Is Amir Khan faster tha Pacquiao?

I've watched more than half of Amir's fights bro. I'm not saying he's NOT fast. He is. He's on par with the likes of Floyd, Manny and Zab but he's not as fast when he throws combos as Manny is.

 

What this man said.!:good

 

Pac only has comparable speed b/c he's smaller? That makes no sense given the fact that Manny has been moving up in weight and keeping most of the speed he had at the lower weight. He's still the fast Jr WW and one of the fastest WW's out there.

Manny's speed is a natural gift that sets him apart from fighters who are not on his speed level. The other things you mentioned were accurate but his speed is part of what allowed a ONE DEMENSIONAL PAC beat FAAAAR more skilled and seasoned greats like MAB, EM and JMM earlier in Mannys career.

Manny is more athletic and more of a fighter. Manny's ablility in the ring with his hands, feet and body are far more explosive than Khan. Manny is naturally a better athlete. But Khan has a lot of potential and talent which will take him far.

 

I think Pac is slightly faster, but really we are splitting hairs between the two.
What really makes Pac's speed is that he has gone up in weight his has retain his speed. We will need to see if Khan can retain his speed as he gets older AND naturally heavier.

 

I think Khan's hand speed is way overrated at the moment.

 

PAC attributes throw fast and crisp combinations, timing, chin, power, heart, footwork and throw punch on weird angles. khan maybe faster one punch at a time combo no!

 

I like Khan but I have to agree with all of the above,everyone is fooled by the speed not realising there's not much else there.

 

khan is very fast.

is it only me, but do any of you find it a bit stupid that a few posters comparing a 23 year old fighter to the likes of mayweather and pacquiao as a mean to put khan down? to say "he's not going to achieve what they did", because truth be told, floyd and pacquiao are going to go down as p4p greats, best of the generation, so it's no disgrace to not accomplish what they have done, or to be as good as they are. i just find it so ridiculous that it's actually quite humorous to put a fighter down, but then to compare him to future legends. very weird.

 

Spot on. :good

 

no way. have u seen pac on the mitts. i suggest u watch then revisit

 

^^ its completely reasonable for someone to say his handspeed is faster. I would have to watch some more of it but it wouldnt surprise me. People are too afraid to admit that maybe he has just ONE attribute that has a slight edge on Pac

 

:thinkIts pretty close Khan is rangy so the speed looks different, Probably pretty much on Par with Pac but Pac is more accurate and sharper, and he throws from so many different angles that they are harder to see coming.

 

I thin pac is faster just down to arm length. Pac is shorter so can fire of quicker. Khan is still fast mind.
