Amir Khan's chin

[Vendettos]

People forget Khan was rocked at lightweight...

I give Amir respect for stopping Judah... well, controversially.

He wasn't rocked, he was knocked out.

Av warmed to khan recently.think he's a gd fighter and exciting to watch just some times his arrogance is really fucking annoying.regarding his chIn he's defo chinny he's tried to prove otherwise over recent years since the presscot fight and paid the price against Garcia.there's also proof ov this when he fought willie limmond when he got about a minute to recover and he was down against Gomez aswell albeit early in his career.

What chin?

[Dia bando]

Khan is one of them fighters, that you no is vulnerable which in turn makes him entertaining
to watch.! He can out box just about anybody, but when he gets hit on that chin his legs turn
to jelly, he doe's his little chicken dance then it's do or die.!
So is he a bad fighter NO, just a bit vulnerable that's all.

I really don't think its Khans chin but rather his brain. Its the whenhe gets hit not the where. As mentioned he has taken bombs but its when things are not going his way and the opponent takes his big shots where he starts to mentally unravel. Standing straight up and moving straight back hands low or stepping into the booth when there is no need to.

That's sounds a lot like Bruno.

After watching tonight's fight, it shows khan has no chin, but plenty of heart. Why can't he just fight on the outside with his speed and movement? Would make his fights do much easier for himself

Yup. He should just stay on the outside, run and counter-punch. That's his style and THEE style for chinny guys!

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Khan will protect his chin and be less reckless when boxing following the strict instructions from his new trainer. Khan did take the bombs of Maidana, both Prescott and Garcia can punch so there is no shame in getting knocked out by these guys. He just has to stop getting hit in the first place.

Once you get clocked your natural fighting instincts come out, it's happened to every fighter that has tried to overhaul their style, under pressure and under fire is where the cracks show.

I didn't like him being a gob shyte saying things like he would beat mayweather over 4 rounds when he first turned pro and he's not matured at all

Give him time he is only 26.

that better be a joke

[KickMuck]

I have come to the decision after watching Amir fight again that his timing is his problem offensively and defensive. So many time's he juts forward and throws a left or two then follows up with a right then another left ...over and over again and its so predictable ...he does this in all his fights and for opponents who can get past the speed of it, its easy to work him out and counter
If Khan used his speed to his advantage and picked shots in an unpredictable manner and back off then wait for the next opportunity bob in and out, not get carried away he would be lethal, If he went into a fight to win on points he would..easy.. But he chooses to hang..Its as though he is a fighter gifted with speed and agility but ends up getting into an unnecessary brawl.
He also never feints..If he faints and learns to do it properly he would be more effective , he never seems to do it...with the speed he can punch using feints he could have opposition on edge big time ..Doesn't do it ..why?

I think Freddie saw Khan and thought 'with the right training this guy could be Dynamite'...

But Amir doesn't listen. In fact he still fights like he did when he first went pro

[IamInuit]

Enough with the weak chin already. He got dropped by a nice shot and got buzzed with a few more because he was stupid. Just like any other time he was floored. He absorbed the same shots easily when he was in position. He's his own worst enemy. He even started going in the wrong direction and walking into the hook. Superstar talent. Truck driver brain.

[Dia bando]

Remember Willie Limond, writing was on the wall when Willie dropped him, Khan is what he is
a good sound boxer with a poor chin. Khan never has or will have a granite chin, lets not kid
our self's.!

[erics44]

he was a better fighter with roach

waists too much energy now which zaps more strength from his chin

he should go back to covering up a bit rather than trying to get out of the way every time

[Mark TKO]

Entertaining fight again. Khan had won on scorecards we all knew that but once again its one of those fights where he won UD but the other guy kind of got the better of him if you know what I mean.

All opponents know they have a chance and I can't see Khan ever having an easy fight ever again ! Unless he risks a Salita rematch of course


Box office gold and we all know it
