    Khan thought after the Maidana fight he was a granite chinned warrior.

    He got heart to keep that glass chin up to be shattered into smaller pieces.

    Sometimes people who get labeled as weak chinned are just guys with average chins, who wind up getting hit with bombs a lot (defense issues) and are understandably leveled from it.

    He by no means had an iron chin, but I don't think it was as weak as he gets labeled as. Just gets hit by bombs.

    Not many people take the Prescott and Garcia shots flush where he did and don't go down, if they do, they have iron jaws, but its understandable when a power puncher puts you down with a power punch.

    idk, just imo

    Dude against Prescott, the punch that originally hurt him and made him do the chicken dance was a VERY light punch lol! Prescott was even shocked, you can tell lol

    Go to 52 seconds, it was an arm punch with little power that made him do the chicken dance.

    Ill have to rewatch it, wasn't it a hook? been a looong time since I seen it, ill go rewatch. :good

    Khan took bombs against Maidana and Peterson, if he had as bad a chin as people like to say, he would have been stopped those fights. Regardless of the reasons one thinks on why he made it the distance (ref, backpeddling, ect)
