Khan - Taking his own medicine

If his chin was good, he could easily win world titles.
I just think that when he steps up he'll get stopped by a World class operator with a half decent punch.

 

A LOT further than he is going to go....

 

For me though its his defence that's the major problem. A lot of fighters with weak chins go far because of very good defence.

Lennox Lewis
Roy Jones Junior
David Haye (more so because of his power)

 

Not many.......any?

 

LL didn't have a weak chin, Jones maybe and time will tell about Haye.

 

Your only error is to mistake blindingly fast handspeed for a good defence.

Khan & haye dont rely on defensive skills to win them fights, they rely on their freakish handspeed.

& its strange to see two fighters from south of the border having the same great leveller like Haye & Khan, very strange in fact.

 

Lennox Lewis didn't have a weak chin. Watch the Mercer fight.

 

Exactly. A weak chin at heavyweight will seriously hold you back, look at Audley. As for khan taking his own medicine, he has trouble with half arsed single shots. He has not even been in with an opponent capaple of landing a combination of punches.

 

I dont think Khan has a weak chin either. and his punch resistence should improve over time. That shot from gomez would have KO'd him 5 fights ago.

its not his chin, its his defence, he s open to big left and right hooks. even if a feather fisted fighter hits you in the right spot you will go down.

 

I think Khan has an average chin, but his defence is shocking. If someone like Manny Pacquiao lands one of those big ones on him it would be all over.

If he had a good chin and better defence he could go a long way. Defence can be improved, but chins can't.

Lennox Lewis had a good chin, no more and no less - but used his defensive skills to beat one punch KO artists. Khan wouldn't be able to do that.
