    Speed is relative. We're talking FASTER than Floyd, not fast compared to the average grown man.

    And GTFO of here with Ortiz :lol:

    I thought we were talking about a comparison of a fighter that doesn't look significantly slower than Khan.

    Judah's power wasn't what was giving Mayweather constant problems. It was his ability to hit him in the first place, primarily due to his speed. The knockdown was more of a balance thing than anything else (again, due to speed).

    Collazo didn't exactly stay standing against Khan so I don't know what your point is.

    No, you said Judah was "the only truly fast fighter he ever fought".

    Speed is relative. 'Truly fast' means 'faster than Floyd' in the context of the discussion.

    Firstly, stick that crayon where the sun done shine.

    Secondly, your logic is a load of ****.
    Zab Judah blah blah had Floyd in trouble blah blah blah that automatically means Khan is going to do this and do that.

    after a couple of rounds, Judah runs out of steam as does Khan, suddenly the speed is gone off his punches.and Khan starts running, he does this in every fight and was also running from round 5 onwards vs Collazo.

    Khan troubles Floyd for about 3 roundw, then Floyd takes him apart and toys with him.

    Judah had speed AND power, Maidana had pressure and power, Khan has pillow fists.

    Judah had already lost 6-7 times by the time he fought Khan....so not really something to.brag about there is it?

    "no power" yet he displayed more power than the guys you mentioned in their encounters.

    Meanwhile Khan doesn't hit as hard as Judah or Maidana. Mayweather handled their best shots. I appreciate Khan throws more than them and is much quicker, but fighting mayweather his work rate will be neutralised to quite a big extent

    if worst comes to worst, Floyd has to take a shot, he will.

    Khan is close to featherfisted, his speed, power and stamina drop dramatically after 4 rounds. that's when Floyd takes over and gives Khan a propr boxing lesson.

    1. I don't see Khan running out of steam aside from the Maidana fight which was more him getting rattled repeatedly while fighting the fight of his life. He ran out of steam at the end. Haven't seen it happen aside from that time. In the Collazo fight I don't think he was running because he was out of steam, I think he was trying too hard to follow Hunter's philosophy of minimal effort.

    2. Your last sentence...you just agreed with the entire premise of the thread. I think the problems will continue for more than 3 rounds, but problems are problems and you admit that Khan will cause them.
