    Clearly not the sturdiest mandible in the game, but is he packing glass?

    I think everyone would agree that his chin is certainly not granite -- but it's not yet clear it's super-fragile china either.

    Personally, I'm gonna put him on the Suspect Mandible List and wait and see.

    If I had to make a call, I bet before all is said and done he takes a few more canvas naps and he ends up qualifying for Glass Jawed Warrior status!

    He looked really bad last night. Defense and reflex were awful

    Amir Tszyu? Tim Khan? Either way, he's not doing his chin any favors by standing in front of his opponent with his hands down, hooking with a guy that has a faster, sharper hook and not tying up when he is hurt.

    I remember Tszyu getting dropped by Gausha. He was never sturdy, he just had a lot of heart and only knows how to fight going forward

    He gets caught flush, he has a poor guard and no head movement.

    If he had a solid mandible those deficits would be far less likely to lead to a KO loss.

    Chins matter in boxing!!

    None of this matters if he has an Iron Chin.

    ….it doesn’t matter until it does… Didnt matter with Joe Joyce, Deontay Wilder, Antonio Margarito, etc…… until it did matter, because it’s very rare that a guy with poor defense remains “iron chinned” through the entirety of their career.

    Wilder was always a Glass Jawed Fighter. Why did you even list him? :lol:

    Seriously. Beyond ridiculous. Fighters with decent chins don't taste canvas against scrubs like Dustin Nichols or Harold Sconiers!:deal: :lol:

    By the way, on topic, while Tszyu's chin is clearly shaky, it's nowhere as bad as Wilder's!!:nono:

    Iron chins are the exception, not the rule. Fundamentals matter more than a solid chin.

    Tim clearly doesn't have an iron chin. That is more evident after this KO loss. Some boxers roll well with punches, which Tim didn't seem to be doing. He completely underestimated his opponent and didn't fight a smart fight. A smart fight would have been boxing and wearing his opponent down without taking major risk trading hooks. The first KD was the beginning of the end, from which he didn't recover. His method of recovering was trying to fight fire with fire, that's just wrong.

    They were really clean, flush and heavy shots he was getting cracked with and he took a bunch of them before he went down for the first time and many after hauling himself up off the canvas all those times too the vast majority of which whilst he was still hurt or badly hurt. He got back up quickly after each KD too which says something for his powers of recovery but also lead to him getting put back over again

    Regardless of where his chin ranks on the international mandibular fortitude scale it's certainly not glass

    The left hook in the 2nd was as flush as it comes, that was effectively fight over, you can’t judge the chin off that.. Pretty much the same that happened to AJ few weeks back.

    It was a horrible game plan by Tszyu, tbh him and his team have made bad move after bad move trying to make it in the US.

    Yeah you’re not biased at all with a user name like that….

    Have 40+ pro fights, several against world ranked opposition (regardless of what some dork on the internet thinks of them) and become a world champion without getting stopped then you can talk about Wilders “glass jaw” you clown.
