    I'm going to say, he's not even that fast and most of it is just shoe shinning anyway. Forget the big names theres plenty of names with faster hands who arent big names, ie Dirrell for instance

    Khans a good young fighter, and I said he'd beat MAB and Kotelnik, but people either overrate or underrate him by ridicolous margins
     

  4. Who looked like willie pep, while fighting Kotelnik....... he had never been clearly beaten until Khan

    Quick hands but those combination were mostly for show, not much landed in fact Kotelnik took most on his gloves.

    Fast hands yes, but with no real power. It sounds good to say, "Khan has the fastest handspeed in boxing", but it won't count for much if he can't get any power into his shots.

    He has got power, not mad but enough. The plan for the Kotelnik was to win on points, and hit and move, that never really gave time for Khan to land power shots and plant his feet. There was no point trying to KO someone who has never even been KD, plus Kotelnik has a great defence and guard.

    Zab, Pac, Berto all have faster hands imo and have more pop with the speed.

    Yeah it was the right gameplan to beat Kotelnik but in the future Khan may need to plant his feet a bit more and compromise a bit of his speed to get more power on his shots. This will stop the bigger guys from walking him down cos those tippy tappy punches won't deter the top guys.

    Bill Kurtis says otherwise. You gonna disagree with Bill "Mother****in'" Kurtis? Does this look like the face of a bullshitter?
