I have have a feeling you have never been hit with a good hook to the side of you head. All your nerves come out through your vertebrates down your body...this is your central nervous system. Sharp sideways pressure on them travels to the nerves. It can send shockwaves through your body. I know because the 1st time I took a good right hook from my sparring partner I felt a wave run down my right arm. I was so mad I wanted to retaliate with the most vicious shot I could take at him...but my right arm was like a wet noodle and hardly moved. Fortunately a second later that wave reversed and I had my arm back.
That was 13 years ago and I immediately started training my neck. Today I have a neck like a bull. A crunch to the vertebrae can cause anything from what I described to a flash knock down...or total loss of your legs and getting KTFO. The only reason you say what you said is because you haven't a clue what you are talking about. But thanks for your explanation all the same.
I´ve being hit with huge elbow to the side of the chin playing basket ball once, so hard that I tasted dust coming off my back teeth. I didn´t felt anything like what you are describing and my neck was 100% untrained at that time. Some people can handle brain trauma and sudden acceleration from punches better than others, a stronger neck wont help Khan at all.Comment

Your example is kinda wasted since you didn´t get knocked out. Besides

Who is comparing sports lol?. And why do you insist on defending that point?. Khan´s problem isn´t cervical, he just reacts badly when his brain is put in motion by punches... notice that his latest knock down came from a punch to the top of the head.Comment

I never gave any thought to Khan...I don't think much will help him. I'm just talking basics...if you don't think having a stronger neck is going to help a boxer...good for you.Comment
