    LMFAO.

    Khan's chin is DISMAL. It was known WAY before the prescott fight.

    Really? How? I'm sure you know more than I would. I'm just asking b/c I didn't see him KO'd before....nor did I hear any rumblings of his "weak beard" in the AM's.

    He got knocked down several times in the pros by non-punchers, some of which were fighting above their usual weight. He also did the chicken dance in the amateurs against a non-puncher. There was a big question mark on Amir's chin pre-Prescott. The question was answered emphatically in that fight. I'm not a Khan hater or chin fetishist either btw.

    Dude, he was put down hard by Limond who has about 4 KOs from over 20 fights. He has the same level as of power as Malignaggi.

    LMFAO. Weak chin in the amatuers? See no further:

    Well.....then maybe Khan's Chin is what it is and there is nothing he can do about it. If that is true....he'll have to implement some very solid defense with a very complete array of intelligent boxing offense. Roach can help with that but your chin is what it is. You get touched and you're done.

    DAMN!!!:rofl I feel for Amir. I hope he succeeds on some level but its hard to be a multi division champ without being durable. Even if you are supremely talented and skilled.

    Seriously how can you have over 4000 posts on a boxing forum and not know Khan's chin is complete glass?

    Look, im an amir supporter but he does have dodgy whiskers to say the least. Its not so much the number of times hes been put down but how he goes down, its always from a cuffing shot of some sort (except prescott). But i will say this again, his physical limitation does not prevent him from becoming a very good fighter with several ko losses.

    lol! Honestly I never paid Amir no mind nor did I really hear of him until the olympics. But I never followed Amir or his career but what I saw in clips and highlight reels I was impressed. He has speed, good offense and moves well in the ring. With or without the chin Amir is definitley talented. Unfortunatley this is boxing and if you can't take a punch the likelihood of making it to the upper echolon of the sport is slim. Thanks for posting the vid though. :good

    could possibly happen, i wouldnt personally bet on it though. Its certainly not fact though, as it hasn't happened yet so by definition it cant be fact. I think people have pointed that out earlier though......By the way, the comparison with Hearns is a non starter. Firstly hearns was fighting at a heavier weight, therefore heavier hitters. And also Hearns was never knocked down by mediocre fighters or journeymen early in his career like Khan was. Hearns was generally sparked bt ATG's......There is a difference

    Its a bit early to be predicting multiple world titles for Khan. Way too much pressure being put on him too quick IMO. He should never be the main event in a PPV yet. I'm by no means a Khan hatter I hope he goes on to be a great but not just yet. I would also love to see Kahn V Hatton who wouldnt. This fight would raise the following questions ? Is Hatton finished ? Is Kahn ready for the World stage ?

    Yea....but too many KO losses will end up corrupting a young man's confidence especially if he knows his chin is non like potato chips. He's got A LOT of work cut out for him if he can't get the kind of "D" a James Toney or Floyd Mayweather is known for.

    He is very good on a lot of levels, but his beard is terrible. Unfortunately, no matter how exceptional a fighter you are, you are going to get hit and alas Khan just can't take it.
