[Daddy T]

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya credits Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) with having the fastest hands in the division, and says he is much faster than Floyd Mayweather Jr. and even Manny Pacquiao.

Top Rank is trying to get Mayweather in the ring with Manny Pacquiao. And De La Hoya doing his best to get Mayweather in the ring with Khan.

To turn hand speed into power you need good foot speed, which Khan doesn't have.

Manny is blessed with super foot speed. He is able to shift his weight and move in from a far distance and punch at the same time he lands make full use of his body and momentum to deliver quick and powerful punches.

"faster...by far"

Really Oscar? Really? In this promotion business, you've got to learn to bull****...within reason!

Regardless, Amir's combination speed is from a swimmer's action. A drowning, floundering freestyler! Looks ridiculous.

It does look terrible, but it lands and is awkward to block. His left hand has a funny hook motion that could be a jab and his right has a tight swing. Very hard to judge when his punches come because he is so fast, so at times you gotta just go wild on him.

I have no doubt that Peterson took drugs not prescribed by his doctor. People seem to forget that it was synthetic that was found, and the doctor gave natural testosterone. Not many can sustain the workrate or take Khan's punches after punch without cheating.

Khan isn't even in the top 10 fastest fighters ever.

I remember a Khantard on another site saying that Khan is faster than Hector Camacho, Meldrick Taylor, or prime RJJ.

I love how you *******s just cannot accept any criticism of your mini-god. No matter how true/factual. Khan is 100% faster than Manny, and way better technically skilled than Manny. Does Manny have a better chin? Sure. Does Manny maybe have better footwork? Sure. But just admit when someone is better at something than your little steroid machine. I mean Khan admits his weaknesses so hey. Remember one thing about Khan though, sure he was KOed a few times. He was never outboxed though. Peterson came close and that was a good fight but he was never outboxed. Manny has been outboxed how many times? JMM outboxed him all 4 times. Morales outboxed him in the 1st fight too. So quit your little crying that someone is better at something or faster than Ped-midget. Khan is faster than Floyd 100%, I admit that every day. But that doesn't mean he can beat Floyd, nor even Pacquiao.

OK OSCAR?

But your Fighter has ZERO CHIN and we know Pacquiao Power!

Pacquiao Leaves Khan Laying Flat Like:


Why are people talking about Khan Speed like it is something "NEW" Khan had when Prescott knocked his ass out, also had a huge speed advantage vs Danny Garcia

[Nomadic]

Khan do have speed, in and out. I'm not a Pac fan, but Pac got that HD 3D speed. Angles that you can't and don't train to expect to get hit from.
