Why do Asian fighters have such great hand speed? Pacquiao, Khan

atsch

Khan and PacMan has as much common history and genetics as an indian in the US, a white man in Poland and and a black man in South Africa. It's not like you cross the European-Asian border and people move their hands faster, LOL. Thread title makes little sense, Asia is a western geographical term.

 

if i would only base my opinion on 2 examples i would call it coincidence.
there are also alot of fighters from other races with mind blowing handspeed.

 

Exactly... Asian Culture and fighting has been about speed for generations and generations

 

:rofl

 

That is true African American boxers you named are fast, but are Asian fighters faster? maybe it's their weight.

 

You're gonna need a stronger sample size than two fighters to have an argument.

How about bringing up Wilfredo Gomez and Felix Trinidad and concluding that Puerto Rican fighters have terrific power?

Nigel Benn and Lennox Lewis...wow British fighters must have great power too!

Or let's look at the blazing hand speed of two Asian fighters in In Jin Chi and Gerry Penalosa?

 

Was Nassem Hamed classed as Asian? he was from Yemen, he was more Arab I think.

How about Bruce Lee he was ****ing fast .

 

Look at the handspeed of these British Asian fighters:

Adnan Amar
Ali Shah
Akaash Bhatia
Amer Khan (CW)
Jawaid Khaliq
Haider Ali

Their speeds are average.
And the South Central Asian stock is not the same as the South East Asian Stock.
S.C are peoples whose blood line is from various people, including arabs, aryans, dravidians, scythians, greeks.

South East are orientals.

 

saying that Asians have fast hand speed because of Khan and Pac is like saying Asians are tall because of that basketball player.

 

I only know 2 of them boxers Akaash and Adnan, and I would say Akaash has got good hand speed but lacks power.

 

All most 700 hundred posts and this guy makes an ignorant statement and people are actually giving serious answersatsch.

 

Boxing is not really a top sport in Asia, so there are not many examples to give you, hopefully people like Pac and Khan will get more young Asians into the sport.

 

it comes from years of swatting the worlds fastest mosquitos

 

well lets say that it's true that Asians have faster hand speed, the only explination i could think of that wasn't a bit racist was, Asians have fast hand speed because they have to pick rice from the ground.
