    Both have the worse chin's this side of Broner.

    Hpwever speaking of which, Khan was absolutely smashed in the back of the head against Maidana on the break and fought on, when the easiest thing to do will have been to pull a ***** move like Broner when he was 'fouled' so I'm going with Amir.

    Both warriors, especially for guys with such fragile chins.
    Always try and get up, never quit and fight anyone. Respect to both

    Couldn't agree more. Both have shakey chins but massive heart

    In the ring, equal.

    Out of the ring, everybody but Khan's mama knows the answer to that.

    I agree. Im a brit. When Khan was an up and comer I liked him a lot, but since his infamous recognition he has got on the nerves of many people. We like people who are humble and true to themselves. I dont like seeing Khan tweeting pics of his cars and showing off like a Mayweather-esque character just shows his phony persona

    Lets not over flatter these two fighters.

    I'd say the journeyman who fights half a dozen times every single year, traveling abroad, and giving it his all deserves more credit for "heart" than guys with world class skills, world class credentials, but horrible glass jaws who just happen to willingly eat punches... They shouldn't get "bonus points" in measuring heart for fighting aggressively while knowing they have a glass jaw... We can't say Pernell Whitaker or Willie Pep didn't have much heart because they fought so predominantly defensively, that's just not fair at all.

    no one can question the heart of Khan no matter you think about him. his heart in the ring can never be denied.

    Enzo has shown a bit in his time, but not to the level of Amir.

    Those said fighters aka 'journeymen', despite their obvious flaws, show their heart more often than those who aren't in trouble. So yes, we should give them bonus points for showing their heart because if they lack skills then they are relying on their heart to get them through the fight. Fighters like Whitaker or Pep rely on their respective abilities to avoid being put into those situations where they can demonstrate their heart. Therefore, bonus points are awarded to those who use attributes to win them a fight. You don't say that Mayweather has the same chin as Rios do you? Because Rios' chin gets tested, whereas Mayweathers doesn't. You dont refute Mayweathers chin, instead you praise his other abilities that avoid putting him in that position.
