    Your joking right? Yes Pac isn't as fast as he was at 126 or 130 but he is easily one of the fastest if not the fastest WW alive right now. The only one who you could even argue has faster hands is Mayweather and even that is arguable. So how exactly is the fastest or perhaps second fastest boxer in a division not fast. Also he has still kept a considerable amount of his speed and most of the fighters he has stopped have said its because his punches are too fast. In closing you're an idiot.

    He looked faster than Paulie Malignaggi and that's fast enough.

    I agree. Fast, accurate, but a lack of any real explosive power. Oh well, maybe his technical style can still bring on entertaining fights.

    Not really. He got speed but no power I don't think.

    Again, I'm not a fan of Khan, but why would you think he lacks power? In his last 2 fights he beat Malignaggi to a pulp and knocked out Salita in about 5 seconds. People with no power don't knock out their opponents with the first couple punches (might have been the first punch but I don't remember exactly).

    I'm sure you can find faster strawweights.

    He caught Salita cold with that lightening 1,2 combination. But yep he does have respectable power, as evident against Paulie (a guy who handled everything a monstrous Cotto threw at him).

    I think those that slate his power, are generally those that only began watching his career from the Kotelnik fight. They think because he failed to rock or hurt the Ukrainian (the same Ukrainian who brushed aside Maidana’s bombs), he must then have feather fists. They’re also oblivious to the fact that Khan by then had adopted a defensive approach which involved him firing rapid combinations whilst on the move. Rarely does he plant his feet and put all his venom in to his punches now.
