        You guys are taking this way wrong, this isnt anything bad. Those guys are fast fighters. Look at the history.

            muscle twitch fibers. Not all Asians are like that though, they come from a certain area. for example Koreans are more geared towards endurance.

            same with African, north africans are all speed, south is more for endurance.

            Just genetics.

            Pacquiao, Bruce lee, etc, those guys were born with the ability to be really fast.
            I only have a bit of Asian in me but I was the best at the 100m sprint back when I was in high school. I was only 5'6.

            On the other hand my endurance was terrible, even when I would run every morning I still couldn't happily run 10km.

            I've seen some really fast black peeps to though, it's not just asians. I've seen lots of slow Asians as well.

                Freddie Roach says Khan is faster than Pacquiao.


                I think he knows more than you.

                    its got nothing to do with being Asian, considering they are both 130-140 pounders, they should be fast. seriously, you ever seen a slow L/W?
