    following the rnd 1 KO defeat amir khan suffered to Prescott everyone accused him of having a glass jaw

    leading into the maidana fight people predicting 1 or 2 big bombs from maidana and it would be all over for khan but that night he pulled through (and took massive shots doing it)

    the question is do you think khan has a glass jaw still

    i dont believe he has a glass jaw. He got cracked plenty of times by Maidana, enough to sell me.

    I would class it as toughened glass at the moment

    I would like to see how your legs hold out moving around the ring for 12 rounds.. Fact is since Khan has moved up in weight he is much stronger than the Prescot fight.

    He has proven he can take a shot. But I still feel he is there to be koed.

    He has far from a sturdy or reliable chin at this point for me. Although improvements are being made, and that is mainly down to the fact that his body is not out of proportion anymore.

    I would think this is no longer an issue.

    He was supposed to get KOd with the first punch from Maidana.
    In my mind Maidana was gonna get TKO´d early unless he lands a hard punch. Both fighters impressed me.

    I think he's still got a weak jaw but his means of defending/hiding it have greatly improved which is all you can ask for.
