    he is obviously **** hot in offense, but again, is he simply too fragile to be a consistant champ?

    for me, pro boxers get hit, the moment he does, he gets ****ed up....

    i think you cant go out in the rain without getting wet....

    Khan gets stopped....

    Not in this fight.
    Too sharp, speed of hand and foot will be too much for Salita.

    I agree. It will be a factor in the future though.

    Well it didn't happen against Kotelnik when he was occasionally hit. There is a possibility he's a bit stronger now, by no means granite or even solid of course but a little bit sturdier. The equation for Salita is how often he actually lands and what power he has, both are questionable.

    As said, not in this fight but I do think his chin is going to limit his career at top level.

    I think his chin will hold up against most, i also predict he'll have another world title this time next year.

    If he gets sparked early on in this fight then it will be the end of any superstar pretensions. But even though he was sparked against Prescott and has been wobbled a few times, I don't hold with this "glass jaw" thing. He has only been knocked out once. It was a fairly spectacular fall from grace but it it has only happened once, and early in a fight. Since then he has improved and adapted his style.

    It is similar to Haye being labelled as having a weak chin (admittedly, he has used this to his advantage in promotions)... but he has never been KO'd. 1 TKO because he gassed against Thompson. Apart from that , yes he has been put down but he has always got up and won.

    The same may be true for Khan but until such time as this is proven, we'll never know. I think he has the skills to swamp most guys with fast and hurtful punches and still maintain a decent defence. He has to. I'm not saying he has a jaw of substance- he has taken a few clouts before and survived- but simply that it may not be as weak as has been made out. I doubt whether this guy will test it later. (I've almost certainly jinxed him now). Sorry, I've rambled more than I meant to.

    I consider Limond and the Prescott beat down/KTFO highly.

    I once, here i think, told someone they were so right that Limond didnt have him out........he did, and said person didnt see the dry sarcasm.

    Khans got more weight in his boots now rather than top heavy and as people have said he will eventually get bingo'd, then again..........the best go down........the BEST get up.

    He gets up well, Warren or not, the boys got heart and desire.

    Any fight fan whether they love or hate, more so hate can/should see that.........he wants this ( respect and titles ) and it seems more than a fan thing, more a him thing.

    spaghetti legs in the ams, dropped by pillow fisted hitters and then sparked by Prescott.....the boy has a seriously eggy chin and WILL get caught and sparked soon. Probably not tonight, but don't worry soon enough.
