    You don't need combos. Algieri was hitting him with hooks and rights.

    So? So Floyd's Paul Williams-esque output is going to cause Khan problems?

    He's going to lower Khan's work rate by countering Khan.

    Hitting Khan after his little shoeshine flurries.

    Floyd had trouble with Maidana throwing combos... Khan is at least x3 faster.

    There's a reason - that, even after Khan would the poll on Floyd's own website - that Floyd won't face Khan. His speed would cause him fits.

    Again, Khan is fast, but that's about it.

    What happens when Floyd negates it with timing?

    Nothing.

    Floyd won't KO him.

    Also doesn't have the output to make Amir think twice.

    Khan has the speed AND output to trouble Floyd - A LOT.

    You lower output with counters.

    You negate speed with timing.

    Did you learn this after asking about it in the training section?

    I know how it works. But if you keep on getting hit because the person hitting you is TOO FAST, then what do you do?

    Khan didn't even look that fast against Algieri.

    And Khan is also predictable.

    :deal Happens too often. Yes, styles make fights, but the gulf in quality is just huge. We're talking about a light welterweight that's done ****** all but chase money in a weight class where the top competition is just miles ahead of him.

    Brook would flatten this idiot, and Mayweather would make him look foolish.

    Khan has fast hands but no one ever talks about Floyds speed. Floyd also makes Khan look flat footed. If he isn't in position then he isn't going to land. Just because someone has hand speed doesn't mean he's going to land punches.
