    Agreed, it end in shards on the canvas.

    EDIT:BTW I'm not having a go at the kid, he fights his heart out even when hurt, he should glue his balls to his chin.

    Khan's going to get starched no matter the weight.

    I think he's banking on the idea that his chin improved following the jump to 140, so it'll improve if he jumps to 147. The problem is, 135 was an unnatural weight for Khan and he was draining himself to make it. That isn't the case at 140, which he finds comfortable. His chin won't improve if he moves up but the power of his opposition will.

    If we follow what he believes, he'll be a George Chuvalo at heavyweight. :lol:

    He's done at any weight if he faces punchers. IF he's carefully matched against a slew of dudes that can't punch he's gold.

    Khan has heart and I don't think his chin is beyond saving. He needs to learn what to do if he's hurt, continuing to slug is all he knows. If the guy would learn to hold, stall to save himself I believe he can move up to 147.

    At 147lbs, he'll be doing Elvis dance moves much more often.

    Khan will never be able to take huge hits, however he might have outgrown 140 and starting to struggle to get down to it, it happens to other fighters.

    I don't think he has a bad chin. There's plenty of trainers that have come out and said this too. in the last fight he did not go down from a shot to the chin. anyway why do people dislike him so much?
