Does Khan have a China chin or did he just get hit by a really clean shot?.....

    Man, we all knew his chin was shaky.. there was no question, but his punch resisitiance is all-time bad. Horrible, terrible, glass, paper, whatever you want to call it.. but just plain bad.

    It's such a shame though, he has some great skills... how come it seems that a lot of guys with great offense have no chins, and some of the greatest chins aren't great offensive fighters.

    Khan is just not tough enough. I knew he wouldn't go a long way b'cause he was in trouble too many times by now and he really didn't fight all that much, maybe a Graham Earl in super-fast finishing mode, a Michael Gomez and a Gary St. Clair. Amir has tremendous boxing skills and punch power but I wouldn't say just a poor chin - he would really need to take shots, get roughed up and rough'em up, take a big shot and swallow it, clinch and get himself outa trouble, get mean as the going got tough... He ain't tough enough.

    Surley you mean china temple or china head? His punch resistance is bollocks and his confidence must also be shattered but there is a way back for him but its a long long road. Im not particularly keen on the lad but win or now even lose he sure is fun to watch!
