At 5'10 Khan is a big lightweight, but I feel he is weight drained at 135. His legs are very skinny to start with and at 135 even more, at 140 he can beef up his legs and make the weight better. I feel this will also improve his chin.
allot of people have had that theory and roach did to. but Khan is adamant he wants to fight at 135lbs, even though a fight with Hatton would make both Millions.
I very much dislike Hatton's fighting style and feel he is very much over-rated. That being said, he would maul Khan.
When he is hit he is hurt. Is not about the legs. The 5 pounds are not going at his head and at 140 he is going to absorb harder punches. At lightweight he is very big and looks very strong. So I think if he is careful he can make some good things at that weight.
No, 5 pounds would make a difference, his body would be better hydrated, and a bit more size on legs will help his chin. Khan has been lightweight for 5 growing years, that is crazy.
lol what do you think a crafy vet like Nate Campbell would do to Khan? That punch that knocked Funeka down would of starched Khan out cold.
a chin is not a jab,you cannot work on it and tweak it in training. you either have a good one or you dont,simple as. how would fighting bigger guys and naturally slightly harder punchers help this?
khan can work out his shoulder and chest muscles until it is soo big it will hide his chin. there, problem fixed.
When will you people realize that Khan's Chin is so bad that NOTHING will help it? Not trainers, managers, promoters, moving up in weight etc. The guy has a Glass Jaw one of the worst if not the worst in the sport and that is never going to change. Khan is fighting on borrowed time.
Its not the chin but the brain, its needs to be fully hydrated, a dehydrated person is very easy to knock and they slow down quickly, I think AK is too big for a light weight as well, Amir and Ricky would be a great fight! If RH loses to Pac lets prey he gets a AK, Roach will be one happy git.
Khan has had no problem making 135. The weight-draining excuse is made up by his fans in an attempt to explain away Khan's weak chin. If Khan moves upto 140 he will be in ever more trouble. The guys there hit harder and are bigger. He won't be the bigger man in the ring as he is at LW.
if he's been getting dropped off people like Limond and Gomez imagine what Torres would do to that chin.
