The difference between round 1 Amir Khan and round 4-5 onwards Amir Khan was so incredible it ought to be studied. He would blitz guys early, dropping (Maidana) or even stopping guys who were not accustomed to being hit that cleanly, that early. It wasn't even power, it was pure speed. Then the instant his speed started waning a touch he immediately became 1000% more beatable, going from piecing up someone like Danny Garcia to going tit-for-tat with Oisin ***an.
It's not like he was dog-tired or anything after a few rounds either. It's just losing that little bit of speed and crispness completely derailed him and brought his many flaws to the immediate forefront. Floyd would have given away 2-3 rounds then dominated. Pacquiao would have put Khan away in an exchange, possibly early. No way that biscuit chin lasts twelve against Pac's left hand.
