Timothy Bradley: I've never seen anyone as fast as Amir Khan before

[Hi-Dro]

I still think Manny has the faster hands. I like Floyd in this topic though because he's so ****ing fast, and precise with his punches, whereas Amir is merely speedy, but lacks the precision of a Floyd, or Pacquiao. However, he is still in the learning process.

[THE REED]

In terms of handspeed Amir has to be considered among the best in the business:

0:39-1:37

Active? Sure hes among them.

All time? Meh.

[P4P Opinion]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tim Bradley is the man. No trash-talking, just straight up honesty and clear judgement. I think Bradley understands the game as much as any young fighter around right now. Bradley is confident and secure in his abilities so as not to need to brag about what he can do or make outlandish claims. You'll never hear Bradley talk about knocking people out because he knows he aint a big hitter. What you will hear from Bradley is how he'll decision someone decisively, and who would bet against that considering the shape he is in, his variety of skills and his ring smarts?

I'm looking forward to the fight this weekend, but I'm looking forward to Khan-Bradley even more.

[wazaa.]

Active? Sure hes among them.

All time? Meh.

I think in terms of handspeed alone (so excluding lateral movement and reflexes) only Gamboa surpasses him. And he is a featherweight. Who else has better handspeed then Amir?

Donaire? Dirrell?

I can't discuss all-time stuff because I don't know much about past fighters. I think Amir is as fast as Sugar Ray Leonard though.

Against Maidana I thought he looked blazing fast for the first few rounds then he started getting hit and his speed went way down. I wouldn't put him in the same league as a prime Roy Jones or Pacquiao by any means.

[Las Vegas,]

IMO Khan is just as fast as Meldrick Taylor and Sugar Ray Leonard in their primes.

Agreed. He seems to tire midway through the fight once he gets hit with some punches.

[Shattered Jaw]

Classy stuff from Timothy... As for the fastest out there right now? Khan is definitely up there with Floyd, Manny etc.

i had a sneaking feeling that alexander might win.

but i WANT bradley to win,hes making all the right noises,giving credit due,and not looking to duck and make a bigger easier buck.

i think the fight will be close,i hope its not a questionable decision.

both are quite evenly matched.
