    Roach is known for his sweet science, boxing is art, there are always ways to over come things. There must be a reason why Roach's team transfered weight top to bottom on Khan. Khan was saying in a interview before the just before the ***an fight that when he went over to the wild card gym they asked him 'How much body fat do you go in on fight night' Khan told them 3-4%, They said that was too low, and that can even have a effect on chin. They said you should be around 7-8% body fat. Take note Khan's last weigh in even doe he looked slim down top half of his body he had to strip to make the weight meaning they must of put alot of weight on his very skinny legs.

    This time round they perfect the weight balance, improving his head movement in order for him to take shots on the move not flat footed, and improving his game all round.

    I think Marquez will beat Diaz,as for Khan even if he beats an old Barrera by stoppage which i dont think he will no way is he ready for Marquez.

    comparing karate to boxing is laughable mate,when do you see in a karate 'fight'the two blokes or women knocking ten barrels outa each other.

    not a ****ing chance any training will make khans chin granite.

    physics,biology,chemistry,what the fook are you on about,
    i aint no doctor,but i know for a fact that some people can take a shot and some people can't,dont need explaining off a professer.
    ask any boxer,theres glass jaw and granite jaw,end off :hi:

    Khan wasn't born with that chin and that is the end of it. Khan takes a better shot now than he did 5 years ago. Why? Because he has matured physically, his technique is better, his conditioning is better etc etc and thats just for a pure power shot. In the scheme of a boxing match Khan can improve his chin even more by improving his stamina, defence, strategy etc

    Khan at the very least can conquer British, Commonwealth and Euro at some point in his career. He has already proven he is on that level. I don't understand the hate. Fine, argue he might not be elite but beyond that is just stupid.

    a twonk,i like it,please explain your theory,and anyone on here ,how training can improve a glass jaw,you can tell him to hold his hands up,he will win a few like he did with the irish lad,but at some point he will get hit,and drop like a stone.

    i remember nigel benn haveing a weight thingie around his neck,to improve his neck muscles,dident do much for his chin,he got wobbled a lot,usually when he had punchd himself out,and he no where near had as chinnier chin as khan.
    in my opinion from experiance,some have and some aint

    You ****ing tool. Bring me ONE single quote of mine where I said you can make a glass jaw a granite jaw? Bring me one shred of evidence where I said this, please.

    What I have been saying is that you can improve a **** chin. That is all, to suggest otherwise is to defy nature. Improving a glass jaw, does not suddenly mean you become Rocky Balboa with an Iron Jaw.
