    Khan was able to brace the punches of Maidana for the most part because Maidana isnt fast and throws wide looping punches. Boxers with faster hands can hurt Khan cause the punches that you don't see are the ones that can really hurt you especially if you're not known for having a great chin.

    That's a very ****** way to avoid the question.

    Khan got hit with everything Maidana had for a good 2 minutes in round 10 and right hands and uppercuts in other rounds and he didn't go down once. Khan showed he has a solid chin against a game, game fighter.

    Sure Khan was hurt but don't forget the body shot which decked Maidana and had him wincking like a child

      His chin isnt as great as people in this thread are making it out to be. Maidana can punch but he's not Tyson like everyone wants to make it seem. The fact is that Khan's chin is clearly below average but worst of all, his defense also is and thats a bad mix. He shouldnt have been hit with most of the shots that hurt him anyways. Gets hit way too clean and his chin isnt good enough to overcome that against the elite guys

        His chin is a D+ at best.

        Corley also doesn't have a very good chin and he went 12 with Maidana.

          He's got no chin.

          He's got Joke Khortez helping him though. So he doesn't need a chin.

            I don't think he has a world class chin. His lack of chin will keep less skilled fighters in the fight with him. Looping, heavy arm punches in rd 10 when Maidana was tired had him on ***** street. Uppercuts without any waist movement or leverage had him stuck in his tracks. Accurate punchers regardless if they don't hit as hard as Marcos, will be his downfall.

              Amir Con has GBP who is without any young stars and is desperate to develop one and will pay off referees, judges, and whoever they need to, to ensure he wins.

                His chin held up so it's better than we thought but in no way, shape, or form would I say it is good. He got rocked in the 10th and really was unable to collect himself for the remainder of the fight. If he gets cracked earlier in a fight, he will be iced. He has terrible recovery and struggled to keep his composure or even show ring iq and hold on. Khans stock dropped drastically in my book last night. His defense needs so much work.

                  His chin isn't Glass. But its not iron. Its average at best but its still his weakest asset.

                    Maidana would've knocked Khan out if he gave himself a little more punching room I think but those short mauling type punches like the uppercuts on the inside and body work was effective when it came to breaking Khan's will.
