Amir Khan is faster than Manny Pacquaio ??

6.52

Straight from the horses mouth. Does this mean both are faster than Gayfeather?

Roach has consistently said Khan shows up well against Pac in sparring so it wouldn't surprise me. And Khan is a lot younger, I suppose.

similar sort of speed

I really do love Paulie's own comment, "you have a guy who can't punch against a guy who can't take a punch"... at least he DOES acknowledge his own flaws, lol.

not the first time roach has said this.

Jeez, what the hell does this have to do with Floyd? All these posts ripping Pac and Floyd are beginning to piss me off (even more so with Floyd). Can't one just like both fighters?

It's prettty noticeable too. I personally think the difference in hand speed is pretty big. Ahmir shows crisp punches, gets his arm back fast, etc. textbook execution.

Manny on the other hand can get pretty loopy at times, and throws from awkward/wide angles on occasion so the distance inwhich his punches are traveling is usually greater when he comes from an angle like that.

Gamboa is the same way, but his lil t rex arms are short and crisp as well.

its just how they throw their punches that make the big difference though.

No. That would be boring.

To be fair he is, that's not saying in any way he is on the same level as Pacquiao overall, but it is clear he has very fast hands.

i think thats more to do with the height and reach of each guy,and the height and reach of their opponent to
i agree khan has more textbook execution but pacquioas sharp use of angles really fucks opponents up
