Khan's Chin is GLASS - Why is he even being considered for a Mayweather fight?

because Floyd's testicles still haven't dropped

 

Khan is being considered because Mayweather needs a KO and he needs a good exciting fight, Khan will deliver on that. But, having said that Khan is a whiny ***** that feels hes entitled to Mayweather shot knowing he hasnt earned it. Khan has always been a deluded idiot.

 

The post has **** all to do with Khan, you shrunken-headed ****-for-brains.

I was responding to your soulmate, Zak's drivel.

"Once they crack. . . they don't come back."

Louis
Duran
Lewis
Wlad
Holmes

all got 'cracked' and all came back.

Along with a great many others.

The chin-checkers comment was just an affirmation of my contempt for the bottom-feeders who term pro boxers as bums and frauds, and the related species of ****-wits like yourself who judge pugilists solely on their chins' durability, real and imaginary.

 

Because...

Having a glass chin doesn't matter against a light puncher.
Khan's chin has survived against bigger punchers than Floyd.
Khan fight would make Floyd money.
Floyd likes low risk fights.

 

Funny how no one addressed this post. Hard to debate history.

 

Quality of chin is ONE of the CENTRAL attributes in boxing.

Just ONE of the them.

Using either term, bum or fraud, to describe someone who puts in the years of training required to reach the medal podium out of all the boxers on the planet and who subsequently captures world titles in a sport as physically demanding as boxing is very worthy of contempt, especially when the slurs originate from someone who has probably never set foot in a ring, or if they did, failed to amount to anything.

You can use the term overrated with suitable modifiers ( a bit, a lot, wildly, etc) or overhyped.

The terms bum and fraud are not worthy of any serious commentator and are usually indicative of classlessness or at the very least, a lapse of class.

No, Zak, I recognize there are great beards and weaker ones, just like there are power punchers and feather fists. Nowhere have I denied the existence of weak jaws.

The difference between us is that I see punch resistance as ONE of the attributes whereas the chincheckers see it as the only attribute.

When you post drivel such as "Once they crack. . . they don't come back." you lose credibility. I posted a brief list of ATGS who were indeed cracked and did come back. There are literally hundreds of others, but the point's been made.

The other difference between us is that I don't term physically courageous, well-trained athletes as frauds and bums.

 

Khan is not as deserving as Maidana, in terms of recent accomplishments. But, he provides better entertainment value, from the build-up to the fight itself. Not to mention, it is an easy fight to make.

Despite what seems to be a regression of late, he always comes to fight, has great skill, heart, speed, good power. He lacks in the chin department, which to many increases his entertainment value...as a KO is more likely.

 

Who is Con? I thought his name was Khan. Also Pac or china chin Khan don't deserve to fight Mayweather. Not because I am some Mayweather fan ( I hate the ghetto idiot) But neither Khan or Pac have a chance in hell to beat Mayweather. Hopefully Maidana does.

 

this and this!

 

the thing is he would be more competitive than maidana and its not like floyd could ko him. Floyd has pillow fists

 

Because Floyd is good at making people believe the farce he fights good competition. The only good competition he fought was Marquez. Everyone else was - padded record, overhyped, overrated, washed up, past prime, never good in the first place, or some combination of those flaws.

 

:roflatsch

Mayweather has PLENTY enough power to KO Khan. Khan has no Chin. None. And IF they ever fight Khan will get dealt with in the same manner that Victor Ortiz did. Knocked out in brutal and embarrassing fashion in 3 or 4 rounds. Khan struggled with a complete stiff in his last fight. Khan is a Glass Jawed fighter. Always has been always will be.

 

Khan doesn't have anything close to resembling great skills. He has speed, a nice jab, and some range

Let's look at his actual skills:

Footwork, defense, balance, accuracy....all mediocre to average. His ring instincts aren't good, and his combos aren't thrown to create and exploit openings. Largely, they are just sloppy flurries without leverage or accuracy.

He constantly retreats to the ropes and takes a pounding. Not to "prove a point" as some people claim, but because he doesn't have good footwork to avoid going there when pressed

 

Some valid points. However, Khan actually is quite skilled. But, he looks to be in between styles. He lacks an in-ring identity. Under Roach he was trying to be like Manny too much. You can't really teach what Manny does. Under Hunter there is potential to get him back to the fundamentals.
I agree his jab, range and speed are his best weapons. But, he often gives them up in favor of an ambush style that drains his stamina (hence, he retreats to the ropes) and leaves him vulnerable. Again, he is/was trying to copy Manny.

The Khan who fought a very disciplined fight and boxed Paulie's (a very good boxer) ears off is what Hunter needs to get him back to.
