    Khan may have fast hands but poor accuracy.

    Linares, Gary Russell and possibly Andre Dirrell aswell.

    Khan is faster than Pacquiao and Mayweather imo. His punching form and technique is horrific in comparison to theirs though.

    The only thing faster than Khans hands, are his feet. ... dude ran like Forest Gump for the second half of the Cheaterson fight.

    Hopefully he can do himself justice against Garcia, Khans had a lot of bad luck recently.

    Gary Russel Jr and Gamboa both are NOT faster than Khan.

    In that he runs in off balance...

    He has to do that though...

    He tries to get a timing which is normally in a small window so he has to lunge forward...

    His jab is great.

    His hooks look pretty bad but do the job (check Peterson's and Judah's face)

    Uppercut rarely used (as you'd expect)

    Yeah, he runs in wildly and tries to be too fast in throwing his hands on the way in. He literally tries to throw both hands at the same time sometimes and he's wide open for the counter left hook.

    His jab is fantastic. No complaints about that at all, he varies it very well aswell and it's refreshing to see. He really ****ed Paulie up with it big time! He's developed his left hook well since joining up with Roach and goes to the body with it aswell.

    He just looks really amateurish when he's throwing punches other than these two. He sacrifices accuracy in favour of speed and this will work against the Judahs, Kotelniks, Malignaggis etc of this world, but it certainly won't against the likes of Floyd. Note JMM as an opposite. His combinations aren't the fastest and he's almost in slow-motion sometimes when throwing them, but he brings his hands back to his chin perfectly before throwing the other hand and he's insanely accurate. Obviously every fighter is different and they have to play to their strengths, but it's something that won't work for Khan if he decides to make that next step up.

    Really, they talk about faster hands only Russell could compare to Gamboa's and remember that YG have to get closer to throw the combo...

    Nobody. . . Khan has the fastest hands in boxing, pound for pound notwithstanding. . .
