    Khan will always have a dodgy chin in my opinion. Unless his chin improves a la Felix Trinidad

    If Khan thinks he can handle the shots of guys like Maidana or Judah, he's delusional. His management knows better which is why they had him fight guys with ridiculously low KO percentages (and in some cases, ZERO) early in his career.

    The Prescott thing was a major **** up - and who knows, if what you say is true about Khan's delusions about his ability to take a punch, maybe he asked for it. But it's pretty clear that once that happened, they quickly went right back to the light-hitters.

    Boxing is about making money. His managment will protect Khan's fragile glass jaw as long as they can to make as much money as possible - before they have to give up the ghost and put him in with somebody who can punch. And then, he'll end up out cold again.

    There was a time when he did let his hands go. He can't let them go like that because it means you get hit in return and he can't take the punches that come back at him. Tzyu sparked him in 2 (though to this day I still argue that Judah should have been given a fair 10 count) there was no stamina issues there, just poor punch resistance.

    Not by feather fisted Khan he isn't. Judah's Chin is awful but Khan's is way worse and Khan does not have any power at 140.

    Of course! Khan's people wouldn't put him in with Judah unless they absolutely HAD to. Shame too. I'd love to see this fraud starched again. WHat's wonderful is that I know it's gonna happen as soon as they're forced to put him in with anyone who can punch!:hey

    Well lets be honest, Khan handled the prescott fight like an idiot. He got up before the ten count and instead of covering up and giving himself to recover like any boxer who got hit flush in the temple and jaw, he went right back in it and tried to brawl wildly with him. Khan is a smarter fighter now, that high guard he uses now has kept him from absorbing any substantial punishment. different fighter. an early 1rko like that in a fighters career doesn't necessarily mean that he has a glass chin or cant take a shot period. Jack Dempsey was knocked out in similar fashion early on and I doubt anyone says the same about him being a glass jawed fighter.

    I'm not saying Khan has an iron or even good chin, but I do think it isn't as fragile as people seem.

    As for maidana.... Khan has the easiest chance to beat him out of the big three imo. His actual boxing skills are a whole letter grade below amir's and he can be dropped himself.

    Con won't be allowed to fight anyone with any pop for a very long time. Most likely GBP will "cash out" Con in 3 or 4 years. The guy gets wobbled off Jabs ffs.

    Exactly. They will keep him away from heavy hitters as long as possible- and for good reason. If Judah wanted a fight with Khan he would have had to have gotten starched in the first himself - and even then I doubt the Khan people would have taken the fight! Now? A snowball has a better chance of lasting in hell.:lol:

    Zab is still a frontrunner, I was not impressed with his stamina at all yesterday. In the 3rd round he was already fighting with his mouth open.

    there was no real issue with the Judah count though, forget that nady stopped it for a second.......


    from the time Zab was knocked down by Tszyu to the time he jumped up and went down again more than ten seconds had clearly passed, Nady could either stop the fight when he went down the 2nd time or simply keep counting, you dont get to reset the counter if you go up and down like a basketball:good

    The man's been inactive for so long there is absolutely no way he could have gotten world class stamina back(if he ever had it). Agreed.

    :lol: at khan being wobbled from jabs, you would say pretty much anything to discredit khan wouldn't you jerome?

    Judah would be the last kid Khan fights. I would actually pick Khan to win, too.
