More weight and a thicker neck help, yes. Also if a fighter has been draining himself to make weight he can be knocked out easier. So moving up helps them. I don't think this will be the case for Khan though. He looks like he just has a naturally small head.

The fact Khan admitted that he had to persuade virgil hunter to get on board with this fight is proof that he did not think its a winnable fight for khan, khan probs said im taking the fight anyway and virgils getting his % cut of the big pay day so no point in causing a fuss over it. If khan had a solid chin at the lower weights then this fight would actually have been a good match up. Think Canelo toys with khan in the early stages, lets him win a few rounds and 2nd half of fight goes in for the kill.

I'm thinking at 60 to 1, Canelo might play with Khan all night and lose a very unpopular decision, but the house wins. Demands for a rematch will follow, tuneups... GGWho?

Serious question, does added weight affect your chin...with a thicker, meatier neck perhaps it'll be harder to swivel the chin enough to rattle the brain

A few guys chins got better with more weight.

Cotto's chin was a lot better at 147 than 140, 140 it was pretty shakey and he was rocked bad by torres. I know he was stopped by pac/margo but those were sustained beatings so actually I think he showed a good jaw there.

Foreman and Ali both went from being dropped multiple times in their early years to having iron jaws in their comebacks, the weight completely changed their chin.

I dont think this is going to be the case for khan though, hes got that lanky build like corrales and hes still been hurt at 147 by very low quality fighters.

no khan, you have the elite neck, infinite weight is your division. TRUST ME. if khan goes to heavy, his neck will be so thick and fat that even FLATINE will be afraid to put his lips on it. believe what i say, khan is ready to just pulverize anyone. i have no morsel of a god damn doubt. khan at heavy will just stand there, take punches on his elite heavyweight neck, and then knock everyone out. KHAN IS UNDEFEATABLE. king khan is just gonna grab you by the neck and disrupt your life. it doesnt matter who you are or how hard you clench your teeth in anger to convince yourself he isnt the truth.

1 punch on tommy hearns? finito.
1 punch on ricardo lopez? dead dead dead.


khan is the supreme human AND.....his ding dong is bigger than canelo's.
most of you are clowns.

60/1? Odds are around 5/2 for Khan to win.

Khan keep Britain out of it you are just a total embarrassment, if you can't take a punch at lightweight you are completely deluded if you think you can take a punch of a true middleweight and I don't mean a fighter like Canelo that calls himself a middleweight champion but dare not fight at middleweight .
When you get hammered by a decent super welterweight , Canelo, I'm sure you'll be squawking on about your true weight being at super middle .Khan you're a clown and Canelo for making this fight is not that far behind you.

Khan looks like a taxi with it's doors open.
You'd think he wouldn't miss much with them tabs but hey !
