There are still people that think Khan's chin isn't the problem!

    This is the problem I have with him too, he talks like he's pound for pound and as good as the Pac's and the PBF's. It makes him so hard to like and I've really wanted to at times but just couldn't.

    He took hard shots against Medina, he was trying to ride out being hurt by Garcia, if his chin was glass he wouldn't even have got up at all in that fight. I don't get why people keep saying its glass. Against Canelo I saw him take a couple of fairly hard hooks that would have sent him down if his chin was pure glass? the actual KO punch was pretty hard!
    I go more with the fact he makes mistakes and his chin is pretty average, hit hard he is in trouble. That to me isn't glass but people like throwing that word around. Khan just isn't the great boxer people say he is, he makes too many mistakes and cant maintain his focus leaving himself open, he is also reckless and wants to brawl, show of how brave he is. You need an iron chin for that, which Khan certainly doesn't have.

    Problem is he fights as though he has a granite chin. Absurd given he was KO early in his career and hasn't adjusted. Some call it bravado, I call it stupid.

    Exactly, doesn't fight according to his physical attributes. What a huge ego....always shakes his head and pouts his lips whenever he's hurt and just stands there, what's he trying to prove? That he can take a punch? He can't!

    How many times ? Do you know what a ko is ? Didn't think so. Khan has been ko'd by canelo ONLY. Been tko'd by prescott and garcia, and ive seen khan take shots that he shouldn't had been standing if he had such a glass chin.

    Chin isnt good but he could make do with it if he knew how to change speed,knew what defense was and learned the most important thing when hurt, you hold your opponents until the ref literally has to separate you.

    According to you pac must have the weakest chin out of any multi weight champ in history. Dudes been in 3 separate comas, khan still has a lot of catching up to do.

    Worse than his chin are his inability to think when hurt, inability to recover when hurt and inability to not consistently fall for the same traps

    Who said decent ? There's a huge gap between utter glass and decent. Gtfohwts

    Pacquiao was KO by a tornado. Khan gets KO by punches the average fighter can take. I doubt Pacquiao would have been hurt by Garcia or Prescott's punch. We all know Hulquez's punch was half power and half amphetemines.

    Pac has fought twice as many fights as Khan, against vastly superior opposition and has been on the floor half the amount of times.

    His chin is in a different stratosphere to Khan's who eats the canvas vs people like Limmond.

    Imagine if Khan had fought the people that Pac has, he would have been knocked out many more times that's for sure.

    It is very difficult to fight a perfect fight for 12 whole rounds. It is possible to make the odd mistake and having a strong chin can help you recover. Mayweather got hit by Maidana but he survived.

    When Khan gets hit, you know its game over.

    Khan just doesn't have the chin for boxing.
