Amir Kahn, fastest hands in boxing?

For the record I think Andre Dirrell outclasses Khan when it comes to speed (and precision).

 

That legs stuff that some pundits come out with with regard to punch resistance is total nonsense. It's help balance and how your bodymass reacts to being hit, but your basically stuck with the chin your born with.

At world level you can't go a career without getting tagged no matter how good your defense, so I imagine we will continue to see him being well matchmade against lighter punchers. If malignaggi wins next weekend i'd bet thats his next opponent as I'm not sure if the WBA will enforce Maidana to be up next and will probably let him have a voluntary.

I'm not a fan or Khan or a hater, I just don't consider him to have been tested and as such I'm reserving my judgement.

:deal

 

No he's not.

 

It is probably true that you "can not train chin", but you can train defence and more importantly you can train what to do once you are in dreamland. For example, Khan when dropped by Prescott instead of lying on his knee for as long as possible stand up and tried to fight back....this is the worst you can do. You rather better cover up, take one and fake a KO thus gaining more time than try to fight back.

 

ONE of the fastest guys in boxing but not THE fastest, pac-man and floyd have the fastest hands in the game. but khan is up there though no question.

 

kid chocolate is a beast!!:good

 

i agree. he hasnt proven it at the top level while pac and may have. its one thing looking fast against the solitas of the world. another thing doing it against the likes of tim bradley

 

Khan was weight drained at LW, could have conributed to his chin.

Khan may have the fastest hands, but he is not the quickest. Quickness is down to athleticsm, how fast you can explode, move in and out and react. Soon enough with Ariza training him I think he will achieve that athleticsm, they have a scientific approach to training methods which boxing trainers have ignored for a long time.

 

you cant train a guy what to do when he is hurt. its an instinct thing

 

Kahn is very fast, although hard to gauge who exactly has the fastest hands. Although at 22yrs old, Kahn is still work in progress.

 

You can....special forces do this routinely and it works.

 

are you serious? yuriorkis gamboa easily has the fastest hands in boxing.

 

Eh no:--(
