Not really making a point here just thought it was a good read.

The article totally ignores the fact that Kahn has been dropped/ wobbled on several other occasions besides the Prescott fight and by guys that wern't noted punchers at 135.

They are delusional if they don't believe Khan has a bad chin.

I think the Gomez knockdown was the worst.
That was a short, cuffing shot with nothing on it and it put him down, incredibly bad punch resistance shown there.

Me too. Kahn was waiting for a punch to come, had his legs totally under him and still got floored badly.
Nah, Limond was the worst. Good shot or not, Limond is featherfisted in the true sense of the word and Khan was down for 12 seconds.

It was the worst. Be fair, though, Khan was reacting to the ref's count. He could have got up far earlier.

.... and still got floored badly.
He went down but I would hardly call it "badly", a cuffing shot that was more embarrassing than hurtful.

I think Khan's more vulnerable to shots to the temple moreso than the chin.

When he got up he was grinning gormlessly and his legs were like a newborn deers. Much worse than the Limond KD where he was waiting for the ref to tell him to get up.

Are you sure?

I thought Khan was hurt more from the bodyshot than the knockdown in the Gomez fight

"New born deer" was an exgeration but he was very unsteady and, like I say, I think it was a worse knockdown than the Limond one IMHO.

i firmly believe khans chin will improve as he goes up in weight, examples of this are de la hoya, pacman and cotto, the fact that khan was still 3 pounds over the light welter limit just the other day shows you how much it took out of him to reach the lightweight limit
