    ...and beating FEATHERFISTED Luis Collazo doesn't change that:-(

    Khan's super-shaky mandible is one of the worst I've ever seen at the world class level in 35 years of following boxing. :deal

    Which means he is STILL a KO waiting to happen, fanboys!!:yep

    no ones disputing that khans chin is 1 of his big flaws, but he certainly not the only one. Ortiz was dropped by collazo. quit after but still dropped. collazo himself twice chin checked and body checked against khan.

    don't see u putting them above khan in the glass jaw rankings.

    People can talk about how well Khan does against light-hitters, but when faced with someone who can punch, even a little, his fragile chin will betray him again.

    Mayweather would brutally KO him like he did to Hatton.

    He was shaken up by Prescott when he wanted to take em all outa there as soon as the bell rang, that was excusable, go and put that super-shaky where the sun doesn't shine Zak! Had Terry Norris a super-shaky mandible after being caught by Simon Brown's counter jab or was it the Hawk Julian Jackson that went to dreamland at light middle by Mike McCallum and at middleweight by the G man? Even Kenny Norton went to sleep against Gerry Cooney... Khan was caught just once more by Danny Garcia when he was pressing him up. So what is your point? Mayweather not gonna put him on the deck, that's fo'sure!!!

    Yes Khan still has that weakness, I don't see many people claiming otherwise. Khan also still has his strengths and has had a pretty decent career so far.

    One win over past prime leftover of hatton and paqis talking him up like he has back to back wins over mathysse and garcia. The reality is he's a KO waiting to happen.

    You are forgetting him getting rocked by Maidana and hanging on for the last 3 rounds (barely). You are forgetting him getting dropped by a blown up SFW in Gomez. You are forgetting him getting rocked by Peterson (who is no big puncher). Or Julio Diaz dropping him and stunning him badly. Even Collazo buzzed him.

    His chin is bad but he does have talent. If he avoids getting hit by big punches (or punchers) he does well.

    Where have people claimed otherwise? This is yesterday's news and not thread worthy.

    His chin is shaky and even in the Collazo fight was hurt so the 147 weight transforming his chin idea fell to sh1t. Saying that though, if he keeps improving & fighting disciplined and better defensively, he will continue winning and zakman & Rico Spadafora will continue frothing from their own feeble mandibles
