    Its not like his chin is the only problem his blazing handspeed masques an awful lot of flaws. At least for 4-5 rounds until he slows and fighters start finding their range, timing and reading him better.

    He has defensive flaws, a low ring I.Q and slows drastically after 4-5 rounds in every fight.

    Green k,,,, couldn't have said it better myself

      If Khan had a solid chin he'd still have the same losses on his resume and very likely in the same fashion.

        Now if Jorge Linares had a chin, that's at least a more interesting what if.

          Contrary to popular belief Khan's chin isn't the reason he is losing. He makes a multitude of technical mistakes that lead to him getting hit cleanly. Mother****er drops his right hand WHENEVER he throws a jab.

            People should stop believing that khan is like a master boxer or something. He aint that technical, he has low IQ. He has physical talents, speed, good range and has height. But other than that hes not maximizing most of them. Hes not throwing amazing feints, his footwork sucks, doesnt have a good jab when he easily shouldve. No overhand rights, when speedsters could do that. Doesnt fight tall. Doesnt use his range well. He has a lot of flaws.

            Maybe he'd be able to get away with his mistakes if he has a solid chin. But doesnt mean he aint losin.
            Hes already delusional without his chin, If he has maybe hed be fighting golovkin too lol

              Precisely.. it isnt his chin that is getting him beat. I actually think his chin is decent.

              It is the fundamental flaws that are leaving him vulnerable to flush shots. Khan gets hit with the cleanest punches that he dont see coming which are the worst. Shots that can knock out anybody. That isnt no indicator of him having a glass chin.

              He is just a sloppy fighter imo.

                About the same, tbh.

                The chin/punch resistance is definitely Amir Khan's fatal flaw, but that still doesn't change the reality that Khan's concentration seems to go to **** after 3-4 rounds.

                Even with a chin, Khan would still rush in in obvious patterns on the front end, linger too long after his combo, and not have all that much variety in his style.

                  its not his chin, its his arrogance. solid chins can still be knocked down. 10-8 rd. hes not exactly bashing people in so his claim of power is overstated. fast hands, yeah. small brain, hell yeah.

                    His defense would still be bad, so no he wouldn't be undefeated.

                      Khan is sorta like Judah. Quickfisted but a predictable front runner..
