i see ppl saying paulie will stop khan.... wtf... i know khan doesnt have the best chin in the world but paulie cant ko anyone.... seriously khan is not getting stopped... but he will stop paulie...
Amir took some good shots from Barrera. But ever since he got with Freddie Roach we haven't seen Amir get touched by any punch really. All his fights have been shut outs. Dmitry Salita was going to KO Amir and kept on saying how Amir had a glass chin. But look what happened. Salita did not land one single punch on Amir.
Amir has moved up to 140 and has made his legs stronger. At 135 his lower body was extremely weak and in Boxing having a weak lower body is a big NO.
Freddie Roach himself says that Amir holds his own when sparring with Manny Pacquiao who has so much power that he KO'd Cotto.
Amir has a good chin. Some idiots/ haters/ racists just can't see it like that but time will show them.
Yeah....your right we ARE under rating his chin and for GOOD REASON!
Paulie ROCKED Diaz several times in the second fight and DIAZ is WAAAAY more durable than Amir.
I like Amir...Im no hater but him being with Freddie Roach is ALL WRONG.
Khan needs to be trained by the Mayweathers because defense is what they do and with Khans blazing speed he could be great.
All Roach is doing is getting Khan ready to get knocked out.
Its sad but true.
Name one fighter that Roach has ever trained that was a great defensive fighter?
And before you say James Toney realize that Roach did not teach him that style.
Khan could be unbeatable if he learned the mayweather defensive style.
People underrate Paulie's chin also....everytime I see his name mentioned for a fight I hear people predicting his opponent to win by KO. Paulie ain't been stopped and the Hatton one was a corner stoppage. He had a smashed up jaw against Cotto and didn't get stopped.
:nonono: What a shitty avatar you have. I do agree with you though.

Khan hasn't got a good chin, but it's not so bad that he would get knocked out by Malignaggi.
This, Paulie couldn't KO a fly with his hands busted up like they are.
5 10 and making his Olympic weight of 135 was no longer possible in a healthy manner.
He was top heavy, quite toned but his legs were very thin. Not a good idea in boxing unless you are a masterful boxer with a great defense or chin, which he does not have or have had.
Under a new trainer, he doesn't get involed in a slug fest. His assett is his range and speed, so going toe to toe is a bad idea, especially when he is a thin 140lber.
He has a GOOD GYM NOW, BETTER SPARRING, MORE BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF TRAINING AND CONDITIONING.. tHIS HELPS
CAPS. MAY BAD.
His chin is still weak, but the shot he took from Kotelnik were hard as anything from Willie Limond.
Paulie knows Khan is chinny and may well go for the KO.
Its possible against Khan he will throw bigger shots. He normally couldnt hurt opponents with his best. This is an opportunity to get a special KO.

Paulie takes a lot off his punches because of his brittle hands but I am sure he can sit on his punches and hit harder if he wants to. If he loads up on his punches he has the power to wobble Khan. Watch the Prescott fight and the effect the jab has on him. People seem to overlook that and focus on the hooks Prescott threw but it was the effect of the jab that tells me Khan's chin is fragile.
Amir was 5'10 and fighting at 135. Thats not healthy. Now at 140 I believe his chin will be fine. Besides I feel like if he had just waited for the 8 count with the first knockdown against Prescott he wouldve survived and beat Prescott. But the guy has too much heart for his own good.
you are so right mate
