No matter who trains Khan, he is always going to be vulnerable, he just cannot help himself leaving his chin sticking out -= he fights too tall and with his head held high like a kid who just got bought a toffee apple. It's never going to change, there will always be moments when he does that. Always.
That's why he's always in good fights, whereas Lara and Mayweather are dull as dishwater.
Yeah, but getting KTFO isn't good for business.

Drop back down to 140 and see if he can beat Garcia. He might just pull it off, but can just as easily see a repeat.

It's very hard to go 12 whole rounds without presenting an opportunity, and when you've not got the best chin, that only leads to one result.
He doesnt only present an opportunity either. He gets hit with them too, huge shots.

Everybody has a plan till they get banged on the chin.
True!

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” - Mike Tyson

The guys at 140 hit slightly less hard. But enough to put Khan on the floor, as Garcia did. The only difference is that Khan is just about able to get back up. At 155, he is completely KTFO.

I like Khan and his come forward style but his weaknesses are huge.

In this case he has been financially rewarded for getting KOed. He had no chance of beating Canelo. He went up for the money, not for glory as his propaganda tells you. If he wanted glory he would have taken on Brook and Thurman and try to unify the division, not a no win fight for a mega buck. And he took some of you geniuses for a ride. Coming here and telling me how he is going to take Canelos best punches because he has never been truly hurt before. :lol:
Aye right. I've not seen anyone on here say he would take the shots. The large majority expected him to get ktfo

There were few odd posts abut his chin and a large consensus about Khans remarkable bravery.

75% of those who voted in this poll expected him to get ko'd. 37% called rounds 5/6 (i didn't call the rounds ) so I guess there are a few geniuses on the site now you mention it.

Well done the 75% and kudos to the 37%

Well....got that one wrong!

I thought Amir boxed well through those first 5 rounds, but it was a superb shot by Canelo, and he was classy afterwards in not celebrating while Amir was down.

You could see Canelo gradually closing down the range, the end was as inevitable as bum gravy after 20 pints of scrumpy.

I still don't know how so many people could think that Khan wouldn't come unstuck eventually.
