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

    Floyd would not of lasted 2 fights without his defence the mayweathers have found out they are packing glass so they made there whole game on defence :blurp

    Floyd has not taken enough flush shots in his career and the ones he has taken he has got hurt by them:!:

    Like what? The shot he took from Mosley? He recovered from it quickly. And the rematch with Maidana. He got rocked at the end of the third round, but he was fully recovered by the next round. His chin might not be granite, but it's not poor. And even if it is, he has great recuperative ability, which is just as good.

    Compare that to Khan's fight against Garcia. He got floored near the end of the third round, and got floored again seconds into the fourth.

    I reckon he is stoppable (mainly from Mosley Rnd 2) but it would take one awesome assault to stop him.

    He was very hurt and responded perfectly to being hurt. Used that defense to recover properly.

    His fist would knock your little tennis ball sized head right off your shoulders.

    He'd likely have a fairly hard time hitting you on the chin given his fist is around the same size as your whole head.

    Khan is a very good boxer but is vulnerable. Big hitters are always going to be a problem for Khan. He will beat some of them but the big hitters that catch Khan well will probably stop him.

    Mayweather took the punch very well. It obviously hurt him but he immediately recovered and demonstrated this with some of the best defences/ reflexes I have ever seen. Watch the punch in slow motion followed by Floyd amazingly avoiding being hit again........... simply great stuff from a great fighter.

    true but it suggests his chin is overrated

    So which is it? Is Khans chin fragile or is it "underrated" and "actually pretty good" :lol:
