Any puncher that connects with Khan's glass jaw will have him stumbling around the ring like the town drunk. Roach may be the best trainer in the world, but you can't train a chin. I don't expect to see Khan in with any punchers in the near future. GBP will match him with smaller fighters and powder puff punchers. Basically the same as what Frank Warren did.Comment

A boxer can do a hundred abdominal crunches, a thousand press-ups and dance with a skipping rope all day. He can learn the art of attack and defence. But one question, particularly pertinent to Amir Khan, continues to vex even the wisest boxing brains, can anything be done about a glass chin? Angelo Dundee, who guided the great Muhammad Ali, sees no great mystery. “You can't train a chin,” he said, simply. Goody Petronelli, the only trainer Marvelous Marvin Hagler ever knew, always used to say, “You can’t train a chin.’’ That is what Freddie Roach has to be concerned about. Roach told an old friend a while back that “Goody was right,’’ when asked about Petronelli’s philosophy. No amount of weight work to strengthen neck muscles, for example, will alter how quick a fighter’s brain goes blank when hit on the chin. That ability to absorb shock is a gift from a Higher Power not something you can improve, like a jab or a hook. Roach can improve Khan's defence, but when that chin gets pounded by a puncher it will shatter into a thousand shards of glass. And that is why GBP will not let Khan in with a big puncher.Comment
