For sure. Seeing it live gives the best impression, because his hands literally moved so fast that we (the crowd) had barely adjusted ourselves in our seats! I didn't believe it at first that he's anywhere near Pacquiao's speed, but the way he just rains a hailstorm of punches down on guys makes me wonder...

Prior to last Saturday I used to say he only had 'pop' in his punches (in a sort of KD-inducing, but not brutal KO way), but now I've changed my mind. His punches were vicious and hard in there, and he said it himself - he's sitting down on them now, and that means double trouble for whoever gets caught.

I'm not talking about Salita though,I'm talking about Khan's newfound boxing ability.

The target became irrelevant.

Khan new found power, better chin. Soon to be accused of steroids.

Roach has said Khan is faster than Pacquiao.

Where have you been? But you really can't conclude much from such a short fight.

That fight didn't last long enough to make that judgement. Sure it looked that way, but can he repeat what we believe we saw? If he can keep bringing it and repeating it then it is there as you suggest. and as someone else mentioned - the opposition... he'll be better tested down the line and we'll see what's what.
