    You clearly don't understand the sport as well as you think Zak seeing as you are disregarding the fact that he's moved up in weight, making it more comfortably and is far more proportioned at 140 than he was at 135 (where he was too top heavy, his legs are far thicker nowadays).

    Zakman is starting to sound like a broken record, which is sad, even for Zakman....

    No, actually I do understand that. Some of these picks are frankly, based on wishful thinking. You know, like hoping that lottery number hits. Clearly, they haven't.:oops:

    So far, it seems as if your theory has some merit, and there is precedent for it (DeLaHoya's chin was kind of shaky at lighter weights, for example; Miguel Cotto had problems before he moved up) - but I am not at all convinced, based on fights against the rather limited Maidana (whose punching power I believe is overrated) and a Judah who was clearly more washed up than I imagined, and more looking for some retirement money than anything else.

    Time will tell - you COULD be right. But I want to see Khan against some truly top level fighters, before I am convinced that his chin is truly that much better than I thought. If you look at it his early career - the amateurs, the carefully picking light-hitting opponents at the start of his career, and the KO to Prescott - there is still significant evidence for MY theory!

    But he's probably going to fight Mayweather next after Ortiz and he could very well get stopped having moved up in weight again and fought an ATG fighter. And then you will sit here claiming you were right all along, even when you've predicted his last 9 fights wrong, and when there would be no shame in losing to Floyd.

    Maidana can definitely bang there's no question, and whilst Khan was in trouble he stayed up and took some big punches. I didn't see the Judah fight (will watch it sometime this week) but I heard he got caught with a couple of good shots and took them well. Khan's chin at 135 was poor but I believe that was more down to his conditioning, I still think it's average at 140 but if he had a glass-jaw still Maidana would have splattered his arse all over the canvas when he connected and he didn't.

    :lol::rofl:patsch

    Didn't happen. Judah only landed 20 punches in the whole fight and none were worth anything.

    Haha, what an abysmal fail. Khan teaming up with Roach and Ariza has turned into the glass jaw checkers worst nightmare

    I try to limit my posts to Khan and Morales fights as I'm a big fan of theirs, plus now Ortiz too after the Berto fight. (That fight was INSANE to watch live).

    Also, don't call me Osama. Call me Muhammad Ali if you wish to imply that Amir Khan being muslim has anything to do with me following him.

    Shut up ******, Judah caught him with a good hook right near the end of the first or second round.

    Oh, if Mayweather knocks him out, you can rest assured I'm gonna have some fun with that!:lol:

    And like I said, you could be right about Khan's punch resistance improving at the higher weight. SO FAR, the evidence appears to bear your theory out. I, however, am looking for a larger sample size before I discard my theory as inaccurate. As I said, time will tell!:good

    So,even if Khan did posses a glass jaw,which is debatable,how does that make him a "Konman"?

    Judah caught Khan with some very good flush counters, nothing devastating but hard enough (and right on the button), plus a mean blow to the body (I think it was the beginning of the 5th before Zab got stopped, not sure though), and Khan took them and fired right back with his own. He really is shaping up to be a great fighter.
