    Hear me out

    I like khan something about his personality resonates with me

    I love his hand speed it’s phenomenal and his skills have increased over the years but his footwork whilst adequate is lacking it’s not the speed it’s his foot placement

    anyway I feel sorry for the poor bugger but I have to be honest

    I’ve never seen no man fold off a punch like him it’s pitiful

    when he was in the olympics then turned pro I was nostalgic from my childhood day’s watching prince Nadeem and the media gassed me up into believing he was the second coming

    anyway worst chin I’ve ever seen do you chaps agree ?

    Worst? No. I think you need to google a gentleman named Dmitrijs Avsijenkovs. Whether he was an actor, comedian or boxer, is another question for another thread. He has a perfect record.

    Yes the worst chin of any fighter that got to a decent level. He has the worst chin of any fighter that got to European level or above that I can think of . He's had a love affair with the canvas his whole career. Been dropped by many feather fisted fighters. If you made a highlights video showing all the times he's been knocked down imagine how long it would be

    I guess you don't go to many shows. Or in fact know much about Boxing. This thread is going to attract haters like fly paper.

    Cringy to quote myself, but I was referring to Avsijenkovs to specify! Khan was a fine boxer that operated at top level. The thread was definitely started as WUM material and should be closed/deleted. Worst chin even at top level is OTT.

    you’re a liability to this forum and you will offer others nothing if this is the type of subjects you wish to discuss

    If his chin was that bad he wouldn’t have been able to beat world class fighters. He beat Maidana for example.

    I would say his chin is a weakness but I also think his bigger weakness is his poor ring IQ and a tendency to stand too long in the pocket reeling off combinations.

    I do know he has one of the greatest hearts i seen prior to crawford

    The crawford fight was thus khans "no mas"....i think like Thomas Hearns ( a man Barry McGuigan laughably compared him to) khans chin deficiencies are made up by heart.

    Unlike Hearns his big problem is the worst boxing IQ i seen at top level since Razor Ruddock

    Not a great chin by any means but it’s a noob opinion to think that he has the worst chin. His defence is the bigger problem.

    A granite chin with a poor defense is worse in my opinion. Look at the state of some of these fighters who defended bombs with their faces

    Khan had world class boxthing skills and would have been an elite level fighter if born with a Carl Froch chin.

    Not in the slightest
    Suffers from a combo of a bad chin and switching off from a gameplan and getting caught
    Dangerous combo
