    Khan should be allowed to wear a headgear when fighting, to make it fair.

      unfortunately for this guy,

      they'll have to surgically remove the nerve endings on his chin for him to take punches

        I donīt think a stronger neck can help a "weak chin", a stiffer neck and head is gonna make the impact of acceleration more dramatic, it is easier to break a rigid object than a soft and moldeable one. Khan is gonna end uncounciouss

          If this is serious it is one of the dumbest comments ive heard on here for a while.

            Im pretty sure this guy disagrees with you as well as Gambler.

I used to train for boxing (nothing serious)...I still train my neck but I now I use a head strap attached to a cable machine because my old gym is gone.

              I find the biggest advantage of a machine over a headstrap is that when you go heavy with a head strap it rips up the skin on your forehead...I wear a tuque and it still scraps me up...especially if you use a nylon strap...they are like ginsu knives. Machines are well padded and very comfortably and that never happens...but very few gyms have them.

                Plus it looks less **** than being hunched over grunting and moving your head up and down in a suggestive manner.

                  What Khan needs is a jaw transplant maybe than can replace it with an iron one

                    I donīt think you understood me. Why do you think head rolling a punch makes it a lot less effective?, because you take momentum and acceleration off the punch by not giving it a stationary target. A stronger neck will make your head less prone to be moved by a punch but in turn will absorb and accumulate forces from it, it could be desirable in order to deal with light and medium punches but with the hardest strikes it could make them worse. Look at Hatton vs Pac, his head barely moved because of the strenght on his neck but he totally went to sleep.

                    That is interesting but most Kos are result of brain trauma from acceleration and impacts against the inner part of the skull... I think it is the most accepted theory.
