    after floyd and manny name another fighter who has great speed along with unbelievable accuracy. maybe gamboa comes close and possibly dirrell. niether are quite as fast as amir and niether fighters have as yet outboxed quality fighters like mallignaggi and kotelnik to a complete shutout.

    I wouldn't say his accuracy's excellent. It's improving certainly.

    but not as quick or accurate. he has the power though which amir lacks.

    he hit mallignaggi, kotelnik, and maidana more than they have ever been hit before. look at the combo's and ko's of gomez, salita, earl, mallignaggi and that irish fella after prescot. he couldnt miss. unbelievable!

    thats because he's agressive. he throws in bunches. if he fought causiously like mayweather he would potshot and land everytime almost.

    Erm against Gomez he was missing most of his shots when the stoppage came.

    Against Kotelnik he was hitting the fellas gloves all night long.

    Yeah ***an, Earl, Salita were all quality stoppages but that was against lesser foes.

    He has blinding handspeed but because of that he can get sloppy and not land with a lot of punches.

    look at the mallignaggi fight. pauli is meant to be elusive. khan landed at will.
    kotelnik covered up so how can he land anything other than gloves.
    look at the combinations of the first kd of gomez and the 10 punch unanswered combo. khan can land going forward, backwards and can counter. he's in the top 5 for offensive ability across all weights.

    he's not pfpf all round fighter yet because he isnt elusive and can be wobbled. but he has time to improve.

    His accuracy's one of my primary reasons for concern. Pacquiao's much faster and much more accurate as an offensive fighter, plus he has better punch selection. Khan's very sloppy, even with his jab.

    That's a myth. Paulie's only elusive if he can get on the move, but Khan had faster feet. Paulie has no head or upper body movement, and even then for the first six rounds Khan's jab and right was whizzing past Paulie's head.

    Not a great performance really.

    Paulie is not elusive at all, that's a myth. Hatton and Cotto mullered him. Ndou landed a lot in the rematch.

    You said Khan was incredibly accurate but then say he couldn't have being against Kotelnik. Can't have both, if he was so accurate he would have found openings, would have found ways to make Kotelnik drop his guard (Not knocking Khan, that was a great performance).

    You're correct that Khan can be lethal with his combinations but you can't say he's one of the most accurate fighters around. He can get very sloppy and throws too many lazy punches for the sake of throwing punches. Punch selection is something he needs to work on.

    Top 5 for offensive ability is a bit much. He's not really a puncher. Yeah, he'll stop the likes of Salita but at true world level he's not a KO artist.

    A fair comment:good.

    I think Berto and Gamboa have similar speed and better power for the respective weights also

    to be fair,hatton outboxed and outpunched malliwotshisname,and hatton is no speedfreak,bad example really.

    koltinik is a slow fringe worldclass ploder,salita was,well,**** on a stick,***en,err was ***en,and gomez was washed up:good

    khan is fast,yes,accurate,nah,not really,and his power is a bit none existant.

    as for he has hit maidana more than anyone,nah,otiz landed loads,and dropped him:deal
