Yeah I'm inclined to agree.. I think Khan has tremendous ability, he is super fast, has the potential to be a great offensive fighter(technically). But his chin is proving to be basically garbage. It doesn't matter what kind of combinations he's capable of putting together if the first decent looping shot that lands upstairs is going to hurt him.. And if Michael Gomez can land numerous telling blows and hurt Khan on multiple occasions, I just can't see a top lightweight not taking that advantage. Having said all that, I think Khans best shot at being a world champ anytime soon would indeed be to catch Casamayor when he's slipped even further.. But then again people said Gomez had been shot for years, when he was never anything special to begin with. I really wouldn't feel confident picking Khan over just about anyone who can punch for shit.
