What Amir Khan needs to do if he wants to have big fights

Khan clearly has no chin. So Khan has 2 options as I see it if he wants to continue to fight and be able to beat the top guys ... 1) Focus way more of his training on defense (I would say leave Roach and go to a more defense oriented trainer) so he can avoid taking so many hard shots. or 2) Fight cautiously on the outside, always working behind the jab. This wouldn't make for great fights but would serve him better. He would still get caught occasionally but not as badly since he wouldn't be at risk as much flying in with combos. It's really a shame and makes me sad. He is such an awesome offensive fighters and is so good to watch. Great speed and punch variety and a big heart, his chin and D just keep failing him...

Khan needs a new trainer who specialises in defence. He is so poor on the inside that it is going to take a very long time for him to learn these new skills. Khan needs to drop being a star and become a complete fighter to become a real star. He really got showed up tonight. no way can I see him wanting a rematch. He can't make excuses like he did in the Peterson fight the bull**** won't cut it any more.

People shouldn't solely blame his chin, personally I think he has an average chin. His main issue is his defense and over extending his combinations; meaning throwing in 3s 4s 5s when it's unnecessary. He can't help it man, that's all he has. I guess somebody should tell him this isn't the amateurs anymore

needs a Wladamir Klitschko style ressurection... Steward? This would probably work but it would make him boring **** that, he doesn't need to be like a robot he just needs to pick his spots more and fight in control of himself. He is trying to be like Pacquiao but he doesn't have the chin for it and Roach does not give him the right gameplans.

New trainer, Freddie is overrated ( Not a knee jerk reaction been saying this for a long time). Focus on developing technique/skill that make use of his physical attributes. Avoid being top heavy and focus on strengthening his calf muscles. Replace his current jaw with a titanium one. I agree strongly with all of this lol. He def needs to strengthen his legs. Maybe strengthen his neck too, i notice mayweather does a lot of this, makes it so you dont feel the snap back from punches as much and are more resistant to the shock

His chin and punch resistance are very on-and-off, but he recovers pretty well. His style definitely needs to transform, and the first move should be to get rid of Freddie Roach.
