    Looking at Khan last night I think he fell in love with his speed and throwing 4 and 5 punch combinations witout moving out of range is just plain asking for trouble .

    It got me thinking who else has gone like this over the years and the following two fights come to mind.

    Judah vs Tszyu .

    Zab won the first round clearly and because Tszyu wasnt quick he thought wasnt a threat , yet when good fighters learn how to time that speed and see the wide openings then we see serious results. Judah was never the same and probably still thinks that because he was quicker he was better, not true.

    Terry Norris vs Simon Brown.

    Norris was quick , strong but did tend to rely on his quick reflexes and didnt always concentrate on the job in hand , Brown was a good figher had good tools , but wasnt really in the same league , yet went about his business and beat the much quicker fighter by sticking to his game plan.

    I know there are plenty of others , but these two ended pretty quick and did show how fast fighters sometimes do not get a second chance after making very poor decisions.

    Peace.

    Garcia was wild though majority of his punches were not well timed at all, just the way khan was boxing he was bound to get caught at some point

    Manny vs Marquez. Marquez didn't win but he negated mannys speed with his timing

    Vermont Forest (RIP) v Shane Mosely comes to mind, a good jab offsets speed if used correctly IMO, you will still get caught but the jab can command everything I feel..

    Mayweather Castillo 1

    People can argue to the hills about the result but one thing cannot be argued Castillo nullified Mayweather stylistically
