    :bart there was nothing wrong with lennoxs' chin.

    khan is fragile, he also needs to switch trainers, his defense is dreadful. had limond been say graham earl, khan 0 would have gone, by nasty KO

    Lewis had a weak chin if he had a iron jaw he would of been unbeaten

    You guys need to understand something and understand it now.

    Wlad/Lewis/Zab have "shaky" chins, not CHINA chins. Had they a chin like Khan, they'd have been KTFO by every top level fighter they faced.

    The list goes:

    Titanium
    Cast Iron
    Iron
    Good
    Average
    Shaky
    Glass
    Grade A China

    Khan is "Grade A China", Zab is "shaky". Big difference. A shaky chin can work with a proper defence, but not a Grade A China chin.

    I dont remember Wlad or Lewis being knocked down twice by two feather fisted stepping stone fighters in the first 13 fights of their careers:huh

    Good work with the list.

    So for example-

    McCall is a Titanium, Roy Jones/Lewis are Shaky and Khans and Fraudleys are Grade A China.

    lol loads of fighters have been KD'd early in their career and gone on to show they have excellent chins. I thought Limond had alot more pop in his punch than usual as well, Khan needs to seriously keep that left hand higher though if hes going to ever be a world champion.

    Those who don't believe Khans chin is poor if not glass need to be reminded he was almost KO'ed by a guy who has only 8KO's in 30 fights. It's one thing to be almost KO'ed by a puncher but a puncher like Limond who lacks any kind of real power is a sure sign that Khan is going to have to get used to picking himself up off the canvas if he doesn't make some changes in his style when he steps up again in class.

    I still have hopes for Khan but he is going to have to make some drastic changes if he is to achieve his full potential.

    True, but remember.. Judah got knocked down by Spinks who has 11 KOs in 40 fights, and he has competed at the highest level. Infact, with a better mental state of mind he might actually be an ATG. Im not denying the fact that Khan has a suspect chin, but fighters with bad chins have gone onto have successful careers, dont give up all hope on Khan.

    Not many with Khan's lack of head movement have ever achived much without a chin. The warning sign were there in the Drilzane and Komjathi, both actually fought back to an extent and could tag Khan. If fighters like that can land on him, he should retire.

    A fight like that did wonders for the casual fans I'm sure, especially based on the people I have seen. The good news is it will happen plenty more times with Amir!

    Hes still only 20 mate, im sure head movement is something which he will work on for his next fight. The chin is the only issue that cant be solved with a bit of work in the gym, but he can take measures to protect that.
