Every clean shot Vargas landed wobbled Khan, his punch resistance was always bad, but now it is non-existant
Vargas is an average puncher and Khan made him look like Maidana
I was watching back this Canelo fight and Canelo landed on Khan clean a number of times and Khan did not wobble until he was rendered unconscious.
He fought well in this fight, but now with Goosen is looks like a total mess of a fighter.
I think he should be forced to retire because brain injuries are no joke. Everyone wants to see Khan fight Brook? Most probably want Khan to die in the ring or end up like Gerald McClellan. Canelo finished Khans chin off
I think it is very much worse. He was out cold for a long time when Canelo knocked him out and that might have made it worse. He was able to survive with Maidana who hit him much harder than Vargas did. Khan looked fat, soft and flabby for Vargas. How hard did he train? Is his heart in boxing or does he just want a big check or two before he retires?
Nelo.might have made it worse you could say. But Nel o hit Khan with more than Prescott did.
So Khan chin was already weak way back when fighting presscott.i
He often looks a little vunerable like Roy Jones or Wladimir, its nothing new and part of the reason hes so entertaining to watch with the biggest viewing figures ever on a sub channel, against essentially an unknown opponent in uk. Onwards and upwards!
He's a really talented guy but yea, that chin got real shaky. I think Khan missed a lot of big opportunities (many because certain guys avoided him) but that's how she goes. Can't say he wasn't responsible for most of it.
Fighting Canelo pretty much shortened his career overnight.
It is the same for Brook, fighting GGG shortened his career, but the difference is Khan already had many miles on the clock and was in a lot of tough fights and absorbed a lot of punishment
Brook is still fresher of the two
Chris Algeri was landing the very same shot i.e Overhand right on Khan and Khan was on his wobbly legs everytime he hit him with that.
He was only wobbled once in that fight
In this fight he wobbled no matter what punch Vargas landed, i counted 3 wobbles and that is not including the knock down
Canelo finished whatever was left of Khans punch resistance. He has taken a lot of punishment over the years, there are many vultures around Khan including Goosen.
Khan has always had a suspect chin, even going down against nobodies before he was a champ so his chin might not be getting worse. It's just always been not great.
But Khan seemed to be talking well after fight which surprised me i heard people mention slurring before.
Khan has a weak chin but an iron will
The shot that was more worrying wasn't the one putting Khan down, it was the right hand that clipped his chin and Khan's legs went funny. That wasn't even a big shot, Vargas was over reaching and Khan moving back and it still had a big effect.
Yeah i noticed he got rocked several times by arm punches, vargas was cheery picked for a reason he was a pressure fighter who wasnt a devastating puncher. But he was rocking khan anytime he landed a grazing shot

I'm not sure why people call Khan "glass chin"?
Isn't that suppose to be used when a fighter gets knocked out often? Khan gets dropped but he doesn't get put to sleep.Khan has a better chin than bums who get knocked out all the time. For a boxer who claims he can beat any welterweight and wants to compete at the top level his chin is GLASS. When today's Khan fights any top welterweight who can punch he is expected to lose by KO. Hell it's damn near a certainty that he loses by KO.
Khan is a 5 round fighter. If the match is 5 rounds or below then Khan stays undefeated. Khan can't fight for all 12 rounds without getting caught.BS! A mediocre cherry pick 30 to 1 underdog Vargas caught him very early and damn near knocked him out. Spence or Crawford would only need a round or two to knock out today's Khan.

I can't stand Khan because of his arrogance, conceit and disrespect toward other boxers and his extreme bragging often over nothing. I don't want him to die in the ring or be permanently injured and I don't many others do. I would like him to take a good ass kicking and retire though. Nobody can make him retire. There are pro boxers who have been knocked out 10, 15, or even 20 times and they are not made to retire so how can Khan be forced to retire unless some test shows serious brain damage.

Very very true, he is GOAT for 5 rounds.
