    Lol

    You know its not really his chin imo its his brain or approach once he starts to feel or experience adversity. He's got all the tools in spades along with natural athleticism but he tends to have brain farts during the fight and lose focus and with that his ability to adjust.

    Its just a natural tendency and instinct IMO

    Its not that he doesn't think ... its that he thinks he is something that he is not ... he thinks he's a banger who can trade but his chin won't allow that

    Yup that's part of it. He ends up in situations he has no need to be in. I've been saying for years that his problems are upstairs. Interesting that you called it instinctive because it almost seems like he's stuck in between the fight or flight response during the fight.

    Khan is not without some boxing know how. Solid hand speed and range but his chin and psychology go hand in hand as his achilles heel. Getting tagged and hurt are one thing but he fights with high anxiety, like hes trying to prove something to people or self post Prescott not to mention Garcia. He doesn't strike me as comfortable in his own skin much of the time...stuck between styles and literally does not have the room for error. Even in return with Molina he executed a gameplan but to me he looked over thinking and like a guy walking through a haunted house. Sometimes after getting smashed a guy needs to get out of the spotlight and reset. I don't know if it matters for him at this point because hes obviously not going to reinvent himself or take some off air bouts but a guy only gets so many chances.
