    Hyperbole ("exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.

    Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. An example of hyperbole is:

    . Hyperbole makes the point that his chin is the best in boxing, though it probably actually is made of glass.:deal

    There was thread on this not long after the Garcia match, funny **** but I think Khan's chin get's a bit too much flak for what it is like Kirk said, it's average or at least below average.

    I don't think its quite Price bad but its still quite poor.
    He got dropped by light hitters early on as well, some people seem to forget that.

    People said Wlads chin was glass but at least it usually took several bombs for him to go down from big hitters and he always got back up.

    I'd say he's a bit delusional, considering 2 of his 3 losses are by KO and TKO. Good fighter, but the worst thing he can do is not fix his defensive liabities, or worse yet not even acknowledge them. Unfortunately he can't fix his chin.

    Prescott had no leverage on the hook that first hurt Khan, it was a total arm punch, his body wasn't into it at all.

    His quote is hilarious, no way a guy chicken dancing from that is taking Pacquiao's shots without moving, and taking bombs from 154 lb guys with no problems like Khan states he is :rofl:rofl

    Total liar lol!

    I dont think he is lying when he says he's taken them shots, Since he moved to 140 his chin hasn't looked that bad, he has taken some huge shots, sparring you wear those bigger gloves and head guard as well

    lets be honest here, any other fighter who would have got hit with that left hook would have gone down and wouldnt have got as much criticism as khan, bradley went down from a similar punch from holt and he has a great chin, I personally dont think khan's chin is that bad, i think its average, he just gets hit with flush punches alot. He is a brawler and to be a good brawler you need a good chin, which khan doesnt have.
