    Is he admitting by himself that he has a glass chin?

    I think he is just stating that he has heart which, "glass chin" or not, he does. His comeback from a knock down against Limmond and Gomez showed great heart.

    If he gets knocked out cold, which he would do against a few campaigners at Lightweight, then it's not his choice to get back up.

    he's maybe worried about it.

    he's saying he's a fighter - pure and simple.

    anyone who's fought at any level who says different isn't going to last long.

    I think he is just having ago at his critics.

    To be honest the fighters he has fought havent been big punchers or big lightweights (like himself).

    And the way he went down against both Gomez and Limond was as though he had the rug dragged from underneath him!!

    Personally i think he needs to be put in with a banger to see how he'd cope when the heat is turned up against somebody who can turn out his lights, before he gets a title shot.

    Yeah he gets back up against Gomez and Limmond. What happens when he's facing someone that he's not 1/10 favourite to beat. I want to like Khan and see him do well but for now he's only a prospect and should concentarte on perfecting his ability. Stop with his talk of being a world champion by the time he's 21/22. If a shot at a title comes along, fine. Until then he should be looking at why/how fighters like Limmond and Gomez were able to floor him. Imagine what a top 10 fighter would do!!!

    A loss could do the lad wonders.

    I honestly don't mind if his career turns out to be like Gatti's or maybe even on the level of Chico Corrales...These guys are exciting for boxing, I don't get some of the stupid ass fake boxing fans that **** on boxers for having flaws. It takes balls to step between those ropes so stfu!!! P L E A S E.

    but that can be a part of building character.

    cotto was in dire straights against torres - and NOBODY would have complained if it got stopped in the second. and yet, cotto's proved his metal aganst better opponents since.

    by the way, for those who havent seen it, that left hook (from memory) from torres on cotto in the second round sits with me as one of the most crisp punches i've ever seen in recent years.

    that was a fight-stopper and cotto, somehow, survived that.

    Then I want a Euro PBF, Euro Baldomir, or Euro Alfonso Gomez to KO him.

    Exactly. The lad has done very well so far, especially with the hype surrounding him, which is gonna be a burden. He has fought decent competition for his age and number of fights. It's a pity he didn't fight Thaxton earlier and seems to of pulled out of fighting Romanov, but so be it. He'll be found out sooner or later. For his sake I hope it's sooner. I reckon it'd be more damaging for him to be at 32-0 with 5 WBO title defences and then get KO'ed by some top 10 fighter, than for him to be stopped now and learn from it.

    Hope he isn't the same type as Hamed who faded in oblivion after the first lose. Khan showed heart by getting back from knock down, and it would be nice if he have anough heart to get back from his first KO.
