    Is it really as bad as people say? He got hit on the temple against Prescott, Garcia hit him on the neck, and he lost his balance against Diaz. He took some huge shots from Maidana.

    He has an unreliable chin . I would not call it Glass .

    If you have a glass chin , you are not going to last 12 rnds against Chino . Its just not going to happen .

    No doubt, his chin is glass .. yeah, but he is not elite glass like the likes of Szpilka, Broner, RJJ etc.

    Hyped chin.

    You'd think he was the poster boy for the glass chin hearing the constant discussion about his mandible...but there are worse.

    i agree but in that fight i think even if he got shot he wouldn't of gone down the pressure he was on from uk fans was immense he also has not faced enough punchers

    fighters get hit with the shots you described all the time, nobody dwells on those because they dont react like khan has to those shots.

    He had an OK chin. But not one to really rely on. He took big shots from Maidana and was hurt but not enough to take his legs away.

    I however think his chin is pretty fragile now. Peterson and Garcia were though fights in which he took a lot of big shots flush and that KO was brutal.

    Khan's chin is a disgrace. He has no business in professional boxing. He is going to get seriously hurt one of these days and not be able to comeback.

    He and the other glass jaw frauds need not apply to big time fights or guys with good punching power. Sure he can fight plenty of top tier competition, but what good is your legacy if all you are known for is GTFKO everytime you face a puncher. His chin is made of spinach.

    Do you think Khan's chin has improved by moving up to WW?
