    He should of also mentioned he has a chin that would likely get him knocked out

    ? He's the fastest I've ever seen. Faster than Hector Camacho, faster than Meldrick Taylor, everyone knows he's actually faster than Pacquiao btw.
    Danny Garcia even said in the first few rounds he was taken back at how fast Amir was.

    Speed want be enough. He doesn't have the ring IQ or skill level. Plus he doesn't use a jab like he should. Khan being rangy and fast should have a jab that rivals Holmes. That should be his best punch but the sad thing is he falls in when he jabs and will get caught with a right hand and knocked the **** out.

    I must confess I was wrong about Khan. I don't know how he tricked me. Maybe he's just not like before, though his IQ is low.

    If khan can beat Alexander and make it a unification fight I'd be interested.

    More likely is he pays the sanctioning fees, becomes a mandatory and claims he's being ducked.

    Either way he presents less of a challenge then Guerrero and that's saying something.

    Speed isnt enough to beat Mayweather. Floyd would nail him with right hands and KO Khan

    He does have the speed to beat Mayweather. But, however, he doesn't have the punch resistance, ring IQ or defense to go with it. Speed alone isn't enough.

    Also, his offence has suffered in my opinion since he has been with Hunter, he is caught with two styles at the moment

    He does.

    He just lacks the defense, chin, and overall ring smarts.
