    Can Khan's Career Mimic Hayes?

    Khan just got sparked in 1 round against Prescott and has very weak punch resistance. Haye was also has a suspect chin in his early days. the same thing happened to him early on in his career, and look where he is now. Can Khan bounce back after a 1st round knockout defeat and become a world champion?

    Difference between Haye's loss and Khan's loss is that Haye was dominating Thompson before running out of gas and losing, his corner threw in the towel, he wasn't counted out and it was against a durable, tough fighter even though he was pretty old.

    Khan just got blown out in under a minute by a very marginally known Colombian in his backyard and I believe Khan's hype is/was bigger than Haye's.

    Hopefully, Khan can come back but suspect defense plus bad punch resistance normally spells disaster, Haye can take a better punch that Khan.

      Nah Haye was beating up Thompson bad and run out of gas, Thompson was a big puncher and Haye was still up firing back when the corner threw in the towel . Haye has taken punches from some big punchers at his weight and won, maybe at heavyweight he will get stopped but at cruiserweight his chin is ok where as Khan's chin is crap.

        Haye's chin isn't nearly as bad.
