    No wonder people complain about the low standards of these forums. When you've got racist douches running around here there's no way you can have a proper discussion.

    Khan does have a weak chin. But it's not as weak as people make it out to be. Definitely on the lower end though.

    It's funny though, the harder I work in the gym, the 'luckier' I seem to get landing shots that hurt or drop people when I'm sparring. Weird that isn't it? Luck has nothing to do with it. These are professional, elite athletes competing at a high level. Garcia had been trying to land that looping hook all night. When he connected, Khan was gone. I've tried to hit people with my left hook to the liver multiple times and not quite landed right, or touched the elbow, or deflected it off the forearm or hip, and then suddenly I might throw a feint in and BANG it connects perfectly and they go down in agony. Is that lucky too?

    People don't realize that is normal to not look at your opponent at the moment that you connect a hook. If you put your full body in it is the natural way of things if not you are going to brake your neck :)

    If you're not looking where you throw then yes, it was luck, especially since he was missing quite badly before then. It is also lucky because Garcia was getting overwhelmed, Khan had boxed well but got sloppy for a moment.

    So one punch KOs are luck-based now?, it has nothing to do with Khan being wide open and welcoming exchanges as he clearly was? :nut Did you know that Garcia predicted/picked a 3rd round KO?

    Sorry son. I'm a khan fan and that wasn't a lucky shot. He was looking for it. Khan should've been expecting it to. Fact of the matter is in any given fight you have to he able to take your opponents best shot and Amir doesn't appear to have the physiology to he able to which is sad because he is an exciting boxer

    :deal This coming from a huge supporter of Khan.

    Lazarus is a great example of how to support your fighter intelligently and honestly.

    Iron chin needs to take a lesson from this Lazarus dude. Lazarus was one of Khans biggest hypers on this forum and his favorite lost but he didn't act like a ***** and lose the ability to be rational.

    Props to you Lazarus, I thought you'd be excuse making and calling it fluke etc.... good to see that some Khan fans can be sensible about his flaws and the fact that Garcia was the better man.
