    i like khan, but when he says these things, he annoys the F out of me


    he has had, what 3 fights at JrWW? and those 3 guys havn't exactly had lots of KO power
     
  4. His ability to escape the fearsome Paulie Malignaggi unscathed is a testament to his impenetrable chin.

    He's being truthful. What annoys you out of that? :patsch
    Is he meant to say he gets hurt and dropped at 140 instead?

    People kept saying that he's been dropped in sparring etc etc and he set the record straight.

    I remember him bragging about being at 2% bodyfat or w/e before one of his fights at 135 :lol:

    It makes sense(if true). Weight draining can certainly affect your chin.

    But basically this, until we see him versus a real power hitter.

    I'd say Alexander is that person. I reckon Khan would beat Maidana and Bradley.

    When you face big time punchers like Malignaggi, Kotelnik, and Salita you can brag about not getting dropped or wobbled all you want. He's proven his punch resistance against those murderous punchers. Just ignore the fact that those guys have KO'd well under 50% of their opponents and you can't deny his improved punch resistance.

    dougie fischer claims he being dropped a few time in sparring at the wildcard i doubt he was at 135 then.his chin will be better at 140 not world class

    And to the question, yes it has. Why was Khan dropped by Limond and other non-punchers, yet he wasn't dropped by Kotelnik who hit Khan flush more than enough on the chin?

    The training and conditioning has definetly come into effect. I think he suffers more with the shots to the temple.

    what annoys me? handpicking feather fisted fighters and then going on about how you were only dropped at lower weights due to weight-drain.

    I think his move up will benefit his chin as he was drained at 135. But we dont no how much it has helped until he gets in there with some1 with a bit of pop.
