Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Breaks Down Speed vs. Power Fights of The Past

[-PBP-]

May 8th can't come soon enough. I'm more excited about the aftermath than the actual fight.

This is low. I don't care what you are selling, comparing Amir Khan to Muhammad Ali is not cool.

Oscar your putting all these Fights speed vs Power how come you didn't put Floyd beat me with his speed while my power just couldn't land a clean blow

[HandsofIron]

sure Oscar, I'll play along

Foreman vs Ali
- same weight class
- Ali had iron jaw at this point
- youre not really comparing Khan to Ali ... cant be


SRL vs Hagler
- comparing Khan to SRL.... ok
- SRL had an iron jaw
- SRL had an amazing record at 147, khan, not so much
- Hagler was in his 30s, last fight. Nelo is 25


Taylor vs Chavez
- Chavez was the one who moved up from 135
- so how does this fit?
- anyways, taylor almost won, the arguably larger and faster guy

DLH vs Ike
- disputed win
- same weight division
- DLH had an iron jaw

DLH v Vargas
- vargas already KTFO by trinidad
- Nelo never been KTFO
- by the way DLH had power, khan not so much
- ditto DLH way better chin than Khan

DLH and Ali, iron jaws? Nope

Leonard and Hagler were iron jawed.

I'm glad Oscar is saying pretty much that speed kills power... If he was saying that Canelo was going to make Khan do the noodle dance I would be worried, because any advice or thing he says in the media , the absolute opposite happens... ALL THE TIME!

Anyways... Canelo wasn't able to catch Mayweather with a good punch... I hope he has learned from that fight... otherwise I do believe Khan has a chance if he just rides his bike the entire fight , and just coming in once in a while to score.... that's how I see Khan fighting... I see Virgil Hunter begging him and threatening him to leave his stable if he doesn't play defense the entire fight.... if Khan has the balls , still... because we know that even hurt he likes to trade... if he trades with Canelo, it will be the most brutal KO of his life... But he will play it safe...
