    This is for the people who say Khan is the fastest at 140


    This is the first round of Zab vs Kostya Tszyu, you have to pay attention and see where skill meets power, explosive fast punches.

    Everybody will bring up how Khan beat Paulie to the punch as example of his speed, but know mentions how he's the bigger fighter with a longer reach, and if you the guts counter rights are full of no power it's a lot easier to come forward a throw jabs all night. Show me a khan fight where he looks more explosive than this, or has 1 single punch power Like the first round of this
    video.


    Khan maybe the future but let him earn his props and stop being so quick to crown him, until he fights somebody that matters he doesn't matter.


    Before u start clowning zab just know that guy he knocked him out is a legend and that punch would of put anybody on the ground, so there should be no glass jar talks here.

    Zab made Tszyu look like a B class fighter that first round, then he got knocked out in the 2nd round ........

    But Zab is older now, Khan may be faster than the zab today, but not the younger one.

    Judah isn't as fast as that today...so thats why I would say Khan is faster. You say Khan only beat Malignaggi to the punch because he was the bigger fighter and had the longer reach...no, he beat him to the punch because he was faster...I suggest you go rewatch the bout.

    You must be joking. You couldn't even see the punch that K0'ed Santa Cruz in his comeback fight. Khan may throw in bunches but a lot of his work is straight ahead and wildly off target with nowhere near Judah's accuracy. Paulie is nowhere near fast though, especially not in comparison to either man.

    That knockout in the Tsu video was hilarious though - 'don't ever play with matches'! :lol:

    Zab has good accuracy, he doesn't have lightning fast hands though, c'mon. if we are talking just out and out speed, Khan still edges it.

    He beat Barrera when 70% expected Khan to get knocked the **** out, you were probably one of them, just like one of the 66% who said Khan will never win a world title. He won a world title by shutting the Kotelnik out who beat Maidana and dominated the unified LWW champ in the robbery of the year. Khan also trashed the former two-time champ Malignaggi who was a lot more competitive vs. Cotto. How does Maidana for example matter more?

    Round 1 showed that zab is very quick with his first punch but from the few combo's he threw shows his combination speed is impressive but not ATG speed. He only threw 2 or 3 effective combinations and many of the punches missed, mostly due to Tszyu's ability to move away because he saw what was coming his way. The most impressive part of the video was Tszu coming out in round two, sytematically and patiently taking over the fight with precise punching, and easily winning the round prior to the end.

    Hatton and Ngoudjo beat Mallignaggi to the punch are they faster than Judah? Khan isn't super fast, hes reasonably fast, rangy and developing into a good stand up boxer.

    I'd love to see Zab vs. Kahn. Great test for both guys. Zab seems to have his act together these days but his inability to focus may be a big issue if Kahn frustrates him. In round 2 of the Tszyu fight, Zab had already lost his focus and Tszyu did not waste any time taking advantage. I'd favor Kahn all day long if he had a proven chin, but that's what makes this interesting because Zab has the quickness and power to test it.

    Its a real shame Judah jumped up so fast, that was developing into a hell of a fight, if Judah had 30 more IQ points he'd be an ATG

    Not this **** again. Weren't you put in your place in the last thread? Anyway, not everyone thinks Khan is faster than a prime Judah (who was super fast!). But those that do, aren't exactly being ridiculous in their estimations. Khan is fast. Certainly the fastest at 140 today.

    Seriously, where do people get this from? Khan's accuracy is pretty impressive, it always has been. The way you hear things on here, one would be mislead to believe he's a wild kamikaze swinger like a young Pacquiao.

    Forward to 7:30 of the following video, and watch his knockdown of Gomez. Tell me that's not accurate...6 punch blistering combination to the head, all bang on target:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMFvbcwnBxQ[/ame]


    And look back at his recent victory over Paulie. It took him a few rounds to adjust to Paulie's movement, before he began pasting his face with some pretty accurate combinations and single shots. Although it'll be better to back and watch the full fight, a quick review of the following highlights will tell you wha I'm talking about. Keep an eye out for 1:46, 1:56, and 2:17:
