Khan's speed was shocking to me. It is incredible, and probbaly the fastest I have ever seen in all of boxing. His footspeed is also very quick. There was a moment in round 4 where Khan was in the middle of the ring and Maidana was by the ropes adjustiing his trunks when Khan leaped so fast to attack him it looked like he was Spiderman
yeah the speed is all there.. he needs to work on his footwork defensivley more but the speed and potential is definatley there. Roach even claims khan is quicker when the pair spar i also remember what your referring to in the 4th... he really caught maidana by suprise. he literally ran at him lol
posts like these triggers the hating. its evident that you just him fight. then you are already declaring him to be the best, fastest, etc.
Didn't he miss that punch ?? ... he has fast hands and power but his footwork is awful ... I mean he's fast on his feet but he's often out of position ... when he throws his flurries he ends up in a really bad position ... he looks like he's southpaw but his feet are stil orthodox .. and the china didn't shatter but boy did it crack lol
In all fairness i dont think the OP is claiming khan has the best footwork there is... it quite bad at times hes just claiming its extremely fast.... which it is......
Yea nothing really came of the suprise attack... but i was very impressed on his instincts to leap on maidana when he was left open like that. Yeah he really needs to work on his footwork and positioning when he attacks as thats when he is most vunerable to shots.. theres no doubting the speed of his footwork though... it will come together with time (hopefully) And as for the chin.... i dont think it can be classed as china or glass anymore.. its like its gone for single to double glazing lmao.... its still glass none the less just stronger
That was the 1st time in the fight he got hit on the chin .... the rest bounce off his forehead or his cheek ... but when he got hit on the chin the feathers came out and he did his chicken dance lol .. Ps.. I'm not a khan hater ... in the end of the 1st round I was like oh **** roach created a monster ... I was really impressed but then he stopped goin to the body and I saw the footwork and I said oh he's what I thought he was
