Who Is Faster Khan Or Devon?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Khan is an arm puncher so it's always been hard to rate his speed, his technique is absolute garbage which is why he looks amateurish throwing combinations. I'd say he has better hand speed than Alexander still.

Alexander is a wrist puncher

Probably Khan at this point

No question Khan has the speed advantage....FOR THE FIRST 4-6 ROUNDS! Then Khan starts to slow down and get very sloppy and WILD. If Khan stamina holds up and like Porter if he can control the action INSIDE then he should be able to get it to the Cards for the Decision.

Alexander will have to time him and let those hands go during the exchanges because he has the CHIN Advantage, with that chin taking Risk to lands something big is a must. Alexander will have to beat him up inside, work the body early to slow him down and then get inside and outwork him. Khan don't fight inside he kinda just holds on for the ref to break.

Khan is quicker but devon is sharper, im very interested in this fight!

[John Barron]

khan can move his hands faster but his form is atrocious. raw speed is all he has in mind when he's throwing those pitty pat arm punches. sure he looks quicker but guys like gary russel jr, rigo, or prime pacquiao are more well rounded with their speed.

I can't really see any case for Devon being sharper than Khan. He's not a sharp puncher at all.

alexander/karrass is a good example of how sharp alexander is, his technique is far better then khans imo... agree to disagree

[BodiesInFlight]

Devon is faster.

[Hype job]

Timing beats speed, so you never know especially with Devon who is an excellent fighter.

Khan's speed would be important to land the straight right, which is key against south paws, so his speed will allow him to find home, but he needs to box and stay calm. No need to be a macho man because people will never appreciate Khan even if he crosses over to MMA and beats their WW champ in UFC.

I think that's different kinds of speed. In terms of combination punching, Khan and Russel Jr are probably the fastest. In terms of single shots/counter punches Rigondeaux is perhaps the best.

Russel Jr has fake shoeshine slappy speed. No extension whatsoever on those punches, it's more showy than effective.
