I don't think butes chin is bad and is good enough to be an elite fighter I mean its not like froch landed one and bute was gone, he ate some solid punches over five rounds. He needs to adjust his style tho to not take so many, and to adjust when someone is just walking thru his like froch did...
You could tell he was really hurting though when he was taking the punches , he really did slow down and by the 5th round he was taking far too much leather. You can say the same for Khan though, because he did get back up and fought on after that big left hook. But as soon as a big punch landed like the Bute-Froch fight, it was pretty clear who the victor was going to be in both fights.
