    Firing his trainer isn't going to fix his chin.

My main hope is that basically he got moved on to fast and was a boy fighting men, and twenty-one is very young so perhaps he'll toughen up in the future.

      Roach is a really good move though, and will help Khan get the best out of whatever he has.
      The shot that really started it was a temple shot so i don't worry much on that. It's the fact that he was stunned by a jab..

      I think Khan will be Euro Level at most tbh. His chin will stop him from being World Class.

            So much for self responsiblity. It is always easier to blame someone else for your shortcomings. It is like that for most things in life. You would think that it would be crystal clear that it wasn't the trainer who is at fault. It is the promoter and Khan for believing his own hype him as the next crown ***el in boxing. They were ignorant to the signs that Khan had significant problems with his chin and they aren't going to go away with a new trainer. He just can't take a punch.

                WTF? i cant believe they fired Rubio after he had set up a master plan to beat prescott all that hard work geeeeeeeez, yeah he did approve prescott and i can tell u prescott is a hard puncher obiously but he doesnt have half of khans skills, and Rubio was right on the money when he said he was gonna break him down after the 3rd round, only problem was that Khan couldnt last a minute with prescott soooooo maybe rubio was right the one that failled was khans chin

                      His opponents would just go to his body. Khan will need pads too.
