Comments Thread For: Hunter Very Satisfied With Durability of Khan's Chin

[VERSION1 (V1)]

come on the guy has 8 kos if he would have got ko by him he should retire

[Hype job]

He generally beats all the B/C class guys though. Alexander, Maidana, Malignaggi, Kotelnik, Algieri, Peterson, Judah, Collazo etc.

If he could take a punch the likes of Garcia and Prescott wouldn't have been able to hang with him either.

He just has that achilles heel rooted in his E class chin.

To be honest he beats most B/C class non punchers now but throw a Welter puncher in there and he's a goner. Welterweight Maidana knocks him out, Garcia puts him back on twerk street, Thurman near kills him, Porter would KO him too.

Regardless of his chin, what I saw was that Khan didn't handle the pressure well from a feather fisted fighter.

He never has. PEDerson did the same thing.

[aAgger]

Algieri is a 140 pounder with 8 KOs, just because Khan didn't go down against a guy like that doesn't mean he has a better chin now. Let's see how strong his chin is if he gets tagged by a guy like Thurman or Maidana again.

Khan already got tagged by Maidana plenty of times, and he didn't go down. Like Hunter said, as long as he sees the punches coming, he won't go down. It's only when he doesn't see the punches, like with Garcia or Prescott, that he goes down. And neither fighter punch as hard as Maidana, who Khan didn't go down against.

Khan was just living up to the reputation of the Predictable Boring Crap series. Uncle Al played another egg. Khan belongs with Golden Boy

lol is this a joke how is hunter comparing a big shot from algeiri to maidana garcia etc. give me a dam break

Not even lol look at the Julio Diaz fight. Decent puncher, but already battle worn and outside of his best weight, and not a top 10 contender. He gave Khan hell in his own country almost beat him and he also put him down. If a Julio Diaz in his last couple of pro fights can do that to Khan, 113-114, 113-115, 112-115 with all UK judges in Sheffield and plus a UK ref, then Khan figures he needs to stay away from the fresher, younger, top 10 fighters who are more than decent punchers, and stay away from rematching anybody who already bested him.

Man, i'm really going to hate seeing Mayweather give Khan a fight in September. Fight Canelo again, Matthysse, Garcia, Brook, Thurman or something. Please not Khan.

A crude, raw Maidana almost killed him. The current Maidana is a noticeably different fighter than the one from 2009-2012. He'd finish the job this time.

Show confidence by fighting someone that can punch for a change.

Are you implying Khan has an "iron chin" or "granite chin"?

not at all, khans chin is trash

but algieri hits harder than what people think, harder than devon

he wasnt sitting on his punches, or planting his feet before, i believe john david jackson when he said chris has a solid right hand, which he never used properly

that ko record will go up under jdj, u wait and see. chris is a big lad, and now he is putting weight behind his shots

once algeiri figures out how to follow up with a combination, he'll drop fighters, his problem in the khan fight was he was throwing a right hand, but not following with anything, because this style of boxing was foreign to him

Like diamond.
