Amir Khan's fragile mandible, is this the reason why he will never be elite?

    1. He throws lots of flashy combinations, he has great hand speed. Very exciting style to watch for the casual fanbase.

    2. But on the other hand, he has probably the worst chin out of every world level fighter. You know that in any given fight, he could get sparked out. His chin will always be the one thing that lets him down. Not only this but he fights reckless when he's hurt (very stupid), and continues to throw punches and takes more and more leather as time goes which eventually leads to him getting stopped.

    Quite possibly. He should start taking PEDs though then he'd be like Prime Roy Jones. :good

    It seems to have held a bit better in his last couple of fights but he hasn't exactly been in with 'punchers' really. Shame as he does have an awful lot of talent but that will be his main restriction

    Wilder will have the same problem soon. Glass jaws dont survive very long and the heavyweight division is the most unforgiving division of the lot. I think wilder maybe a victim of one of the most horrendous glass smashings for years.

    Yes

    And that is why boxing needs fighters like khan

    Boxing without flawed fighters is a waste of time and very dull

    Khan's chin is criminally underrated.

    I'm starting to think MVC is one of those owner windup accounts we keep hearing about.
    He always has an opinion wich infuriates some and/or is exactly opposite what the vast majority of boxfans think. If a boxer is spit out by boxfans all over he pops up as a fan.

    I don't believe this guy is for real.
