    Amir Khan, Gatekeeper.

    Now that everyone knows Khan will go once
    tagged on the brittle chin, will he just become
    a "gatekeeper"....kinda like Jerry Quarry was
    for the 70's heavyweights?

    Can beat the B+ fighters, but the
    really good guys beat him (most likely by TKO).

    Either that or he needs to adapt his style to protect his chin. Stay away from guys that are going to have 10 or more lbs on him in the ring.

    He has always been a gatekeeper really who managed to get a good win vs Maidana so fair play.

    Khan simply doesn't have the chin for boxing at world level

    True. Which shows how dumb fighting canelo was. I think his ego is bigger than he is

    He used to own a business that sold security gates some time ago. He made some terrible decisions resulting in the business closing.

    His gates were shit. They were made of glass and were too small for the premises they were meant to guard. Most people would just drive around them.

    He then tried his hand at boxing and brought out an extensive line in glass chins.
