Khan: "I killed myself making 135 lbs, I have never been dropped/hurt/wobbled @ 140"

[The_Demon]

Dont get me wrong his chin will always be suspect and that will be everyones concern when he fights a puncher,but it clearly has improved in the move up in weight

LOL Cotto said this same bull**** about 140

[-Lowkey-]

But 5lbs is barely anything, and it ouldn't make the difference between being chinny or not.

you are as wrong as can be 5lbs can be a big difference in boxing especially in lighter weight classes anyone with any boxing iq at all will tell you this. Just an example when Mayweather didnt bother making the catch weight for the Marquez fight that was because Mayweather thought hurting his body to make a weight he is uncomfortable with would effect his performance and that was only what 3lbs

[-Lowkey-]

LOL Cotto said this same bull**** about 140

yes and it proved to be true

Cottos chin at 147 was/is way better than it was at 140

[talz]

You do know when Amir Khan or any other boxer spars they have their chin protected by a head guard right?



I'm not saying it hasn't improved, but to say your chin has improved when it hasn't been tested by some real power is ludicrous.

How about this eh? Khan getting floored with headgear on:



Then you see Khan sparring at 140 against pacman taking all sorts of shots:



5 pounds does make a huge difference btw when your in the lighter division, especially when your 5'10. One more thing, everytime khan has been hurt its been by a Hook to the TEMPLE and not to the chin. Gomez, limmond, prescott hurt khan with a hook to the temple.
