Amir Khan's chin is criminally underrated. It's actually pretty good

    Don't think anyone can say its decent, but by the same margin its not terrible.

    However you put it, its the chiink in his armour.

    Stopped reading there. The classic excuse when fan boys tries to argue that their favorite fighters aren't glass jawed.

    Its not that he was ko'd by big hitters that shows his chin prob, it 's the fact very light punchers have rocked or dropped him many times. Limond is a prime example.

    One could even say Khan has one of the best chins at 140.

    Those shots that knocked him out would have knocked anyone out

    Khan's chin is a thing of wonder.

    Not because of how bad it is but because of how inconsistently bad it is. I think the key to unlock it has been found though. A solid fast left hook will remove his legs.

    I'm far from a chin checker but c'mon anyone who gets decked by Willie Limond doesn't have a solid set of whiskers...

    Mighty fine trolling!

    Khans chin is made from the finest quail egg shell known to man.

    His chin is ****, got dropped so many times, Limond, Gomez, Prescott, Garcia, Diaz, Maidana had him in trouble, only a fighter with a poor chin get/s dropped by journeyman Diaz or Limond, he has one of the worst chins in boxing

    I didn't reallise having a good vocabulary constitutes to having a good chin, maybe he should practice saying longer words like Eubank does to strengthen those jawline muscles?;)

    They didn't knock Matthysse so they'd hardly knock anyone out ffs.

    Khans chin is ****.

    Great idea :good

    But the point i was making, is that Khan isn't inteligent enough to make adjustments. Elite level fighters can adjust during the fight if plan 'A' isn't working, but Khan is pretty one dimensional. Reasonable boxing skills, great handspeed and decent pop, but no boxing brain.

    If khans tucked his chin in and took less chances he would probably be undefeated at this point

    Say chin aside, no one can leave their chin exposed and expect to last

    Floyds chin is just as glass as khans but he hides it well

    Judah dropped him with a jab
