Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Addresses Skeptics Questioning His Chin

[Vadrigar.]

If Garcia's left hook landed on Khan's chin rather than his neck, I reckon he would've been down for the 10 count.

Presscott was 17KO's in 19 fights before Khan fight who you clowning mate? and Garcia too has a good overall KO ratio, lets not forget that both Presscott and Garcia caught Khan with Hayemakers.

I spoke facts which obviously you are not keen to. Prescott had 17 KO's against who????? The fact is, Prescott had a 33% KO ratio and Garcia had a 20% KO ratio in the timeframe I mentioned. Khan has issues taking big punches. Even Diaz had him hurt and Diaz was no huge puncher at 135, let alone higher weights. No one is dumb enough to say that Khan takes a great punch.

You can sell me on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; you can sell me on bigfoot and the lochness monster; but you ain't selling me on Khan's good chin.

Exactly. No one can spin it to make Khan look like he takes a great punch.

Khan said, "Look, I've been hit by the likes of Maidana, who's one of the biggest punchers in the division, and I was fine". No you weren't! After Maidana caught you in round 10, you were stumbling all over the ring, even turning your back to Chino, trying to get away from him so you wouldn't get KO'd! You should probably just STFU now, and do the best you can in the ring. The more you speak out, the worse you look.

I didn't say he takes a great punch but did you see the hooks that hit Khan in Garcia and Prescott fights? those were Hayemakers man and well timed shots.

Khan doesn't have a chin, but it's OK. It's kind of what makes his fights exciting. The thought that at any moment in the fight his opponent can come up with one big punch and end his night.

Lots of fighters with weak chins have gone on to have great careers. Look at Vladimir.

The problem is we're not just remembering his last fight, we're remembering the half dozen other fights or so where Khan hit the canvas or was stumbling around the ring on Bambi legs about to hit the canvas.

It's only a matter of time and the right opponent before he's on his ass again.

One thing you can't deny about Khan is that he can take one hell of a beating after he's hurt.

agree these clowns have no clue that Garcia was throwing wild hayemakers and Khan was still fighting back.

Presscott was 17KO's in 19 fights before Khan fight who you clowning mate? and Garcia too has a good overall KO ratio, lets not forget that both Presscott and Garcia caught Khan with Hayemakers.

Garcia didn't hit Khan with haymakers. I think you need to rewatch that fight. He was timing Khan with his counters.
