    Zab has slowed down a bit.. Kahn reallyisnt thatmuchfaster than Zab, STyles annd reach and over all ability is what beat him...

    Id say faster guysat 140 were

    Meldrick Taylor
    Prime Zab Judah
    Mayweather
    Manny Pac about on par
    Delahoya About on par.. But Oscar was faster with Combos.
    BENITEZ AT LEAST ON PAR
    HURTADO VERY FAST MAYBE AS QUICK AS kAHN.
    Camacho jr yes i said it but he isnt half the fighter Kahn is.
    CamachoSr had slowedsome by the time he wentto Jw but even the faded Camacho Sr wasabout on par

    Prime SHarmba Mitchelll close


    Kahn has good range so that helps alot most of these guys wereshorter... Except for ODLH,Hurtado

    Pernell WHittaker.... Reflexeswere betterthan his speed but make no mistake he was still super fast... Probably al little faster than Kahn.

    Pryor??? Close Kahn might have the edge though






    Kahn beats some of these guys though.... BUt loses to ODLH,WHittaker,Taylor(style wiseKahn might givehim a tough one),Pryor,Pac.... Benitez much greater fighter b IMO didnt peak until WW or JM... But id still pick the 17 yr old Benitez over Kahn.

    it wasnt just his speed but is reactions

    when judah started coming in he'd stick the left out and judah would be running into a brick basically

    Id say his jab is among the fastest 140lbers on par with Oscars he also has a similar build to his. Manny and Floyd had faster hooks, logical since they are more compact fighters.

    Khans handspeed is the fastest in all of boxing today.

    He is faster than Pac and floyd that is pretty clear. He was faster than judah, especially in combinations but in single punches it wasnt a huge difference just that judah was gun shy and didnt let his hands go or really try.

    With speed people always have an issue admitting a fighter like khan is faster than pac/mayweather because those guys are better overrall. but to me its pretty clear his hands are faster today. Doesnt mean he would beat them or be able to beat the guys they beat.

    His combinations are real fast but not always accurate, but I think its good he doesnt mind missing some to land some, as too many guys throw one punch at a time now days. But other areas like say reflexes and countering, mayweather is better and so he can look faster where you will see him land counters than you couldnt picture khan doing but that is a different type of speed and not pure handspeed.

    He is fast, no doubt about it, which is one good reason Void will not fight him, rumors from Void fans that Khan is a drug addict, this is getting absurd, Khan should take legal action ASAP!
