I still think it's not Khan's chin that's in question but his neck.
Prescott's shot landed squarely on the side of the neck, and Khan went stiff.
Maidana never got that close, and Khan weathered that fight surprisingly well.
Garcia's shots caused Khan's neck to go scary at points.
Algieri had range and used it with effective aggression, Khan wasn't able to avoid getting hit as well against a rangy fighter. I don't think they trained for that Algieri; they trained for the one that faced Provodnikov - a big mistake.
Khan's effective enough at counterpunching that I feel the fight would have gone largely identical to MayPac with the exception of greater punch output.
