    Is this something viable?

    We all know Amir Khan will never get a great defense, or a high boxing IQ to save himself from taking punches, so how will he cope with getting punched?
    Gaining weight and "getting stwonguh" isn't going to help as he's going to find himself in with bigger and better punchers, and with his chicken legs and horrendous jaw, it's not going to be good.


    So my question is whether or not he should grow a Kimbo Slice type beard, to cushion the impact from all the punches he is about to receive?

    A beard would make no difference at all. He got knocked out with a neck punch ffs.

    It was, in eviltaker and Darni's own words, an illegal neck punch, that would've flattened anyone.
