Khan moving up to 147 might increase his punch resistance

[DannYankee]

No just no man, Khan is a lost cause he will always be competitive tho. He can even get world championships, but you cant stay at the elite level for long with that type of extreme chinness and bambi legs. And going where guys hit harder will just make the problem worse.

[TRTboy]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the julio diaz fight at 143-144? I think it's safe to say he wasn't struggling to make weight in that fight yet he was getting rocked and doing a funny dance when diaz hit him clean.

Khan problem is he does not roll with the punches. He takes the full impact of punches because while he's throwing his pitter pat punches his head is still and he has no ****in clue when a punch is coming and just takes the full impact.

Khan's chin will be rock-solid at 175.

[Hougigo]

You guys are idiots. He has elite level 2.0 neck and doesn't need to move up. Even if he did, he'd take it to HW and by OP's logic, he'll never get hurt again

Why does Khan's coach have him doing the flamingo though

[Wyl-Out]

Khan has been dropped n hurt too many times, so it may be too late for his chin. The difference between him and devon is that when Devon fought at 140 u can see that he was drained but he still took a punch n khan never really looked drained at the weight but couldnt stand hard punches. I dont think the weight will help him that much, without hating i say khan is due for another ko loss

Here we go again!

Pre fight;
Drained at 140 killing himself to make weight
Much better fighter with new trainer
Can beat Floyd @ welter

Gets KTFO!

Post fight;
Religion gets blamed
Does a Berto, blames & fires trainer again!
Should of stayed at 140
Marriage was going **** up
Considers going up to 154!

Nothing but a heavily flawed amateur with no chin if you ask me

I'll say this, Maidana hit Khan with everything but the Kitchen sink and couldn't knock him off his feet. Julio hit him with a grazing blow and floored him. I think the weight is an issue, but I don't know how much better he will fair because the punches coming at him will be even harder at 147. I think if he learns to roll punches better and not get caught flush too man times he'll be alright.

[James_Toney]

he's not even in the type of condition come fight night where you'd think he was killing himself...

he's has a horrible chin.... and poor footwork..... both heels off the canvas + a week chin = ko

that's bs....

if it wasn't for joe cortez constantly breaking them when maidana got close, he would have been ko'd.
