    No, he is just picking non punchers.

    This.

    Let's face it, would anyone say the Khan of 2011 wouldn't have done the same to Alexander the other night?

    The "improvements" are all smoke and mirrors until actually proven against someone who isn't feather-fisted and handpicked.

    Hard to tell based on the Alexander fight. Didn't seem trouble by any of the few punches that landed flush but then Devon has never been noted for been a big puncher.

    Btw, just saw another post fight interview with Amir and first thing I notices was how marked up and bruised his face was. What's with that? It didn't seem like Alexander hardly hit with anything all night to have caused all that. Maybe his cornermen were punching him between rounds?

    Khan's chin is definitely more sturdy. That is an undeniable fact.

    But only against feather fisted fighters. (Also an undeniable fact).

    Nope not yet, if he beats a Thurman, Maidana, Brook without getting hurt then yeah but so far he has faced 2 non big punchers at 147.

    Let him fight Thurman. Khan has had a carefully crafted career. They steered him clear of punchers from the start. Look at the KO rates of his first 18 opponents before the Prescott (who was exposed as not being a puncher either) fight. It makes Deontay Wilder's opponents look like George Foreman :lol::lol::rofl:rofl

    He survives 12 rounds against a weak puncher and all of a sudden he has the greatest chin ever.

    Thurman would completely shatter khans chin, as would pacman, as would brook.

    stfu qu33r, devon has already got his ass kicked by porter, and bradley. once he meets someone who's not featherfisted he'll go down.

    he still shaky.... in round 8 he was dazed for quite a while walking into punches from alexander. if he did that against any puncher who smelt blood and can bang, it's game over.

    Well according to so called chin experts on here, even the lightest punching fighters could KO khan. So why on earth didn't Collazo who sparked Ortiz with one shot or Alexander who brutally KO'd urango with an uppercut knockout khan when they landed? Its simple, he aint killing himself making the weight, and it shows, he is stronger and sturdier.
