    you could half mayweathers speed and he would still dominate most of the top fighters out their,just because hes so smart
    half amir khans speed,or pacquioas speed for example,and they become b-level fighters
    I actually think this is the case for Pacquiao, but not for Floyd or Khan. Take away Floyds speed and he basically has no offense at all. He can't take risks, put combinations together, taking his speed away all he's gonna be able to do is cover up and block. Take Khans speed away and he becomes a c class offensive fighter. Take away Pacquiaos speed and he's still got angles and power.

      Fast forward to about 1:14. When Khan can throw 3 straight right hand leads like that and knock his opponent down then talk about his handspeed being close to Floyds

        This has to be one of the most ridiculous analogies I've ever read. Yeah, and if you take away Pacqious feet he can't walk.
