"John Breen predicts ‘Temple of Doom’ for Amir Khan"

David Haye's the same, but I'm sure a lot of people use the word 'chin' as a euphemism to how a fighter can take a shot. If a fighter's hit on the temple and on dodgy legs, like Enzo Macc, I say he's got a bad chin even though his actual chin maybe pretty sturdy.

Am I alone?

No I pretty much think about it the same way.

There also seems to be a distinction between having a bad chin and having low punch resistance. Some fighters like Floyd Patterson or more recently Brian Magee seem to get decked fairly easily but get up relatively clearheaded multiple times.

Calzaghe is another, hits the deck like a sack-o-spuds and raises as if the rounds just started. Bellew another example?

Good article, Leonard but Paul McCloskey, 22-1(12 KO)?

Khan wins with ease.

Is that his tag-team partner or a PED?
