    p4p possibly the fastest in the sport today.

    Roach and his sparring partners have said he had faster hands than Pac, thats quite a statement.

    I like Khan but I agree that his speed is overrated.

    You got people thinking his hands are faster than Pac's but when you watch em spar Pac makes Khan's speed look ordinary.

    He's a light welter/welter who's as fast as a flyweight.

    He is clearly fast as ****, in terms of hand and foot speed. Faster than judah. Faster than Devon.

    The same pitty patty punches that stopped Paulie Malignaggi? You know, the same Paulie Malignaggi who withstood Cotto's onslaught for 12 rounds?

    No. For a distance fighter of his type he has a pretty good KO percentage, and solid pop. He's not a puncher by any means, but he isn't featherfisted.

    Khan landed a lot of clean, hard punches throughout that fight. But Paulie didn't seem horribly bothered by them.

    I just think Paulie has a pretty good chin.

    Over rated by some but by most they recognize his speed for what it is. He's about as fast as Floyd and Manny. Which is pretty fast. But he's a bit slower than Zab.
