    Khan is fast when he let's his hands go, but his speed is overrated for a lot of reason

    1. He doesn't have th single punch speed which some coaches think is better than combo speed where u build speed with volume.

    2. He's not as accurate and timing is not as good as the other top fighters a great example is Bradley.


    3. The most important 1, this is the reason I think their protecting him. Because a lot o times he fails to bring his hands all the way back to his guard when punching in high volume. With a chin like that's a NO NO




    Ok I'm ready fit the bashing!! N


    Ok so I'm ready for the bashing.

    He is in my book until he fights Marcos Maidana.

    If Khan doesnt fight Maidana I hope he dies of AIDS

    He's a good fighter with pretty good timing and impressive fast hands, but he's certainly not as fast or faster than Pacquiao which some have stated. He may be in the top ten of current fastest hands, but is not blinding.

    He is very fast, no two ways about it. He does shoe shine a lot though so I sort of get what you're saying.

    He has fast hands. He was beating Malignaggi to the punch if that says anything.

    Fool.

    This fact has nothing to do with handspeed.

    Now **** yourself in front of traffic.

    He's featherfisted, but he is also really fast. If Amir was able to beat him to the punch its says alot about his speed.

    I feel that he does have great one punch speed actually, specifically in his jab. I hate the guy and pray on his downfall, but gotta admit he is fast.

    Round1 -- respect your opinion, how do you think a round-robin between Khan, Maidana, Bradley, Alexander and Ortiz goes? Sorry it's off-topic, but interested to hear your opinions.

    Judah's timing is better, and is faster at single punches.

    Timing allows you to catch people with big shots.

    Thats one thing with Judah, he's still got his speed.

    Judah is indeed faster than Khan.

    Personally, I think he could have the fastest hands in boxing today.

    I don't know what you question is, but to be honest I always looked at the 140 class as B class fighters some are B B- and B+ until the top starting fight each other it's hard to tell who's who's. For that reason I wasn't that disappointed in Alexander's performance cause I wasn't expecting a class performance.
