchers but not monster punchers. thus its an average chin, not china cant take one knock. I dont know how else to explain it to be honest, people just love the china label and i dont agree its always warranted.

    I know how to explain it - Khan has no ****ing chin. You can't keep calling yourself elite then getting knocked out by everyone then only beating light punchers. Even most of the bums Khan's fought have KOd or wobbled him then he bleats incessantly about Mayweather, it's ridiculous.

    Guys with average chins will get KO'ed by decent punchers especially if you have the defensive flaws of Khan which lead him to be easily countered, which is why all 3 of his KO losses have come via counter punches. So in this regard these KO's were more to do with Khan's openness to being countered rather than the quality of his chin.

    But guys with average chins do not get dropped by the likes of Willie Limond, the guy has a 26% KO ratio. Also while the reason behind Khan's KO losses are due to defensive flaws the manner of those KO's show his lack of durability, he didn't just get dropped he got KTFO by Canelo and Prescott.

    Khan has a china chin, it's not even up for debate. Limond dropped him, Algieri who is feather fisted had him hurt as well.

    Judah hasn't knocked out a top fighter since Cory Spinks in 2005, his power had diminished by the time he fought Khan.

    Khan should retire. That was a brutal KO.

    I don't like him, but I'm worried about his health.

    I hate to be a "that shot would have KO'd anyone".. but it probably would have... remember there's 2 parts to getting KTFO.. one is a bad chin yes, the other is horribly of of position defense.

    what the **** was Khan doing to put himself in place to be hit by that. The truth is that Khan has terrible defensive skills... he doesn't know how to block shots and be in position to block shots.. he tries to dodge them. That's how you get KTFO so many times being completely open to clean heavy shots.
