    Hamed - Faster overall, more power, solid chin, better reflexes and better foot movement
    Khan - Faster hand speed, great jab, very good stamina, good height/reach, better coach and better dedication

    Hamed was clearly the more talented of boxers, it's just a big shame he quit after his loss aginst Barerra. I guess when a boxer loses his hunger for the sport then it's better to quit.

    Barerra. And he did fight one more time against Calvo.

    Khan seems to be the better rounded fighter because hes more orthodox, has freddie roach and is more disciplined as a fighter. I still feel though that Hamed was the brighter spark. A real shame he left the sport so prematurely

    Hamed tkos Khan 100 out of 100 times

    Hamed not only outboxes and tko's you but he humiliates you as well.

    Sorry Barerra :p

    Although some people may get their panties in a twist but i think Nas was as gifted as Pacquaio was. The difference being Pac was more hungry and dedicated to the sport than Nas.

    I wonder what would have happened to Nas if he went to Freddie Roach?

    This thread is like comparing Wladimir and Haye. Some times being flashy does not work and solid boxing skill and speed does.

    why are people saying he would knock out khan
    its like saying arthur abraham would knock out wlad because wlad has a weak chin.

    I don't think you can say, because Kahn is clearly improving with every fight.

    Hamed would eventually catch Khan and Knock him out.
