    I`d rate Khan`s chin about 4/10 comparatively but people are saying Katie Taylor can knock him out but she`s tiny and it would mean she hits a lot harder than Maidana!

    Khan has been taken to hospital by air ambulance from the jungle set of "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here". He was brutally knocked out by a fern branch after being struck in the jaw/neck area. He accidentally ran into the fern branch whilst performing a special task. Apparently he is in a stable condition in hospital.

    His bigger problems is his ring IQ. Most of these guys that knocked him out don't get the same opportunity against other decent opponents. They can land but not with full flush shots. They get the opportunity against khan tho. Look at most of the punches that' troubled khan...they,d probably have troubled a lot of other fighters out there.

    He doesn' have the IQ to stay out the way. To realize when their setting him up either. Which leads to him not having time to react to it. The reason why he's been put over by guys that are,nt massive punchers. Thats his biggest problem more so than the chin.

    His skills are basic. He's very predictable with what he's going to do but he gets away with it thanks to his speed. When he slows down, he becomes an easy target.

    His chin is bad but his defence is worse. He ALWAYS makes basic mistakes that decent fighters will exploit. The Canelo fight was dangerously stupid - Khan was always going to make a mistake, leave himself wide open that Canelo could exploit - very fortunate he wasn't seriously hurt.

    He was fast on offense and a clincher on defense. Clinching is his defense because he has no defense.

    Yes, it's awful. I'm not even sure why this is being questioned.

    He somehow managed to survive Maidana, despite stumbling around for most of the fight like a drunken idiot. But Maidana wasn't even able to KO Glass Jawed Ortiz either so tbh that says more about his "power" than their chins.

    Khan has proven beyond doubt he has one of the worst chins of any "rated" fighter in history. The guy flat out LOST to the completely featerfisted Willie Limmond and recieved an extra long count from the ref. He was knocked down by Drilzane (4% KO ratio), British level fighters like Gomez, and journeymen like Prescott. He was also down and heavily buzzed by Diaz, let's not talk about Garcia and Canelo that's obvious.

    12 knockdowns in just over 30 fights? I mean come on....

    I think his chin is below-average, but his recovery ability is TERRIBLE. I mean, Marquez didn't have a particularly good chin (he was knocked down a lot), but he was rarely seriously hurt. Khan on the other hand, once he gets hurt, he stays hurt.
