I don't think he chin is as bad as some let on. Sure he has a fairly weak one, but some in here would claim near misses would knock him out.
Prescott hit him with some mean punches early in a fight where he probably was not warmed up. That has happened to a lot of fighters.
I could make a long list of fighters who have had even good chins who got caught early and starched. The jury is still out on Khan. We will know soon enough how good or bad his chin is.
Ring awareness can compensate for a bad chin. If you see the punches coming, your chin is multiple times better by default. He seems more defensively sound than he used to be so it all may be moot.
