    I think his conditioning work and he did with Tabres as opposed to Ariza was all wrong. Garcia's father did say that his son threw a lucky punch on the neck. Serves Khan right for jumping in all the time.

    Bit of both imo.

    Kell Brook and Khan going at it on Ringside just now. Brook said something about his chin and how Khan can't help himself from getting into a scrap, so he gets knocked out. Two of the worst trash talkers ever. :D

    Pointy chins are usually made out of glass while Square block shape jaws are made out of granite

    Both

    Against Maidana, he protected his whiskers sufficiently to avoid being starched and hung on for a decision. However he has been dropped and flattened so many times, he clearly has a weak chin no matter what he says.

    Definitely both. He engages his opponents and leaves a lot of openings to get hit. That makes his fights very exciting.

    However, his punch resistance is definitely below world class grade. So, when he does get hit, he doesn't take it as well as most elite fighters.

    His best course of action would be to pull a Wlad and refuse to engage. However, he fights in a limited weight class, so he can't just out size guys and stay outside. His exciting style will be his downfall but will provide several memorable bouts; he's an anti-Wlad in that sense.

    The problem Khan has also is that he doesn't really move his head, he doesn't slip punches, or can't roll with punches so he takes them full force. Along with this, you can use Khan's momentum against him.

    In Khan's case, it's both.

    When did Morales get Ko'd by Garcia? And no that punch by Garcia wouldn't have Ko'd anyone. Bull****.

    It's hilarious that he's comparing a welllllll past his prime undersized fat out of shape unmotivated Morales in the 11th round of a tough fight to prime big 140lber Khan getting sparked in the 3th.

    His chin isn't as bad as people made it out to be but at most avg but he is trained by no defense roach so of course he is going to be tagged.
