    Khan has a bit of poke with single shots at times, but he's to busy trying to throw fast flurries all the time most of his shots are pitter patter featherfisted efforts..

    I wouldn't class Khan as heavy handed or a hard/ big puncher in the slightest..

    It's weird, since this lo Greco demolition ppl seem to have forgotten we know what khan's all about all to well already...

    He'll get KO'd (again) as soon as he steps in with anyone decent at 147, no doubt about it...

    This feels like it was meant to bait Spence and Spence fans.

    Superb, sounds like it was a great night, glad you enjoyed yourself.

    My wife is a huge LFC fan, I'm Tottenham and our son is a huge Chelsea fan, so it's been very lively in our house for most of the season LOL

    I don't necessarily think he's saying that 'single punch' wise they have the same power, but Khan's speed makes his power harder to take.

    Khan's shots are not as hard, but he can land 3 in the time Spence lands one, making them harder to take.

    Would you take 1 100% punch or 3 80% punches?
    I think thats the point.

    Kahn needs to stay away from Spence, he'd get bodied.

    Khan would give a 140er coming up who relies on speed, like Crawford, a hell of a fight.

    The trouble with that speed is he doesn't plant himself and sit into his shots, you can't really when your throwing flurries like he does, it looks good but majority of Khan's pitter patter flurries aren't gonna hurt the top lads at 147...

    Algieri walked through them ffs... Lol

    Give me 3 shots from khan to one from any heavy handed fighter any day..

    Styles makes fights, and how Khan fights makes him nothing but fodder for Spence. Khan tends to fall into his opponents after he flurries. He can't do that with Spence who wants to get within his range to rip shots to the body. Also, Spence is very good at measuring the distance for his shots while controlling his opponents by forcing them on the backfoot. There's also a reason why Spence rarely looks like he's taken any punishment after a fight. He rolls, blocks and parries very well and the predictable Khan would have a tough time getting to Spence after the 2nd round. Lastly I'll say that Khan doesn't control the space very well. He has a reactionary jab, but that's also very predictable can be baited too easily.

    Spence KO in 5

    Tbf mate i don't think it makes much difference to me. I don't see this one ending too well for Khan

    I know this thread is just a conversation starter but the word of this bum doesn't mean anything. Spence would KO Khan but no way Khan commands enough interest in the US to make the fight happen and Spence has bigger fish to fry. Khan should work himself through the ranks instead of looking for shortcuts.
