Why do people say Amir Khan has a glass chin?

[W1LL]

To be honest, Khan's lack of punch resistance could have been attributed to trouble making weight.

amir has a giant bird nose i wonder how many times its been broken?

its the peds, it builds the bone up with steel molecule structure.


























................. hahahah kidding.

[War Dinamita]

He got knocked out one time ... like big deal? Pacquiao been knocked out twice .... he has a good chin

Manny was a kid cheating just to fight.

Khan got hit with a good shot and he also been knocked down in fights he won.

[Big Vern]

There were a few moments in the fight with MAB where he looked hurt too.

But, to be fair, I think even his most avid of fans agree that he has a suspect chin.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

He was also hurt by Barerra.

[Rabbit ♠]

Only one was a body shot

To be honest, Khan's lack of punch resistance could have been attributed to trouble making weight.

As well as being too heavy up top with skinny legs (this has changed) and now having tougher sparring etc all contribute to improvement in punch resistence. AT THE END OF THE DAY PEOPLE WILL NOT BE CONVINCED UNTIL HE FACES A PUNCHER, SO NOT POINT IN DEBATING, JUST WAIT N SEE

I knew this was comming, it always does. Khan had a really good fight tonight but don't get too happy, when he is ko'd by a nobody in the first round of a fight, come on you know the rest. And I did see Khans face a couple times when feather fist landed every once in a while. His face said ouch. He fights Maidana and he's gonna get caught, dudes gonna go down. Khan's got so much glass in his jaw he should be a chandelier.

Crazy, Cant help but think he gonna get KO'd real bad like Hatton did against Pacquiao

i agree.
let us not forget that when a boxer is caught "cold" as they say, it doesnt need to be a really big shot to take someone out in this way if they are lucky enough to get through while the opponent is still in the warm up process.
i.m.o i think the question was about his defense but, he proved last night that the days of amateur style fighting are well gone, good win.
