If Khan really had a glass jaw, how did he fight 6 rounds vs 175 Canelo?

    Cause it took Canelo six rounds to time him, or for Khan to get sloppy

    Daft question.
    Khan spent most of the early rounds keeping his distance from Canelo (NOT controlling the distance, as I've heard some half-wits suggest). As soon as Khan stopped dancing around, out of reach, and Canelo had him in range, Khan got steamrolled into the canvas.
    It was just a matter of time and no great feat on Khan's part. It was his legs that got him as far as he did; certainly not his chin.

    Holy **** are people still defending this man's 100% unadulterated glass? The dude can't take a decent punch. I could probably take more than that man and he trains his neck everyday.

    Canelo is a 155 lbs fighter. Unless you're willing to call Khan a middleweight lol

    Wow...

    The OP is making out that Khan took some heavy shots before the KO.

    Go watch the fight again. The shots canelo landed were not heavy shots at all.

    Amir Khan't has the worst chin in the sport and yet he still talks like he's p4p worthy. It sickens me. I've never been a Canelo fan, but I was oddly for him against Khan't. And I thought for sure Canelo would KO him and I was right. And I thought for sure we could be done with Khan's delusional nonsense. But he only got WORSE!!!!!!

    It says more about Canelo than it does Khan.

    Any middle weight who throws more than 20 punches a round would have KO'd Khan sooner.

    Canelo is just a very very slow starter. Hence why underdogs always steal rounds from him.

    How many times does Khan have to hit the canvas before his fanboys admit his got a glass chin?

    It took only 1 missile to land to spark him. Canelo didn't even throw much he knew it only took

    one loaded bomb to put him to sleep.That's how much confidence he had. Oscar Dela fish net

    knew this and still tried to fool the public.

    It appears some people don't understand what a Glass Jaw is, even when shown it repeatedly.

    Canelo hit him with a couple flush shots earlier in the fight (especially the round before the KO) but Khan took them well because they weren't full power shots and he also saw them coming.

    Khan's major issue is the shots he doesn't see coming. That's been his Achilles heel everytime he got knocked out- it came from a powerful counterpunch.

    He's a solid fighter but his chin and balance can't hold up against strong guys with good counterpunching ability.

    Khan took some heavy blows and was doing well. That punch would have KO any other boxers out.

    It's undeniable, his chin's not the best.
    In fairness he hasn't got a glass heart though.
