    Just woke up and I'm absolutely out of it.

    There's a few good responses which I would respond to but there's plenty from people who are just ignorant and there wouldn't be much point in trying with them, and seeing as I probably wouldn't be able to get my point through, I'll just wait till he faces another puncher (probably in some of your eyes, Brook) and is able to withstand what he has and then come back to this.

    Darni is obsessed with fighters weights, You could imagine him cornering Julian Jackson..

    Julian: ''Bredrin, I need to have a s*** ya know.''
    Darni: ''Jump on the scales Julian!''

    Darni: ''Right your 166lbs, That's 6lbs over the limit, how big do you think this dump will be Julian?!''

    Julian: ''Probably a big one, I had steak and rice, with coleslaw and some potatoes..''

    Darni: ''Right, Hmm... That could mean you go back down to 162lbs, a 4lb loss, That's to dangerous Julian. We need you punching at 166lbs worth of weight, You gonna have to take the dump after. You won't knock the skin off a rice pudding without those 4lbs. That Steak could well win you this fight!. Don't let it float away just yet bro..''.

    Julian: ''Sorry to late...''.

    Maidana is a naturally big puncher but very raw so he doesn't get the stoppages he should. He has power to hurt anyone but there are fights when he doesn't get going and he looks like he has average power, such as against Morales and Corley. I don't think the fact he didn't stop Khan proves that Khan has a decent chin, I think it exemplifies the problems with Maidana's technique. Raw power is one thing but without boxing ability, its not enough to stop world class opponents, even if they are chinny.

    The 10th round against Khan says less about Khan's chin and more about Maidana's failings as a puncher.

    :lol: what?

    I was using it as an example... 9 times out of 10 if another fighter was in the same position the fight would have been finished.

    I take back some of what Ive said about Khan before, but fighters with bad chins can still win fights. Its not the one and only aspect of boxing.

    All I know is that strong chinned fighters don't need the ref to save them from Willie Limond.

    Laz...

    Erik Morales is a 36 year old featherweight that's had more wars than Khan's had knockouts. You really need a sense of perspective here.

    Khan does not have a glass jaw but he does not have as good chin as you think Laz. I would say his chin is slightly below average.
