Is Amir Khan's chin really as bad as people say it is?

[LacedUp]

Its pretty obvious he doesnt have a good chin. He just went life and death with Diaz and now gets the Mayweather fight LOL People need to stop trying to make Khan look good to justify the Money fight. I like Money but this is some real BS. Anyways I still think it will be an entertaining fight since Khan has good speed and a ig heart, but dont get me wrong, he has 0 chance of winning.

Life and death is a slight exaggeration of what actually took place.

lol yeah ur right but still u know what i meant. this kind of fight doesnt give u thr right to fight the P4P champ,right?

yes. khan's in shape and tough, but big punches almost always shake him up. they've been shaking him since the amateurs.

I think he takes a helluva punch kahns a fighter at heart hes explosive with his speed i never seen him technicly pick someone apart he gets in position and explodes with speedy straight shots,he should never have been matched against prescott his style was all wrong for kahn at that time,prescott maidana and garcia hurt everybody they get in with dannys punch was clever kahn jumped in with his head up more than once and garcia knew he would catch him big! that was a calculated bomb that kahns blind fury did not see,he beat maidana he beat peterson i think personally, those shots peterson was getting in behind kahns guard were heavy his legs did not wobble at all 12 rounds of heavy shots he stood up,i think most of the kahn hate is because you either like him or you dont he has said some crazy stuff but the dude will fight anyone.He hasnt looked good in his last 2 fights thats threw maybe the cautious approach wont suit him or maybe something that was there is no longer.

Nobody mentioned anything about a fight with Floyd.

You're right big punches do shake him up when he gets caught clean but I think it's pretty reasonable in my opinion because his big heart seems to always carry him through and anyone can get hurt when they get caught clean but not everyone has the kind of heart that Amir has. Laced Up made a valid point earlier though, that judging from his most recent fight his chin might have deteriorated to an even more susceptible level.

I think he does have a weak chin You can make excuses for his KO losses and the many times he has been hurt with head punches. I think Prescott would have KOed Khan if he hit him with same punches no matter which round of the it happened to be. I think Maidana would have KOed him if not for the ref to stop the action so often to break the fighters when they weren't tied up. Once he is hurt Khan is very slow to recover. I think Mayweather will again prove that Khan has a weak chin by KOing him in 6 rounds or less.

It's very bad. At the elite level, you can't get away with that kind of chin. He just doesn't seem to be able to ever brush off shots.

I think that it improved once he went to the Wildcard and started sparring world class fighters, it sort of toughened his resistance up a bit. But maybe Danny Garcia once and for all. He was shaken up regularly by Diaz. I think Floyd might let him get away with lasting the full fight but he will undoubtedly go down at some point.
