Khan deals with Valero with ease and here's the reason.
SPEED - not the drug, the attribute.
A few people have been trying to make out like valero would KO khan, and maybe he would, IF he ever caught him flush (or anyone else for that matter). BUT!.... he would never ever catch Khan. I'm no superfan but styles make fights and Khan could slip Valero with both hands behind his back.
Valeros problem:
First the Jab - It's painfully slow, and just hangs out there like harpoon. Khan would throw 1 maybe even two quick left hooks. **** ****!
Secondly the straight - His power shot, this requires a good jab to land on the best fighters... only a mug get hit with a straight without being set up properly.
Those who know khan will know we haven't seen him attack properly for the last four fights (under roach) this is not roaches fault but if we look at the details:
***an - comback fight, you expect Khan to be cautious.
Barrera - High risk, quite defensive fight needed breaking down with flurries
Kotelnik - Ultra defensive - BTW there's a moment in the 5th round when Kotelnik throws first and gets caught with a peach. Khan slips the punch like it's bullet time. Kotelnik nevers tries it again.
Salita - Over almost before it started.
I think we are yet to see the improved (by roach) warrior style of fighting Khan became famous for.
DISCLAIMER TIME.
Yes I'm a fan but I'm realistic, Khan is not on the level of Cotto, Mosley, Mayweather,... but he is very capable of beating Valero, Maidana, Malinaggi, and other similar fighters.....
let me know your thoughts.
