    The guy has skills and speed, but his chin is worse than glass.

    Once the punch is landed, he's gone.

    Surely, Kovalev is big hitter but he didn't even land good punch when the 1st KD occured. Hovewer, Sillakh was badly hurt. The second punch from Kovalev knocked him out cold.

    Sillakh dominated Grachev till he got caught and knocked out, and Grachev isn't a big puncher.

    Also one jorneyman landed glancing blow and had him hurt badly.

    In amateurs, he was KO'd cold by Betterbiev in headgear.
    The guy has the talent, but he absolutely has no chin at all.

    He's got a really long, skinny neck. It's a weak foundation for taking punches to the head.

    I think he has the skills but without a chin in this sport you aren't going very far .. A lot of people thought he would give Kovalev a decent fight the other night, we're does he go from here?

    p4p it's khan all day long.

    i don't think that twink could take a jab from a 120lber without getting his funky dancing on.

    No not the worst. Got to take into account the fact kovalev is a massive puncher.

    I want to see Kovalev in with a top fighter that can take a dig. He has been well managed. Time to step up now I feel and prove he can do it against the best.

    based on that knockout i would say sillakh is done as a contender. that first punch had no business dropping him and hurting him as bad as it did. i mean, it hit his glove first which took a lot off the impact and still knocked him down and almost out.

    Sillakh is a good boxer, but as this question goes, it's hard to say. I still honestly believe Canvas Khan has the worst chin in boxing.

    If Sillakh had an iron chin he'd be P4P one of the best in the sport.

    But alas, he doesn't....

    Sillakh has fast hands and power himself, but he turns into bambi on ice when his chin gets tagged.
