No chin, and chins can't be built, he'll never make it as he's just not Sugar Ray-Leonard and he will get hit.

Not only no chin, but no defence. I think that was the fourth fight where he has been put down. Maybe he is so arrogant he thinks no one can beat him.

With training he could easily improve his defence, and everything else about his boxing skill, but he'll never improve his chin as he clearly can't take a punch, let alone a beating. It's funny how a day after he's on his back Murrays going for The US Open. Hamilton, Khan, Murray, we put too much pressure on our rising stars in this country, ludicrous putting him in with such a big hitter even if it was his choice, shame though.

If Khan wants to be world champ, he must be able to take on all comers. I dont think it matters how strong your chin is, a perfect connection on the jaw will spark someone out.

I don't agree with that, Khan was long over due a step up in class. Just because he didn't prove up to the job he had fought enough average Joe fighters and won enough Mickey Mouse belts to take his chance.
These sportsmen need the pressure to keep them at the top of their game. There's no hiding place for them but it helps them develop, yes some will fall by the way side but others will thrive off it. |

That's true, you look at the heavy weights, one punch and the match is over. Much the same can be said for Khans weight division, you get hit on the sweet spot you'll just blindly walk into more and more punches and have no chance. |

That may be the case, but if Khan gets slapped with a wet fish knowhere near his chin or temple, he's going down, no world champ worth his skin will ever have a chin as visibly weak as his.
Theres pressure and theres British Media pressure, which i've always thought too excessive on sportspersons, especially young, talented ones.

I agree with you GG.
Once the weakness has been exposed, that is it.
I remember Paul Hodgkinson who was succeptable to cuts around his eyes. So every one he fought, just went for his eyes. Was a really good boxer but his face couldnt take it.
Likewise with Khan, everyone now, will just try and lamp his chin in the full knowledge he will go down.
