    Khan is a different animal to what he was back then, his whole body shape has changed drastically... he was ripe for a knockout with his shape before, he works of a lot more solid base now.

              Kostya Tszyu? When did his chin ever let him down? In fact, he had a killer beard.



              Ricky Hatton? His chin failed him in his last couple of fights when he got knocked out by Mayweather after a prolonged beating, and then was put on very shaky legs by light hitting Lazcano, then KO'd by Pac...But, apart from those he had always showed a tremendous chin. The Pac fight you can't say his chin let him down. His defence let him down.

              What a bizarre list.

                As I think of it most fighters that fit here, didnt let me down by lack of chin. They couldn't help that. They did however let me down for fighting the wrong fight or by punching when they should have been boxing. On the other hand many fighters that might have had questionable chins kept winning because they used defence and their brains rather than courage and their chins.

                    Yeah, imagine if Michael Moorer had a chin, he would have been a serious challenge for any heavyweight.
