Do Amir Khan and Lennox Lewis have bad chins?

[Chrismart]

Lewis has a good chin IMO. Khan's is shakey for sure.

khan is way worse, hes been hurt multiple multiple times.

Lennox just has two KO losses, at heavy where being unprepared and coming in out of shape can get you one of those regardless of chin.

Khan has intentionally avoided punchers since his loss to Garcia like 5 years ago. Lennox never avoided punchers and had been in with many big ones and came out unscathed.

The thing to bear in mind with Khan is that it's his recovery that sucks. He has taken plenty of big shots (the shots that drop him are almost always bombs) but he just takes ages to recover.

The big shots Khan was caught has been caught with would have wobbled most top level fighters. But most of the other fighters would have got their legs back in a fraction of the time.

I remember the Garcia fight, where he got floored in the third round. He got dropped and rocked moments into the 4th round. He was also all over the place in the later rounds of the Maidana fight.

The problem with Khan is when he gets hurt, he STAYS hurt.

I would say Khan has poor punch resistance, rather than a weak chin.

Lewis has a decent chin for a heavyweight champion. Khan has a weak chin at the championship level. You seem to be hand picking fights and trying to make Khan's chin look as good or better than Lewis's chin. Lewis had a much better chin than Khan. Lewis is an all time great and Khan will never be close to an all time great. Lewis spent many years at the world champion level. He was in many wars with good punchers like Tyson, Vitali, and Holyfield and his chin held up. He just got caught with a perfect shot in the right place in his two KO losses and he avenged both losses. Khan was almost KOed by Maidana even though Maidana never landed a real Sunday punch on him. The ref clearly helped Khan survive by breaking the fighters when they weren't tied up. Khan gets hurt often by low level guys that aren't punchers. Prescott isn't a champion level guy. Khan never avenged his two KO defeats the way Lewis did.

Khan always fights back when he gets hurt, he doesn't clinch or anything.
