    he was very chinny but still became a top fiver P4p. but saying that he was KNocked out by some big bangers. i don't know if he was hurt by feather fisted guys like willie limmond

    Khan basicaly has every atribute necesary to be great except durability.

    It will be interesting to see how far he can work round this limitation.

    norris is chinny but he does have incredible amounts of get up ability. he got up form the jackson knockdown, was on his feet and a bit of a dodgy stoppage against mullings,


    khan doesnt know what he is doing in the ring norris seemed to not have control of his body but knew that he didnt want to get hit....also he fights back hard when he is hard...check the waters fight.

    khan to me just seems stands infront of his man and seems to do nish.

    Getting stopped by Julian Jackson doesnt really compare to getting stopped by the great Breidis Prescott.

    Absolutely. Norris is the prime example of what can be achieved even if cursed with weak chin.

    Won almost 20 world title fights after being completely sparked in his 1st world title challenge. Came back to dominate another figher who had simply destroyed him & took his title.

    There's obviously some similarities with Norris & Khan. Khan admittedly seems to be even more chinny but also has good recouperative powers, plus the devastating loss doesn't seem to have affected him mentally.

    No one is expecting Khan to dominate a division like Norris did but he's got the talent alone to have some success at top level imo.
