No, even if he had a rock solid chin he would get KOed by good punchers. He gets to lazy, gets hit wit to much for having the speed he has. It's attributed to his horrible footwork. He relies to much on his had speed and not enough on the foot movement.
I can not believe that he is getting a chance to fight Pacquiao in the UAE. Khan has gotten so much undeserved big fights. I really don't understand it.

Khan is so overrated it is sickening, he is not some master boxer nor does he possess a high boxing IQ. He fights well early and then fades in later rounds kinda like Judah.

No. He still has a lot of limitations as a boxer. And even if he had a better chin, I don't know if he could have taken those counters for Danny Garcia for a full 12 rounds.
Honestly, his chinniness is not as much of a problem as his lack of intelligence in the pocket. He just doesn't anticipate shots well enough, doesn't have a good sense of distance, and doesn't have an in-built habit of slipping a shot after he counters.
Look at how Thurman kept slipping under Garcia's counters. Khan doesn't have the discipline to do that. And unless you have a James Toney like sixth sense where you always know what's coming, you're going to get caught flush when you don't do that.
