    I've seen him take some punches. He has major lapses in defense, I think that's more of a factor than his chin.

    The same anxiousness that leads to his embarrassing defensive lapses also seems to make him try to get up too soon and contort on the ground all ******ed not recovering properly...

      Below average but underrated. Kind of like Wlad's chin. People seem to always expect these two to go down with the first decent punch they get hit with. Their chin is weak, but not that weak.

        I voted solid..... his chin isn't anywhere near as bad it's made out. It's more him getting throwing reckless combinations and then trying to get up almost instantly.

        In other words falling in love with his speed and lazy defence.

          When he see the punches coming he can deal with them better. Its the ones he don't see that puts on ***** street.

          He does have the hear to get up and try to fight but his chin doesn't cooperate.

            Look at how thick Khan's neck is, it's massive and there's no doubt that he has worked hard on tyrying to improve his durability and it's still a big weakness for him. So no he doesn't have a good chin.

              this, he has a bad chin, but what makes it worse is that he isn't very smart when he gets hurt and he always gets hit with the same punch

                His chin is what makes things exciting. He can be winning a fight and in any giving moment it might fail him.

                  I saw him take CLEAN punches from Collazo/Alexander and didn't get wobbled at all recently.

                    It's the punches that he doesn't see coming that really get him, i.e: Garcia left hook and the Maidana shot in the 10th. However after taking those punches he took huge punches that he was braced for and he took them fairly well. His recovery doesn't seem to be great either which doesn't help, it takes him a while to get over big shots.

                      That's a great point. I don't think the trouble is his chin, more a defense issue which he has worked hard on and his recuperative abilities that i'm not sure will ever improve.

                      Saying he has no chin or one of the worse chins is laughable seeing as he has never been out cold.
