    He is ****ed. Once his handspeed is gone Khan is absoulutely nothing. Especially when he is hardly something with handspeed.

    In the fight last night he looked slower.

    I've been telling people that Khan is ALL attributes.

    Even with his speed, he's nothing special.

    :nod His hands looked noticeably slower. And without his handspeed Khan is just a boxer with very poor defense and a glass chin. That combination doesn't tend to get you very far.

    I mentioned it in the RBR thread.

    And without the zip, Khan's a Friday night fighter.

    He looked slower against Diaz as well in my opinion. I think if you box on the back foot and let him set he will look blistering but if you press him he will look slower at Welterweight.

    He takes too many breaks before he fights again.
    Looses his sharpness.

    People can knock the two opponents that brook is facing in these two months but the fact is he is fighting two opponents IN TWO MONTHS.
    Which helps him to improve.

    Khan has 6 month layoffs before everyfight. If he doesn't get a mayweather fight he won't fight until december. He will just keep declining.

    I think his ridiculous purses have something to do with his layoffs, it's not like he needs money. He got $1.5 million for fighting Algieri. Surely he wouldn't get an insane amount more fighting May or Pac?

    He's going to have to do a LOT better than that if he wants Floyd-senpai to notice him.

    Idk about sucks but khan was better with Roach, Roach is good at picking opponents and hes good at training offensively its just thay Khan has a poor chin but at one point under him he was considered the #1 guy at 140 and even i believed he could pose floyd problems. He had a streak against MAidana,Malignaggi, kotelink and Judah but now he keeps fighting easy opponents that will never get him a big fight and he looks bad against them

    Do you have a source to back this up. I am seriously doubting that Khan got paid $1.5m to fight Friday night on spike TV.

    I thought so too last night. He is sloppily than ever and has lost the one edge he ever had.

    Khan is running into the same problem that most of this generation run into. Not active enough. Simple as that. They have too much down time and in that down time they aren't in the gym like gym rats. Most of these guys aren't really putting in the work until they have a fight signed. He should be fighting 4 times a year.
