Khan in the Maidana fight - fastest hands ever?

Khan is fast, but let's not exaggerate.

He's not up to guys like prime versions of Taylor, Davis, Leonard, Camacho, Judah, RJJ, etc...

 

+1. Meldrick Taylor was the first name that came to my mind. He was lightning quick!!

Wtf? Based on what? I didn't know you can judge that type of speed and measure.

Complete bull**** coming from you.

 

It's called eyes.

Sorry if you're fooled by quick arm flurries.

Get off his dick, he's fast but he's far from the fastest ever.

 

Ok, post some videos of Judah, RJJ and a couple others and let's compare.

And I just said he's probably not the fastest ever atsch but is arguably the fastest fighter right now.

But Prime for prime, Khan is still in the same league of speed as Judah, RJJ, if not better.

 

I think this guy here has fast hands too

This example below is not merely a quick arm flurry. This is Jones going from all kinds of angles, to get leverage behind his shots, and they're still blazing fast.

I can't believe I'm actually having to argue why Amir Khan is not faster than ROY JONES.


Really, I know people like to get excited and optimistic when they see a young up-and-coming talent. Hell, I do it at times too, but it's not going to affect my objective view of things. Khan is fast but he is not in any way the fastest fighter EVER.

 

Gambi's speed is brilliant. Right up there with Montiel, Khan, RJJ and the rest.

It's super hard to measure this stuff.

 

Here is another clip against the hard hitting Adilson, it shows a phantom knockdown too.

To me, whether they are arm punches, or not, it doesn't matter because the man asked about Speed.

Yes, Roy is probably getting a load of Power along with that Speed on them but Khan is just as fast whether he's doing arm punches or not.

It's hard to measure, and I'm not saying Khan is the FASTEST guy at all, but you said he's not up to guys like Judah, Cama, RJJ etc, which I don't believe.

The people you mentioned use their Speed a lot more effectively and are smart with it, though which may lead you to say that, maybe.

Maybe Khan will be able to utilise his Speed in the same manner them people did when he hits his Prime.

 

Theres far too much common sense in that statement.

 

He looks great. I'm a huge fan of the guy. His face resembles Breidis Prescott

 

He isn't blindingly fast like some of the greats known for it, but for a guy who throws punches in a fairly traditional style (speedster types rarely do) he is very very fast.
