    Of course.
    Weight cutting and weight draining negatively affect the punch resistance of any boxer.

    Some casual fans said Devon would KO Khan but anyone who knows boxing knew he was handpicked and would lose on points.

    Don't tar everyone with the same brush, everyone dislikes Khan, from boxing experts right down to the clueless.

    Let's be honest Khan has jumped into most of his punches in the past so he needs to work on his footwork and timing (which he has)

    He will still get dropped if the same punches land though... Likes most.. I suspect

    You dont improve a chin. People need to understand it.
    If garcia was to land the same punch, he would go down.
    People need to accept that he will always have a average chin.

    Its his head movement that will determine whether he will be caught with the same shots as before

    Nope, still glass. Always will be too.

    Sorry fanboys, but you can't improve a glass chin. Best thing you can do is to develop techniques to compensate for it like Lewis and Wlad Klitschko did.

    No. He needs to fight a puncher so we can see if his supposed improvements can prevent a puncher from landing because if it does khan gets hurt .

    Khan looked stunned when tapped with feather fisted shots, a great fighter will need to be able to take huge shots and come back, this is why Khan will never be a great fighter.
