    Khan has a bad chin, But then again its not Enzo Maccarinelli bad either.

    One thing for sure he is no Marvin Hagler.

    Enzo's chin isn't that bad. It's called being shot. He fights like it's 2006, but in a body that can longer operate at the same level as then and in the process leaves himself open to taking huge shots

    Enzo has a terrible chin, Worse than Khan, He has been knocked out 5 times each time he gets knocked out worse. Also he got KO'd in his 3rd professional fight against Lee Swaby a complete journeyman.

    So he was shot since the day he turned professional? No, He has a terrible chin part of it his own fault because he leaves himself wide open.

    Well I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as from what I gathered previously your relatively new to the sport. What Enzo has been doing since the Haye fight is an ever repeating cycle that happens in boxing whereby someone doesn't know when it's time to call it a day. Other than Swaby , all the rest have occurred in his meltdown phase during which everyone with sense has been telling him to retire. It's the phase in peoples careers that you ignore mostly due to pity.

    Like I said, his chin isn't particular a problem, he's taking shots that would drop anyone, just because he's gone and leaving himself wide open constantly.

    Taking a jab at 22 years old and shaking your knee's like Elvis is a chin problem!

    Both have bad chins, Enzo is particularly bad.

    Like I said Khan is no Marvin Hagler and that Prescott jab also floored Miguel Vasquez the IBF champion.

    Someone posted a facebook comment of an Irish lad Khan was sparring with (for the Kotelnik fight I think.)

    He said he had Khan stunned numerous times.

    Yeah it wasnt Jamie kavanagh someone else. Shane the one-eyed cleaner at the wildcard confirmed the story.

    There's a very big difference between being stood on stance taking a jab, and stepping into an incoming punch.

    When you speak with boxers he's sparred with and the subject of Khan's chin comes up, they often just give that diplomatic answer as to not create waves, but with a smile that says "You lot already know the answer to that one"

    All that crap people spout about him being afraid to face punchers is total nonsense though, he genuinely doesn't believe he has a problem.

    Before I wrote my response about him being wobbled by a jab I said to myself "If Lexar responds to that then its definately Lazarus" :)

    There is actually a way Khan can win the Maidana fight and silence the critics.. it would be by warring with Maidana, taking some shots without going down and then TKO/KO'in him. I somehow don't think Roach will be allowing that however, It's going to be catch me if you can

    What makes the fight 50/50 for me is that wheras I have total confidence in Freddie to create a plan to defeat Maidana, I don't have confidence in Khan's ability to stick to it for 12 rounds, especially under pressure.
