    Is it merely below average, or is it P4P one of the worst?

    His chin is made of a smart material that has two states

    Cracks only under certain circumstances.

    Diaz managed to get it
    Peterson couldn't really get it
    Maidana couldn't really get it

    Really his chin doesn't matter it's his disgusting fight mentality which doesn't go hand in hand with a weak chin.

    Round 11, Diaz hurts him - Khan holds his ground does a Manny pacquiao glove clap and starts throwing the weakest punches banging with diaz who landed huge shots.. Would have been embarrassing if he got knocked out doing such a thing.

    Wouldn't say it's one of the worst... He's never been put to sleep and the closest he has got to that was Prescott in 08. But if you land a left hook on it he will be on jelly legs with a scrambled brain for sure.

    This topic is getting old. Look at his fights, you can see he can be wobbled or knocked out by good punchers. It's never gonna change.

    Khan's chin is among the worst for a top level fighter.

    Not that bad. It isn't good enough to duke it out though.

    Khans boxing skills and speed are elite. He will again be world champion. His chin, well...seems an odd one - he's been dropped a few times and KO'd twice now. KO'd against decent hitters mind. But dropped and hurt buy suprisingly light handed fighters like Limmond. Yet look at what he survived in the Maidana fight. If it was pure china Maidana would've got the KO. He took some bombs in that fight and yet pulled it out.

    He says its weight issues (but I don't buy this as he's said in some interviews he makes weight easily..and in a few since now there's talk of big money fights at welterweight that making 140 is hard and drains him...make your mind up Khan!!) I think if he sees a good shot coming he can take it (often) but simply if he doesn't he goes to sleep. A lot of other good fighters are just the same. Simply watch the Maidana fight and know that if it was china he'd have been KO'd several times through that fight. Its probs average not granite but not as much glass as many would like to believe. Maybe clay or something. ;)
