If Khan had a solid chin ?

[Lefty]

To be honest, I'm not the biggest Khan fan atall, but I wonder whether it could have been a bit more down to the fact he was making it down to Lightweight, making him more vulnerable to a punch. Looking at him last night, I just wonder how he was making that kind of weight. There is no way he makes Lightweight again thats for sure IMO. He looks to be big enough or have the capacity to move to atleast Light Middle.

Maybe the chin issue can be a non issue with his improved conditioning and less struggle to make weight. I don't know, just a thought. Maybe some of the fighters on here could give a better opinion / observation. YoungBlood?? Anyone?

it'll have been that 1% bodyfat. Takes it out of you

Haha, i didn't know he'd said that. Surely that can't be healthy anyway. His body would be eating itself everytime he exercised if his fat was that low, wouldn't it? Ha

Oh dear... I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he's probably had it tested via biometric impedience (little pulse sent round your body) which isn't accurate at the best of times. Stick some Calipers on the boy and I don't see him getting below 7%

[Althugz]

Let's not get it twisted - In terms of skill, he is probably the best thing to come out of the U.K in absolute years.

As far as boxing ability, speed, power goes, he shits on the likes of Hatton, Calzaghe, Eubank, Benn etc.

It's just a shame he is such a nob, has no chin (which is kinda cool considering he is a nob) and his team insists on keeping him away from legit competition. If he is serious about what he said post-fight last night, people will have no choice but to at least respect him for getting in with the best opposition at 140.

[Saddo]

As long as he keeps avoiding anyone with any power he'll do great... the bad news for him and his fans is America isn't as gullable as the UK in regards to standard of opponent.

but yeah if he had a good chin he would be something special... it would be great if it was a weight issue or even him maturing and getting stronger around the whiskers but untill he fights someone with power we'll never know.

i think he's a dick with some of the shit he comes out with but we need kids like him in the sport... people rating him and people not is all good for boxing IMO.

i will continue to enjoy him proving me wrong or watching him getting sparked out... whatever its win win for me...

[Fenster]

If he had a chin he'd be a longtime P4P fighter without doubt.

Most top guys out there only have a punchers chance againt him. Unfortunately for Khan they don't have to punch hard or land a perfect shot to take him

[Spicoli]

I hope he comes stateside more often.Respectfully I think it'll boost his level of competition.Sounds HBO has a keen interest,I thought Bob Papa was in semi fluffer mode lastnight.But even though Paulie can hardly break wind,let alone hit with power...Khan totally shut him down and looked sharp.

[Majesty]

Funniest thing about watching him get knocked out is what the announcer says. He mentions that Khan has this new trainer now, and almost immediately as he says that Khan is stunned and later flattened. All I could think of basically is "Well .. he's fired."
