Khan does go 100mph. But he does not change the speed of his punches. Every punch looks to be the same. Something i have heard Roy Jones say about great fighters they throw different punches at different speeds making them harder to time. Just like baseball a pitcher cant always throw the a fast ball for every pitch.

Basic boxing, use variety otherwise you're predictable. No matter how fast you are, if you stay the same you'll get timed. Same thing with GRJ and Loma.

Good point. One reason GGGs power punches find their target is that he keeps changing the rhythm and sometimes seems to delay just enough to confuse the opponent. Speed without control means very little.

Most great fighters with speed normally possess power to hurt you and they also choose the moment on when to dazzle you and unload lighting quick Combinations....if your look at Jones or Leonard they always picked the right moment to a be speedster and also moments when they would sit down on there lunches and really hurt you ....punch selection and variation ( with Khan is 1,2,3,4 and then pulls back ) and ring IQ are things Khan has none of...plus he has no chin because that is the critical thing .....he's simply not good enough

Wow. This comment section is actually about boxing. Thought I´d never see the day.

Bread says " Canelo is hard to win a decision against. Extremely hard. It’s something about his judge friendly punches that influences the judges in his favor." while that's politically correct, let's call it what it is. Outright bias for the Mexican fighter who is perceived to be the future money maker of the sport. Canelo doesn't have 1 shady scorecard on his record. He has multiple.

Canelo comes into fights with a judge in his pocket

So to get a decision against him you have to make it so overwhelmingly clear you won, that the judges wouldn't dare choose Canelo. And as we seen with the Mayweather loss, that won judge will still pick Canelo.

I think boxing may need 1 more judge. There are 4 sides to a ring, so there should be judges on all 4 sides of the ring.
