      Speed without intelligence or accuracy is only 1/3 Of what you need. Everyone thinks speed is the answer. Don’t get me wrong. I can appreciate it but watching Kahn all these years was disappointing. He had ZERO gears. He was all sprint till he got tired, then dropped.

        Khan's biggest downfall was along with his blistering speed it slowed down his processing time and he didnt see the kill shots coming

          His hands were so fast it was almost like he didn’t have full control of them

            Amir Khan's speed was super elite, there is no fighter active today with comparable speed.

            Canelo Alvarez had no answer for his speed. All he could do was shell up, and wait for Khan to slow down or make a mistake.

            Fact of the matter is, Khan was beating Alvarez before he was hit with that big punch .

              Probably him or Meldrick Taylor, or Howard Davis Jr.
              Davis was fast but never could win a belt.

                That is how Loma timed Russell Jr who never changed his speed during the fight.

                    Why is a mediocre fighter getting this much love? **** Kahn. Pure speed doesn't mean **** in the pros. Even mediocre fighters were able to time and counter his ***** ass.

                      For the first 2 rounds Khan outclassed Garcia more than anyone else ever has for any amount of time. He was looking fire that fight, then all of a sudden he was splattered all over the canvas. Nash still can't believe Khan got through 12 rounds with Maidana to get the victory. Nash out.
