    Khan has huge balls and no chin -- a bad combination...

    He's gonna get schooled and then KOd. Khan can't take a punch. Hell, he gets rocked by jabs!!!:patsch

    once khan sorts out his defence with roach i see him beating barrera u lot r looking at everything narrowly and dismissing khans glaring talent in fact ignoring it

    His glaring talent is only matched by his glaring flaw -- punch resistance.

    I definitely think Khan is talented. In fact, I think he's easily one of the fastest fighters in the current boxing world. Maybe top five. Hell, he would be seen as fast in any era. Blinding speed. He also has a LOT of heart/guts, and when he's been floored he always comes back with guns blazing. Even against Prescott, who hit him with utterly sickening, sickening punches, he still tried to get to his feet and fight on.

    The problem is that chin. Well, problem is an understatement...it's something that ruins his chances against top opposition. Maybe if he was a strictly defensive counter-puncher he could survive with it, but he's not, he's an aggressive boxer-puncher. He has the kind of style that requires a good chin to dominate the top tier.

    look how far corrales went i still feel that khan should move up a weight as it could sort out his chin just like it did for cotto

    Great way to get horizontal Khan flat on his arse again.Barrera might be showing signs of decline now but he`ll still have too much for Amir.

    MAB is one of the most determined fighters I've ever seen. He makes great gameplans and sticks to them very well. In this fight, the gameplan seems to be pretty simple and straightforward.

    Can't beat 'm with just speed, methinks.

    khan sure has balls. unfortunately no chin to back it up. just one clear flush from MAB. freddie and frank will be picking up shattered glass from the canvass.
