Now hes past the part where a jab would shake the kids legs but still u never know what a shot can do, hypothetically speaking with if Khan had Erik's chin how much would that of changed his confidence, would he have gotten cocky in the ring?

further than he will get with the chin he has got !
Him having morales' chin doesnt mean guaranteed success.
Khan has a decent chin.
ive been watching his stuff and he can really let his punches go, but i keep thinking though that he also holds back alil i guess thats a good thing to be careful i suppose
It takes a well connected punch to his chin/jaw to have him change from boxer mode to survival mode.
He boxes well, has good reach, speed, corner, etc. Having a granite chin like prime Morales, Chavez, etc. would be the icing on the cake.
agree fully here, if he had a Morales like chin he wouldn't get get shook up as much and wouldn't bottle up like he does, but IMO it doesn't necessarily mean it would help him fully, part of why Morales' was considered to be so tough and have a rock chin was because he would get hit with bombs and come right back at you, it also was mental strength, I don't think Khan would react the same and would still be a bit timid (not as much as now) and choose to back up and box moreQuote:

Khan has a decent chin but what if he had Hearns right hand, speed of leonard, skill of SRR?
OK wait I got it...
Khan with prime Morales chin, Ali footwork, Arguellos right hand, Finitos style and Monzons hair style... :cool:
Yet he'll still find a way to loseQuote:

Just admit it, you love him ;)
he'd go all the way.
He's always been hurt with shots that have hit him high on the head, rather than shots that have hit him on the chin.
no secret I dislike Khan but he is blessed with talent no doubt about that
With a decent chin he would have it all and limitless potential. His chin guarantees uncertainty - and with that excitement in every fight he has so appeals to the masses.
A puncher is the only type of fighter who will beat Khan - he has beaten the danger man of the division in Maidana. Bradley will be kids play
You are right the first shot that wobbled him from Prescott was high on the temple and he tried to get up too quickly. I don't think he would have progressed so quickly without this loss though. He could still go far, and certainly up another 1 or 2 divisions.He has progressed well under Roach and passed every test put in front of him.Quote:
