Khan's chin is remarkable

In most cases - you are right. But there have been fighters who died knockouts, even from one punch. Sugar Ray Robinson once killed someone with one punch. I'll give you another example: If Roy Jones stayed at heavyweight and got hit by a Sam Peter with the same shot Glen Johnson hit him and had him flat on the back for 10 minutes, he probably would have died.

When someone's chin is as bas as Khan's is, he is risking his life. Suppose Pacman hits Khan clean on the chin, Khan is out on his feet but doesn't go down, and Pacman gets to swing twice more on his chin. I'm sure that a Pacman kind of fighter can kill him, or **** up his brain badly, under certain circumstances.

1. The Doyle-Robinson fight is debatable, as it was late in the fight and there is no real way of knowing, as there is no tape as far as I know. Also, according to wikipedia, Doyle had been taken to the hospital for head injuries prior to the Robinson fight, which makes me suspect that there could have been a congenital problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Doyle_(boxer)

2. That's a hypothetical, not an example. Could a Peter punch hurt Roy? Sure. But it never happened so it's impossible to say.
