    Floyd has far faster hands than Khan, he just doesn't throw stupid combos. Mayweather also has an excellent chin, awesome defence and above all a brilliant boxing brain. In short he has everything Khan has, and everything he lacks.

    Mayweather can take flush shots. Khan was nearly floored by on of the very few punches Barrera landed. Eventually he will get hit on the chin again and when he does he will get ko'd. It's a shame really coz his chin aside he seems to tick every other box.

    Yeah well the key word in title I wrote is 'CAN' not 'IS' untouchable. I feel Roach will in time make him a real star, but I guess only time will tell.

    No way Khan has faster handspeed.

    Exactly. Toney, Mayweather, Hopkins and Wright are all considered defensive maestros but all would have been ktfo on several occasions if they didn't have decent chins. EVERY fighter will get hit. Whitaker, Pep, Mayweather, whoever. You simply cannot really on not getting punched, it will happen consistently.

    It's a flashy TITLE, of course you get hit but you can keep it to maybe a few times in a fight.

    It doesn't matter. All that needs to happen is for him to go in with someone who is prepared to take his punches to land their own and he will be brutally ko'd again. I'm not a Khan hater and genuinely wish him all the best but the kid has major flaws and people need to see the reality of his situations.

    When Mayweather was at 135 his handspeed was quite noticeably faster than Khan's.

    I disagree, even Roach said Khan is faster than Manny and he is a natural Feather.

    Over the course of a 12 round fight the average fighter is gonna be punched around a hundred times. Realistically can you see Khan standing up to this? We've seen him rocked by jabs in the opening seconds and on the verge of being knocked out by non punchers before the half way stage, get in the real world mate.

    LOL how many times a top fighter like Floyd get hit in a fight? Khan is 22, in about 2/3 years when he is getting close to peak what will he be like?

    you are talking crap there my friend every time MAB landed a punch to Khan's body he took a backwards step and you could see he was uncomfortable. When Khan fights a fighter who is in his prim, a natural LW who is an elite fighter he will be exposed. I do not care who you are every fighter will get tagged in a title fight and that goes for Khan and what happens when he gets tagged it will be lights out for Khan. I strongly believe that if MAB had not been cut that he would of won the fight as his punches to the body were taking there tole on Khan and you could see in the last round his hands dropped slightly and if he would of got wore down and tagged once it would have been like watching bamby on ice all over again.
