not as bad as people claim.. just one of the worse ones in a fighter who made it to top level.. plus he had poor defence on top of it.
Khan got knocked down in the amateurs, with heavy gloves and headgear, which is a MAJOR red flag for a fighter's chin. This content is protected
If you caught it right, it couldn't take it. He didn't do bad at all tho, to say he had such a bad chin.
"Khan can beat anyone if he fights a disciplined fight!". Khan's whole problem is that he CAN'T fight a disciplined fight. That's not going to change, no matter who trains him.
Well obviously it wasn’t the best. He was prepared to fight most though. He certainly didn’t have a glass heart.
He never hid from punchers though. Went up against Maidana, Danny Garcia & Canelo. Unlike Conor Benn who is being protected from punchers after he went down early in his career against that French guy Peynaud.
His chin was poor. Prescott stopped literally nobody after stopping Khan in 30 seconds. Khan was also dropped against undersized SFW like Gomez. People in here defending his chin are flat out wrong, in my opinion. It was as bad as advertised.
Agree he can't fight a disciplined fight to save his life, even against lower comp, do you remember the time he faced Samuel Vargas? & NO he can't beat anyone even if he is disciplined either.
Maidana wasn't thought to be that kind of puncher along with Danny at that time atleast not on that scale, Only took on Canelo too further his ducking quest of Brook while making a substantial amount due to never getting the Pac or Floyd fight even with all his begging & also by having a built in excuse ready when he loses by saying that he fought a much bigger guy in Canelo, Conor Benn is actually asking for the fights, he's not the one avoiding or rejecting any offers it's quiet the opposite.
It's not just Khan's chin and defense that cause him to get knocked out; it's also his footwork. His footwork is TERRIBLE. He can't get out of the way of punches, and he's constantly off balance.
Saying Khan had no heart is like me saying you have no bollocks, like literally, other than the complete and utter bollocks you spout. Given how weak Khan's chin was, he got in the ring with a huge puncher in Maidana, kept trying against Garcia after getting cracked flush several times and never went down against Brook who has always had a decent dig. Even after getting knocked through a dimensional rift by Prescott, the guy was still willing to give it a go, it's just that everything from the neck down was effed. Khan was never lacking in the heart department.
Khan got knocked out by Prescott and Garcia, who are often called hard punchers. Except neither of them knocked out anyone of note after knocking out Khan.
