Khans Chin

[Fatsandman]

After watching Breidis Prescott throw shots at Toledo (a man who'd already been KO'd in the 1st and 3rd rounds previously) for 10 rounds on friday night without ever seemingly hurting him you really do have to wonder about Amir Khans chin. Khan must have watched that fight and wondered if it was safe for him to even brush his teeth that night in case he accidentally knocked himself out!

Khan was lucky enough to get a shot against Barrera (on the back of a 1st round KO loss!!) with the winner of Diaz v Marquez as his appetizer!

I'd much rather see Prescott against those three than Amir. If Marquez wins on saturday (and I think he will just about edge it) he will absolutely destroy Khan!

I'm really not putting Khan down (a gentle breeze could do that job for me) but he really has to get his punch resistance proven before being offered these shots on the back of such a devastating loss..

this might be a funny thread

khans chin want last long as a professional, he will need it in a cast after barerra fight.

I haven't seen the fight from weekend yet but there has never been any doubt that Khan's chin is SHITE!

Prescott beat the shit out of Toledo (who ended up getting all Dracula on Brieidis)!

Hey, maybe Toledo can fight the winner of Diaz v Marquez!! Maybe thats the whole point of boxing these days.. To piss off Prescott!

[Fatsandman]

....Actually maybe Toledo SHOULD fight the Diaz/Marquez winner instead of Khan!! He comes to fight, he's got a chin and he doesn't fold like a stack of penny's when the wind changes direction!

Toledo though did what Khan should have & made sure he protected his head from Prescott's shots in the early round, always making sure he didn't get caught clean. If Toledo had fought how he did against Lamont Peterson against Prescott he would have been gone in a minute or so aswell. Khan's chin is pretty terrible, although I think the way his body was structured prior to joining up with Roach was terrible. He basically had no support because his legs were too weak & that was one of the first things the guys at Wild Card got sorted. He still has a pretty weak chin, but personally I'm not sure its quite as bad as people are making out.

I actually think that Amir has a great chance of beating Barrera. He'll probably use his legs and jab Marco's head off for 12 rounds (theres a 4-5 inch height difference isn't there?) but can't see him doing the same when he comes up against Marquez's slick skills or Diaz's speed...

Khan has fought since and had an easy win since being KO'd by Prescott.

And Toledo is a rugged guy. And apparently a biter.

4" in height, 2" reach.

Anyone want to fess up and claim Khan's new name?

I wondered about the Prescott fight. I remember the pre-fight interview and it became evident to me that something was wrong. Even my dad looked at me and said 'something aint right there'... Kahn looked terrible.

I believe he was fasting so that could explain why his punch resistance was even worse than it normally is - which is pretty poor by anyone's standards.

There are so many variables that can deem whether a punch has knockout power so the fact that Prescott couldn't KO a guy who had previously been ko'd by supposed lesser punchers, doesn't mean that much to me.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

he chose to box whilst fasting? That's just stupid and if true he deserved to get ko'd.

no i think it was to do with Prescot having a all be it smoke and mirrors KO %.

Khan had been fed non punchers for too long in his learning proccess IMO

[Saddo]

didn't that heavyweight prizefighter winner ((can't remember his name offhand)) just beat Harrison? now he would be a better fight for Haye IMO


EDIT: how embarrising wrong thread.
