Speed could be a deciding factor
Both Devon and Amir rely heavily on speed and gettin in quick flurries/combos.
Which one of the two has quicker hands?
Who Is Faster Khan Or Devon?
Wow, thats a tough one.
It's Hard to say who has the faster clinch.

I think that's different kinds of speed. In terms of combination punching, Khan and Russel Jr are probably the fastest. In terms of single shots/counter punches Rigondeaux is perhaps the best.
:ugh:
Russel Jr has fake shoeshine slappy speed. No extension whatsoever on those punches, it's more showy than effective.
Timing beats speed, so you never know especially with Devon who is an excellent fighter.
Khan's speed would be important to land the straight right, which is key against south paws, so his speed will allow him to find home, but he needs to box and stay calm. No need to be a macho man because people will never appreciate Khan even if he crosses over to MMA and beats their WW champ in UFC.
:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
I can't really see any case for Devon being sharper than Khan. He's not a sharp puncher at all.
alexander/karrass is a good example of how sharp alexander is, his technique is far better then khans imo... agree to disagree
khan can move his hands faster but his form is atrocious. raw speed is all he has in mind when he's throwing those pitty pat arm punches. sure he looks quicker but guys like gary russel jr, rigo, or prime pacquiao are more well rounded with their speed.
No question Khan has the speed advantage....FOR THE FIRST 4-6 ROUNDS! Then Khan starts to slow down and get very sloppy and WILD. If Khan stamina holds up and like Porter if he can control the action INSIDE then he should be able to get it to the Cards for the Decision.
Alexander will have to time him and let those hands go during the exchanges because he has the CHIN Advantage, with that chin taking Risk to lands something big is a must. Alexander will have to beat him up inside, work the body early to slow him down and then get inside and outwork him. Khan don't fight inside he kinda just holds on for the ref to break.
Khan is an arm puncher so it's always been hard to rate his speed, his technique is absolute garbage which is why he looks amateurish throwing combinations. I'd say he has better hand speed than Alexander still.
Alexander is a wrist puncher
Problem is speed is all Khan has..and it is not educated speed and his timing is terrible which makes him look sloppy
He also has crispier shots than Devon.

With the way that Khan fights since hooking up with Hunter it's going to be an ugly,mauling,clinching,holding bout with no title on offer.Khan you took this fight one year too late.This fight won't get the winner to Mayweather anyway.
Khan is Blazing Fast, Devon has Impressive Speed. Khan will Hurt Devon, Possibly KO him, or win easly. I actually went to the Raider Game with Amir Khan, Tony Brady, and two other guys. Good Guy - A.K should get his shot @ Floyd, unless he looks so good that Floyd makes excuses to not fight him.
