I just finished watching Khan vs. Malignaggi...

[S.G.]

Pretty much how I feel.

Khan's chin was the very worst out of any top-level fighter in boxing. Top-level sparring must help but how much, really?

The Gomez knockdown encapsulates just how bad Khan's punch resistance was. It was a slowish hook thrown inside that didn't even catch Khan on the chin and BOOM! down he went. Against an old, shot, super-featherweight who Khan had already beaten the absolute snot out of for all the rounds prior.

Khan is a real talent. A world-class talent. Most talented British fighter of a generation. But that chin...jesus.

Haven't seen anything too worrying since he's been at 140lbs (though granted he's been in with two of the lightest punchers in boxing plus some guy who never even hit him.)

I'm betting his chin'll be a bit sturdier now he's not cutting so much weight.

almost everything about khan screams special fighter, but that chin, man, that chin............

From this post - I'm pretty sure Khan isn't your favourite fighter, tbh.

ATM he is, he like me is pakistani descent, why wouldn't he be, he's my idol, but i don't like the way he has hand picked his opponents, dude if you have followed his career since he started boxing in 2004 you would agree with me, i don't agree with hand picking opponents. I believe he is too good to be fighting people who are nowhere near his skill level, he fought barrera when he was past his prime, fair enough Salita was mandatory but look what he done to him, Maidana was meant to be next but he used an excuse that Maidana was not a big enough name for him when judging by Maidanas reception in this forum to me he seems like a very well known guy, everybody knows he should be fighting the Maidanas, Alexanders and Bradleys because of all this hype he has been getting you can't just pick your opponents off and say you want to fight fighters who are past there prime and then want to be known as the greatest, common now you can;t be doing that. I think he is the best British fighter of his generation without doubt nobody else comes near, Mitchell, Billy Joe Saunders, Frankie Gavin ain't nowhere near this guys level and never will be. He needs to fight the big boys from now on, he got KO'D hard by Prescott and if you want a legacy i'm sure you'll agree that you don't fight bums in order to either avenge the loss or be on the road back to greatness right?

And I gotta say, this boy sure got some talent. It was a pleasure watching him dismatle Paulie, who's been talking trash about everyone in a looong time. I'm aboard the Khan waggon. He got some skills and he sure can become great.

... If his chin can make it.

He has to work on a few things but the kid does have some talent.

He has a fast Jab that can give fighters problems.

Other fighters are gonna still question his chin.. but if he can withstand being hit by some hitters, then the kid has a very bright future.

Khan boxing stance and style is one that I dont think I've seen on any fighter.

Bernard hopkins/mayweather hybrid?

[DR.ORGYY]

maidana would beat the **** out of khan............

[Devils Advocate]

give him a break he's only 23 man ..
his legacy is just starting

I wonder how he would fare against Katsidis or would it be a mismatch, I was surprised at Kevin Mitchell's boxing Intelligence but he got suckered into a slugfest with Katsidis.

Just wait until hes in a fight with an elite 140lber and when the pressure is applied, how he deals with it. Then we'll see what hes really made of.

Fighting Paulie and taking his punches is not really a true test of his mentality and defence. Khans face didn't look too good after the fight.. How will he look after a Maidana or Alexander fight?
