Will moving up to LWW help improve Amir Khan's punch resistance?

no, he makes LW easily and it isnt due to be drained.

 

Yep the fat ******* is already at 0% body fat at lightweight.

Probabl will have a better chin if Roach gets him doing the right exercises etc and makes the few pounds count. Harder punchers though.

 

It can probably be improved ever so slightly maybe by strengthening the neck and legs but any improvement will be cancelled out by the fact that guys at 140 hit harder

 

Possibly a minimal amount. Whether you'll ever be able to determine this for sure is another thing entirely because his chin is coming from such a poor level.

I'd be impressed if he could just take a few solid digs even from an average to light puncher like Kotelnik. That is without buckling at the knees like he did against MAB.

 

Yes I think it will and I hope it does too !

 

He will be facing bigger punchers the higher he goes in weight. Seeing him do that chicken dance versus prescott doesnt bode well.

 

Not long till we find out.

 

No LWW punch harder than LW, Khan is going to get sparked out if he faces anyone who can hit

 

hes always been chinny even in the ams

 

Kotelnik has a respectable dig.

 

How do you know?

 

Theres videos of him being knocked down in the ABA's by Craig Watson and other stories of him being put over.

 

not true about making lightweight easy, its a struggle but not a "i dont eat and sleep in the sauna for 3 weeks" struggle.


I think Khan changed his body shape which helped and he will be able to put more weight on his legs which will improve his pucnh resistence, however the pucnhes at light welter will be bigger so it wont make much difference.

 

Any small improvement caused by the extra weight will be "swallowed up" by the fact that he'll be getting hit by bigger fighters.
