I wish Amir Khan had an iron chin. He would be in some absolutely wars.

    He's fun to watch as it is. Haven't seen a boring fight from him so far.

    He only been KO 2 times..

    Once because he was weight drained and the other a well timed strong left hook to his neck..

    As i have said many times, Khan chin is OK Maidana, PEDerson, Zab proved that..

    He is exciting but that doesnt make him top class. Gatti and Ward were both very exciting but they were far from greats.

    People acting like Khan is 35yrs of age of something, the kid is only 25yrs old, still a young learning fighter in the game.

    Hunter the right guy to tone Khan down and make Khan think in the ring a bit more, Khan will be fine.

    2013 Khan is coming for Garcia, and he going to school him this time...

    Love the enthusiasm, Darni.

    But despite being only 25 years old, he's still been through a lot of wars:

    - Limond
    - Gomez
    - Maidana
    - Peterson
    - Garcia

    And some of those were ridiculously intense for someone who has a poor punch resistence to begin with. Getting involved in 12-round wars against the hardest hitter in the division (one round in which he was taking repeated bombs without answering back), and a demanding affair with a PED user, as well as a 4-round pasting by guy being given the opportunity to stand his ground to throw and land swinging sledgehammers, have possibly taken their toll. Again, I have to remind you of some of those punches he was taking. And that's without mentioning the Prescott encounter.

    It's not unreasonable to think Khan, who's been fighting at a 100mph since he first laced up his professional gloves, could have burned out already. Sounds a bit far-fetched, I know. But it's possible. He's not the most durable of people to begin with, remember.

    Why watch a "war" when you can see a brutal highlight reel type of KO?

    I've grown quite found of his glass jaw.

    Khan has been exposed in the past few fights when he has fought fire with fire, the idea will be from Hunter is to have a more boxer safety first approach, Khan has to slow down and think alot more in the ring, this is very important if he wants to prolong his career.

    Its adjustments in Khan's temperament and approach which will be the key in Khan's comeback.

    how was the maidana fight a war? he got hurt in the 10th and didn't fight back - he just ran around the ring. same against peterson, when he got tagged he started running. he has no inside game and seems unable to control the range against fighters he can not hurt.

    if he had a solid chin everything about him would be different.
