I disagree. We know Khan's chin isnt good and its certainly not granite. But it might still be decent, like Lewis's chin or Katsidis chin
If KHAN doesn't get KNOCKED DOWN against KOTELNIK

Khan has one of the worst chins in top level boxing, if not the worst. I just hope his defence can improve further.Comment

Well your opinion is obviously biased because anyone who is a neutral can see clearly that Khan was badly hurt against Limond, he was not just buzzed he was on the verge of being taken out.
Lewis was 6ft + he could fight tall and make it difficult for you to find him.Comment

The only good thing about Khan's abiltiy to take shot's is that he usually recovers quite well. Against Prescott, he took a huge left hook to the chin which gave him Zab Judah legs, and then a further left and right hook to his chin again. He got up after 2 seconds, but should have gone to his knee for the 8. Then he walked straight back into Prescott and ate another overhand right, before a left hook put him down again.
A poor defence and inexperience caused him to get ko'd so quickly. Khan is much better than a 1st round stoppage. I'm confident Roach will have tightened up his defence for the Kotelnik fight.Comment

I dont think Khan has improved defensively, all Roach has done is make him more patient by thinking more and using the jab, and getting him to fight strictly from long range, but he still stands tall and he is still open to overhand rights.
The problem for Khan is..............his defence has always been his activity, whilst you are throwing the other guy is playing defence.
Khan's problems arise from the fact not only does he have a bad chin but has a poor Boxing brain.
0.18
Khan reaches with a left hook to the body, if Khan had a Boxing brain he would not of been reaching down there, he would of got his feet there to throw the shot or, he would of put a jab upstairs to take away the eye's/ concentration of Prescott, THEN threw the hook to the body, he would not of got caught if he did either of those things.

You talkin to me ?
Im not sayin Khan will lose to Kotelnik, ive never seen Kotelnik fight, i missed the Rees fight.
Im saying that those flaws will show up further down the line when he fights a guy with power, who has a Boxing brain and the ability to set up counter punching opportunities.Comment
