Its actually amazing khan got as far as he did in this sport. The guy cant take a punch at 135,140,147,154, etc. I remember when he moved up from 35 to 40 his legs were supposed to be sturdier because of the added weight...NOPE!!! and Then a few years later some pics leaked of him working out on some weird neck training machine, this was also supposed to help his chin/punch resistance....NOPEEEEE!! This man simply doesnt have a chin, hell even algieri buckled khan with a right hand before. Khan will shine and look amazing only against certain fighters (judah,paulie,alexander). He has to be matched up perfectly because of his fragile jaw. He does have heart though ill give him that but khan should retire though. Maybe he could be a UK boxing analyst, Sorry khantards.
Sorry Khantards but Boxing just isnt for Amir

it isn't just his chin, he isn't smart enough to follow up a game plan. and his defense is bad, lately it only consisted in clinching a lot -
This pretty much sums it up. Weak chin and/or lack of discipline undoes Khan every time.
Also I think "khantards" could use some work. Maybe try calling them "khants" instead.Comment

Lets say even if he did follow a game plan to an absolute Tee...at some point in the fight there will be an exchange and he will get clipped.Comment

This.
He does follow a plan well for 3 or 4 rounds and then gets overconfident if he was more diseplaned he could hide his weakness betterComment

His defense is lacking, I don't think it's his chin. That punch Canelo landed would have floored anybody. It landed right on the button. But that's the problem with Khan. He gets hit flush with hard punches far too often. The Prescott KO was a clean left hook right on the chin. The Garcia KO was a wind up clean hit right on the chin/neck, and the Canelo punch landed perfectly right on the chin. If you watch that replays of all those KO's, Khan's hands are way down by his waist when he gets hit. He has poor fundamentals and I'm not sure anyone can change that.
But offensively he's good enough to give most fighters problems. He should stick around for at least one more payday.Comment

i still don't know what is he was doing with his hands at the time of the KO, seriously. canelo does a good feint with the left and khan has both hands in the same direction.Comment
