    All internet forums are the same, no matter what the topic is... there's not a whole lot of actual knowledge or objectivity going on.

    Khan has the faster handspeed, Pac has the better timing.

    Don't believe this for a moment.

    Freddie would lie about his golden boy for Amir?
    No.

    I don't even think Khan is that much faster if at all. He's fast....anyone who has speed on level of Floyd or Zab is fast. But Khan's combinations are not a fast as Mannys.....One punch at a time he is probably faster like Floyd is.....that Lead right hand is a lazer. Khan is a very good talent and I think he's gonna get better. I don't think he'll reach the level of a Floyd or Manny but he'll go pretty far with the right team behind him.

    Pacquiao's speed to power ratio blows Khan out of the water. Pointless discussion IMO. Even if Khan's hand speed is a hair faster, it doesn't matter. The speed that Pacquiao has at the power at which he unleashes it, is simply not human.

    khan has FANTASTIC footwork!! if you pay more attention you would see that! khan has all the skill, speed and footwork but his chin, power and intelligence are nowhere near pacquiaos. the intelligence will come with experience tho :deal

    But then again isnt that what they were saying about Pac at Khans age?

    If Khan was not of middle eastern decent then i think we would be hailing him ala Andre Ward or any other top American prospect.

    I still see great things for the kid.

    Khan is faster than Pac, but not by far, to be honest you dont get much faster than them two.

    khan doesnt have half the ring intelligence of most champions now, as he is still only 23. ring intelligence will come with time and experience, thats a given. he did fight smart against kotelnik though, but he was just doing what he was told.

    khan has a big frame and i get the feeling that the higher in weight khan progresses, the better he will become, ala pacquiao :think
