    Khan's problem isn't his chin or his recooperation

    The problem is he cant get out of the way of punches. He cant slip or duck a punch and he tries to throw 5 punch combinations as if he is Roy Jones. When he throws his head stays in the same place and is an easy target. Even when hes not throwing hes an easy target, but when he throws his chin and head are on a platter begging for his opponent to hit him clean.

    He could learn alot from Tim Bradley about avoiding punches, but he doesnt have the ability to do what Tim does in there. He definately needs major work on getting out of the way of punches. Unless your Margarito, Myorga, or the raging bull, your not gonna last long taking the clean shots to the grill that Amir takes.

    I agree, his defence is terrible. The guy doesn't learn and is to caught up in his own hype machine to actually realise he has flaws that need to be corrected. He truly believes he is an elite fighter. Even his interview after the fight was the same old crap - "I made one little mistake and got caught". He is dumb.

      All he has is fast hands & heart, that is it!

      He hasn't learned fcuk all in near 30 pro fights after several scares as well as losses.
      He is a product of his own hype, he is too pig-headed to listen to anybody that could help him.

      He has ZERO head movement.
      His punch selection is awful, he tends to push with punches.
      He has the footwork of a new born lamb.
      He sticks his chin in the air.
      He overreaches & don't bring his hands back to his damn face.
      His coordination isn't very good either.

      All in all he sucks, he has a glass jaw and horrendous defense and his offense is completely overrated too boot.

        ^^ All of this to spot on. Just imagine what Mayweather would have done to him if he had managed to get that fight. It would have been painful to watch!

        In Fact, just imagine him in there with JMM! Khan would be counter punched from one side of the ring to the other until his wobbly legs permanently turn to jelly.

          this is true also, in short his defense sucks. But it's not so much his head movement, you can't really move your head when you throw other than to tuck it in which he doesn't do, but it's the fact he doesn't keep his hands up when he throws. If you notice when he was knocked down the first time (i.e. the brutal shot that got him on ***** street for the rest of the fight), he was throwing a left and his right hand was way down in preparation to be thrown instead of being up at his face. If his right hand would have been at his face blocking like it's supposed to be, he would have easily blocked the bomb that landed on his jaw and destroyed him
          Good summary... especially the bit in bold

            Agreed, I dont know that his jaw is glass, but its definately average at best. But an average Jaw that is easily tagged will give that glass effect. His defense is so poor, that his jaw might as well be called glass. Everything else you said I Agree with 1000%

              This is his big problem + he is overlooking his opponents

                maidana, peterson and garcia threw so many flush bombs to his head... this guy is looking at serious damage later on in life.

                  He is just like Juanma Lopez. Had all the tools but his defence is just horrible and let's be honest he can easily get hurt.

                    He should throw less punches himself, that would help.

                    I agree though, Khan is a bit thick. If he was as smart as Klitschko for example, I have a feeling he'd be far less beatable.
