Not when talking about Amir KhanComment

Yeah, guys who call anyone who gets KO'd "glass jaw/chin" have most definitely never boxed.
Some guys can handle a few more lbs/sq in than others but if you get hit flush you get knocked unconscious.
If you don't get knocked out by flush punches it means you have good defense (or an overly anxious opponent) not a punchproof cranium -- and yes as funny as it may seem those guys who get hit constantly and smother punches with their face but never go down do, in their own way, have good defense.
Even Khan is not "glass chinned", he just focuses so much on speed and combinations that he's wide open at perfect bomb range 90% of the fight.
Bums? Not really overused. There are a lot of broke fighters who just get paid to show up, not to win, and they pad every fighter's record. Boxing draws its talent pool from poor areas and for every kid who wants to be TBE there are 1,000 guys willing to get beat up for food. Some people think it's disrespectful to call any fighter a bum, but I think a line being drawn is good. Look at any fighter with 40+ wins on their record... Guarantee some of those opponents were fighting just to have something to eat that night.Last edited by ////; 02-20-2015, 09:17 AM.Comment

The majority of people here has never laced a set of gloves on their hands. It is extremely easy to talk crap about boxers when you have never taken even "biach" slap by own parents! They have no idea what is like to be hit full force in the jaw, broken noses, swollen eyes, been disoriented, etc. Some of you should try it. lolComment
