    Why people blame Khan's chin for Danny Garcia loss?

    Just finished watching the fight again.

    Khan took some solid bombs on the chin in that fight.

    The punch that knocked Khan down was a very well timed shot with everything behind it and it landed on the back of his neck, just below his right ear, can't see how can you blame Khan's chin for that?

    Do you see any other fighter taking that punch clean without going down? I don't think so, that punch would've knocked anyone down.IMO

    Offcourse Khan should've done better after the KD tho, should've clinched and hug instead of exchanging punches or going toe to toe, Roach did an awful job in the corner in my opinion, he wasn't instructing him anything like (try to grab or clinch put your freaking hands up, don't get caught with hooks/uppercuts etc) I think Khan under V.Hunter would've reacted better in that situation.

    What do you think? thoughts?

    My thoughts, dude let it go. The fight is over and done with. Yes the shot was well timed and many could have gone down but it doesn't negate the fact that Khan has a suspect chin.

    Its not only against big punchers that Khan has gone down. Willie limmond for example in not a murderous puncher. Even Julio Diaz who is a strong puncher but not a huge one had Amir down. People just have to live with it.

      Yeah that was a helluva shot. Impeccably timed to the zillionth degree.

      If I recall correctly Danny threw it blind and was really just going for the homerun there...and damn did he hit that MFer out of the park.

        A perfectly timed shot by Danny Garcia.

        People Blame Khans chin because khans chin totally sucks.

        Khans chin is worse than the Dallas Cowboys in the Fourth quarter.

          Khan's chin is bad but not THAT bad.
          I mean he survived Maidana onslaught, took bombs on the chin in PEDerson fight, I think its more his defence than his chin which sucks.

            Bayless should have stopped it after first knockdown .

            But I must say khan has excellent recuperative skills.

              It's pretty clear that Khans chin won't be regarded among the Haglers in boxing lore.

              But yeah, that shot that Garcia landed would have dropped a lot of guys at 140.

              T'was a beaut.

                Because he already had that reputation so people are going to readily reach for it. It's ******, but that is why. The real reason why he lost (the same reason he loses all his fights) is ******ity. Khan cant use his brain in the ring when he is hurt, so he has this macho-man complex that tells him to hurt the guy who hurt him.

                As Ali once said, he cant think deep enough to think "I just got knocked down, Im getting another chance, let me recover and get my senses back together". Instead he goes in, gets knocked down again and STILL cant think "okay that twice now, now Im getting a THIRD chance.......". It's rinse and repeat with Amir until he's completely immobile or the referee cant give anymore chances.

                  Why I tune into Khan fights.

                  There is always that chance he catches one, and is Bambi on Ice.

                  The thing about him, ****** or not, is that he does try to fight back after he is hurt. For the most part. Pederson and Maidana, he did the smart thing. And maybe that's a big detriment as far as some of his losses, but it's a "fighters spirit" thing that I like about him.

                  PS.

                  I like Khans balls.
