    Remember those arm flurries that he threw against Collazo and Alexander? The ones some people raved about?

    Those are what gets Khan into trouble.Those average opponents get hit with those shots, the higher level guys time those shots and catch Khan with his hands out of position.

    A good chin would see him last a little longer, but his lack of IQ and sloppy punches would still see him knocked out.

      If he had a granite chin like a true granite chin which can take full flush shots then he'd obviously be unbeatable. The problem is not that, its his lack of concentration and moments of poor ring IQ. You rarely ever see top Elite fighters get hit so flush like Khan has time and time again. He has some deep flaws that need addressing but that takes time.

          that shot would have floored any WW, he could have had a iron jaw, same result

          you drop your hands like that, and give that kind of space to Canelo, it's lights out

          he was taking all the other shots well, but he saw them coming, and his hands were up for the most part

          its the one you don't see coming

              The fact his chin is piss poor just seems unfair.
              Yep. Pretty much he would just lose some of the fights he was stopped in by decision instead, or get knocked out later from eating too many hard counters.

              Khan's chin is far from his only problem. It's a shame no one taught him what to do with all that speed besides throw punches fast.

                How much time does he need?

                First time he got sparked out was 2008 we are now in 2016 he's been sparked out twice since and had 3 trainers since.

                  A good chin would not have saved him last night. That punch was so devastating that even the best chins ever like LaMotta and Chavez would have gone down. It was vicious

                    I can't believe Khan's defense is STILL as bad as it was last night.

                    He just never learns. That's his problem, not his chin.

                      I was arguing with someone in another thread claiming all he has to do is learn basic head movement. My stance is it's too late for him to do any of that. That's what he knows, and what he'll always revert to.
