    I wasn't sure what the new opinion would be after the Limond fight. I mean, he took a relatively hard shot to the temple, and he got straight back up, but the fact is, he did go down. You have to give him credit for the recovery though, he came back off the canvas to beat Limond 2 rounds later. All in all, would you say that the fight proved that his chin is poor, or would you say it proved that it's stronger than most expected? He did get back up and win, after all.

    no, I've been saying since just before he turned pro that his chin is china and last weekend backed that up.

    Well, I think the suspicions about his chin might just have been confirmed, unfortunately. however, I always thought he lacked a bit of power, but it seems that he has a very good punch.

    Don't count the lad out yet. I have major doubts, but I'm willing him to succeed because he does so much good for race relations - despite Hamed's fall from grace, he did a lot in that area as well.

    Why would you say that last weekend proved he has a china chin? He got straight back up and beat the guy within 2 rounds. I'm not arguing, I'd just like people to justify their opinions.

    Before Limond:

    chin was ok but untested
    great skills and speed
    no dig
    questionable heart


    After Limond:

    chin tested and fragile
    good skills and great speed
    plenty of punch power
    loads of heart

    khan got knocked down and HURT. it wasn't like he just sprang back to his feet to get back into the fight. it took him about 13 seconds to get up and then another 40 seconds to hang on before regainig a bit of composure.

    I thought it was weak before the fight but i believed he would be able to get by anyway. Now believe he's on a one way train to self destruction with his "look at that punch i threw i'll wait around and watch it and im that good i dont need a defence" attitude.

    Khan = Bad ko soon.

    Before the fight everyone knows my stance was:

    Khan's chin is Grade A China

    After:

    Khan's chin is confirmed to be Grade A China.
