Watched some of Amir's older fights, his chin is actually very durable

    MVC is an expert on Ellerbe but not Khan obviously.

    Khan's chin is absolute poo.

    Congrats to him btw on his wedding though

    But seriously Khans chin looked worse than ever against Diaz. If there's any truth in him finding it difficult to rehydrate properly he should move straight up to 147.

    I think Amir Khan is the GSP of boxing as far as chins go.

    Gets rocked by nasty shots

    GSP rocked by Serra/condit (But generally has a good chin)

    While I agree Khans chin is pretty bad, most people slate it asif a 12 year old girl would be able to knock him out, if that was the case he would have alot more than 3 losses on his record.

    Khans chin is what make his fights exciting, we all know he should fight a Wladimir style safety first style of boxing but he's to eager to put on a show and get drawn in which means he could be caught with a big shot and the fights ended, Yeah on here will always hate on his chin but I wouldn't mind having a "glass chin" if I was a millionare and held 2 world titles in my career

    Yea, his chin was good when he was with Ariza, not so much now.

    he took maidana's punches under roach but couldnt take diaz shots last time out, its either a conditioning issue that ariza had sorted or else his new style aint as effective at protecting his chin as freddie roachs style

    you ignored the truth i spilt earlier. you're trying to build khan into something he ain't because it's looking likely he'll fight (and lose to) floyd.

    Amir is a plucky, naturally gifted boxer. He's got heart in abundance, and his refusal to stop firing back when hurt is a ridiculous folly, yet admirable in its own way.

    However, his chin contains more crystal than Liberace's closet. That is an incontrovertible fact.
