    Is Khan's chin that bad?

    Khan has often been said to have a glass jaw, but does he really, or is it just below-average? He took punches from Maidana and never went down, and Canelo and Prescott are hard punchers.

        Of course you don't want to kick him while he's down, you run the risk of a serious leg injury doing all that kicking.

              From a ranking of A to F, I'd honestly give it a D+. Khan did do very well against Maidana, and IMO he was able to survive because he wasn't caught with anything significant until very late. Maidana was completely gassed by that point.

                Yeah Khan’s chin is bad. He has heart though but his chin let’s it down all the time. Anyone who is seen as having anything even slightly around better than average punching power can hurt/drop him.

                Yes this is boxing and any human on the planet can go down and get hurt by a blow to the head, but some are subject to it more than others; Khan is among them.

                Some people find that moving up in weight helps with the absorption of head blows and the maturity of going from a younger to a more experienced fighter seems to help in some cases too, but Khan seems to have been vulnerable to being hurt at any time and any weight in his career.

                  He was out on his feet against Chino
                  Arizas DMAA shakes kept him alive
                  Khan has a week Chin and also almost no anticipation of the opponent
                  He barely sees counterpunches thrown at him
