    Ever hear of Terry Norris? First ballot hall of famer. Terrible chin.

    Hearns, a true ATG, had a pretty weak chin as well.

    So did Roy Jones, but no one realised for most of his career because no one could hit him flush. Khan is far harder to hit flush now than he was a year ago, due to Roach's influence.

    Wlad Klitschko used to be thought to have a china chin as well, but he's now a dominant Ring champion, and no one can land cleanly any more, due to Steward's influence.

    Even Ali was considered to have a weak chin in his early career, but later on he learned how to roll with punches and eventually was considered to have a great chin.

    It's far to early to write Khan off. He has obvious talent and an ATG trainer. There's a lot more to boxing than just how good your chin is. And chins can improve, as Ali showed.

        Good to hear that Bradley and Alexander are being mentioned from Khan's side. Once he polishes off that mandatory nobody in Salita, he should start looking at either Urango (assuming he wins his next fight) or Alexander. Bradley he should steer clear from for now, but Maidana... I don't think he should keep him waiting for any longer than a year. They need to fight.

          He took some tough shots from Andreas Kotelnik. Freddie was right, that extra 5 pounds makes a difference. Khan is definately improving, but has a long way to go.

              im puttin up 50k per fight that Khan beats both Bradley and Alexander. Even with his weakass chin. Bradley is wayy too wide with his punches and Alexander is too tentative to take advantage of opportunities.

                So very true.. the jump from LW to LWW has really improved his chin. He'll beat Salita, then he should take on Malignaggi and/or Urango. Then he should try to unify against Bradley or Alexander. A figh against Ortiz or Maidana would be interesting but to risky a this stage in his career - he should wait at least a year before taking on either of them, I think he can improve leaps and bounds by this time next year..

                    How about a tune-up fight for Khan in the Cotto undercard. I read somewhere that it may be in the works.

                      Well, Khan gets KTFO now. Alexander made Witter look like a ******, did you watch that ****? Witter looked like he never boxed in his life. Bradley would ruin Khan, lets not even discuss that one.

                      I give Khan my respect though for rising to true challanges, instead of ****ing around with Brits and Euros forever until he is 30+ and then fight a real champion and gets KTFO like Hatton did.
