Is Khan's chin that bad?

All whispering Virgil did with Khan is he made him jump around and throw less than before

Yes Khan's chin is really bad. A fly buzzing around the gym landed on his chin during training and knocked him out for a good minute.

He got rocked by Algieri. Who has as soft hands as Paulie Malignaggi. Khan has one of the worst chins you could ever imagine of a boxer whom routinely has title fights.

In the grand scheme of things, no it's not that bad, there are thousands and thousands of fighters who can't take punches from domestic level fighters. At the level he fights at, I would say it's below average. Far too much is made of it though and I agree with people who say he gets hit by punches he doesn't see. His conditioning and toughness are excellent though, that probably helps mask his chin issues sometimes.

It's not that bad. Only big punchers have knocked him out. Khan is at the level where he is fighting champions and top contenders. At that level his chin is average at best. Khan has the same problem Terry Norris and Judah had. He has slow recovery. Once he gets hurt he stays hurt even after the one minute break between rounds. Some boxers like Trinidad have very fast good powers of recovery. Trinidad was knocked down often but he would be back on his feet in a flash and be right back on the attack and as good as new. He was very rugged. Khan can't do that. He is too fragile at the top level. Khan's chin isn't so bad that average punchers can easily hurt him. Only Canelo KOed Khan with one punch and that vicious punch might have KOed almost anyone near that weight class.

Khan has often been said to have a glass jaw, but does he really, or is it just below-average? He took punches from Maidana and never went down, and Canelo and Prescott are hard punchers. From what it looks like, our first impression is that his chin is weak. However, if you look closely, his chin is iron. What is really happening is when he gets hit, he gets so filled with rage that it causes a lack of blood flow to his brain causing him to feint. It is his temper holding him back from greatness. Yeah that's it.

Not glass, but below average He has good recouping powers though But like someone said its the shots he doesn't see coming, whenever he has been caught, its been by a clean, flush shot, with full force and in between combos... Thats how you beat Khan, catch him in between a flurry, or when he has his hands down, but not every boxer can do this, especially those that struggle with his hand speed or dont have the best timing. Even with a better chin, Khan will still have these flaws and hit the canvas, you cant leave your chin hanging in the air like he does. If he is to fight again, he needs a tune up and then should fight Brook and call it a day, its the perfect time what with his profile going back up with Im A Celeb, and he is doing quite well

Boxing purists and neutrals would disagree. Khan actually takes most shots well when he sees it coming. The problem is his lack of boxing IQ which means even an obvious punch sometimes would be a punch that he didn't see coming and those are the punches that take fighters out. Whereas other fighters would possibly be able to ride out the shots they didn't see coming Khan cannot since he puts everything into his flurries and is completely all in. Just begging to get iced. This tends to happen mid Khan flurry. It's a shame the kid didn't start out with Virgil because Virgil did instill some noticeable fundamentals in his style. It was probably too late to instill the discipline to stick to a game plan though. Everything has its positives and negatives. Speed included.

Khan has often been said to have a glass jaw, but does he really, or is it just below-average? He took punches from Maidana and never went down, and Canelo and Prescott are hard punchers. Glass might be taking it a notch far... below championship level chin for sure, probably below average chin in general. Huge heart though and in his defense although I hate him as a person the times he was iced cold on the ground were from Canelo and Prescott.

It was definitely brittle at lightweight, but when he moved up to 140 it was better. Just look at some of the flush shots that Maidana landed without him even blinking. The shot that Garcia landed had Khan moving straight into it. And Canelo was too big so it stands to reason that he got knocked out there. So yeah, I don't think it's as bad as some say.

Amir Khan has a decent chin

If khans chin was an ubder driver, it’d have 2 stars.

But khan wouldn't admit His chin is weak.

He was out on his feet against Chino Arizas DMAA shakes kept him alive Khan has a week Chin and also almost no anticipation of the opponent He barely sees counterpunches thrown at him

Yeah Khan’s chin is bad. He has heart though but his chin let’s it down all the time. Anyone who is seen as having anything even slightly around better than average punching power can hurt/drop him. Yes this is boxing and any human on the planet can go down and get hurt by a blow to the head, but some are subject to it more than others; Khan is among them. Some people find that moving up in weight helps with the absorption of head blows and the maturity of going from a younger to a more experienced fighter seems to help in some cases too, but Khan seems to have been vulnerable to being hurt at any time and any weight in his career.

yes algerie made him do the stanky leg for a second

I won't kick him when he's down I just think hes not good at riding punches. He likes taking them full foirce Of course you don't want to kick him while he's down, you run the risk of a serious leg injury doing all that kicking.

Is Khan's chin that bad? Hell yes, of course, affirmative, obviously, no doubt, fvck yeah, etc.
