    Khan once again shows us his complete lack of boxing intelligence. The only good decision he has made in his career his hiring Roach as his trainer.

    The fact he thinks he can take shots in sparring with larger gloves and headgear and therefore have a good chin is idiotic. Seeing him talk about taking a good shot then firing back is exactly what will get him KO'ed again.

    For some reason he lets his pride and ego rule his mind making him overly aggressive in the ring when he should fight from range and counter. Even if Judah doesn't KO him, someone will at some point as long as he has this kind of mentality. He's another KO just waiting to happen.

    Kendall Holt is the hardest puncher at 140. I doubt Khan could take many shots from him. :deal

    I wouldn't say best but he has a solid chin. He took punches from maidana and didn't go down. The prescott knockout has been overblown.

    He got dropped in the amateurs. Feather Fisted Limond dropped him. Prescott sparked him out in under twenty seconds. That all smacks of china chin.

    And Maidana's power is way, WAY overblown. As I stated earlier, he wings wild arm punches that look devastating but aren't as hard as a crisp straight right delivered accurately AND when he was hitting Khan with those shots he was huffing and puffing like a Biggest Loser contestant on a treadmill. That did nothing to prove to me that his Chin is any better and only convinced me that EVERY time something lands flush on his chin, he's going to be hurt.

    It's a good thing that he's fighting an aging counterpuncher who he should be able to swamp with pitty-pat punches and ride his bike around the ring against because anybody that can cut him off and force him to fight is going to shatter that glass violently.

    Its not the prescott loss that highlights his chin - it was being dropped by an over the hill featherweight Michael Gomez and dropped by feather fisted Willie Limond .

    Heres a young Khan trying to work out the moves to Zabs patented chicken step off

    I think he's been misquoted there, and actually said "I have some of the best china in boxing".

    He also said he was Britain's #1 fighter and he deserves to be a PPV fighter.
    He also said he believed Mayweather was afraid to fight him.The list goes on and on.
    But let's remember this is boxing and bull**** sells.

    Don't you get the feeling when he says it it's not just him spouting bull**** but that he actually believes it?

    I do.

    I tell you what Khan needs (besides a chin transplant) is a ****in PR Manager!!! some of the **** he says is just so ill advised, i don't even think he's a bad guy, he just doesn't seem really good at public speaking.

    You just don't say things like "I deserve to be a PPV fighter!" it's like another way of saying "I deserve your money!"

    Remember when he fought Mccloskey and he said it was a "gift" to his british fans and tried to charge PPV for it?

    Guy is his own worst enemy sometimes.
