    khan throws fast combos but the way he throws them reminds me of calslapper :good, never the less he is fast indeed.

    no he would get recognition if he would win any of these fight but I don't think he can

    what part don't you understand?
    he is way to predictable in what he does, no one gives a **** about lightning speed flurries when any decent boxer can just put the gloves up and back up one step; from round 5-6 he slows down considerably and relies on slow punches because his stamina for the fast shots is gone and that is the moment when his only offensive asset is gone and soon he is gone from ring too because he has no defense and chin

    If only Khan had greater power

    Granted even if his chin remained less then stellar that insane speed with power would have been really fun to watch

    Khan's fast but he's feather fisted. It would be embarrassing if he ever got in the same ring as Pacquiao.

    Prescott made khan shut down neurologically with one punch ... what you mean never happened to khan? He was even flopping around big seizure style.
    Pac puts him in a coma.

    From what I have seen they use their speed in different ways:

    Pac - He is still crazy fast, especially when you consider that he sits on almost all his punches. He is not a powerful WW puncher but when you combine speed with him turning over those, you get a flurry of shots that hurt.

    Khan - is faster...but he'll choose usually one random punch within the combo to sit on, almost like a change up. (Like the combo that sat Maidana down. He put some stuff on that left to the liver)

    khans rangier aswell, longer arms. more whip, or pacmans compact flurries look quicker. dno

    khan has power, it may not be one punch ko power but he beats you up, I think he has them 'stinging' punches. accumulation.

    That body shot vs Maidana wow.

    Khan kept getting back up though. laugh at his chin all you want but his heart is second to none.

    Khan always looks out of position after throwing his combos. Whereas Pacquiao can throw combos and sit on them afterwards.

    In other words Khan is faster but he can't fully control his own speed.

    Khan is faster. Pacs short arms add to the illusion of speed.
