I have been 
To much focus on the negatives at present. This is a boxing forum and we of all people should be capable of getting past all the talk and hype and see things the way they are. Amir is 20 years old with ten fights under his belt and a fringe title. He has been brought along no different to many other prospects and is doing well. These concerns over his chin keep circling like vultures and will not go away until someone gets the chance to say I told you so. Personally I dont see a problem with his chin at present and I dont know why anyone else would. Has he been out on his feet in any fights? Its no good saying "he will be in trouble when he fights a big puncher" Just about everyone is in trouble when they face a big puncher, its how they deal with them that counts, my money says that Amir deals with them far more sensibly than he does the Drilzanes of the world
