ffs doesnt matter if overall he is a better puncher. you are ignoring the fact canelo through pretty much the perfect punch

The Liam Smith fight might still be an option for Khan but really he should look at 147.

ffs and im not spelling stuff right

Of course the quality of the chin of the fighter you are fighting matters.

all that gym work and bulking up for months

just to get pole axed as brutally as he would have at 147lbs

you cant put muscles on your chin..as everyone knows

Didn't really bulk up a lot.

He doesn't have the chin for that game. If you load up you are easier to hit.

Well he has to change his game up somehow because 3 KOs in his last 8 suggests he can't hack it against the big names

You can put them on your neck and traps though

You think Khan would have prepared for that punch as it Canelo's favourite

Only the gullable thought Khan going up in weight would "improve" his chin
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It did improve his chin, but you also fighting guys that can hit much harder

He bulked up 10-15 pounds

Quite a fair bit of that was clearly fat as well from the looks of his physique

A bodybuilder could gain that weight in 2-3 months

Canelo timed it perfectly. You can prepare all you want for a punch but if the other guy throws it well, you can't do anything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't put yourself in that position, you keep your chin tucked in at all times, and you watch for cues

Muscles don't win you fights. Skills do.

Pretty sure Canelo's muscles helped with that KO

What muscles? It was a tell timed shot. You don't have to be a bodybuilder to knock some one out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You need muscles though.

Do you think Paulie could knock out Hagler even if he had the perfect technique?

It not about defensibly. It was about having the concentrations, the belief when things got tough, and the stamina to carry out the game plan
