Why Didn't Khan's Speed Beat Canelo?

[VG_Addict]

Because timing beats speed.

Also, Khan doesn't have the ring IQ to go with his speed, and he's predictable.

Speed was doing fine and was beating Canelo until Canelo landed a great punch.

There is no realistic scenario where Khan won the 4th or 5th round. Let's stop the 5-0, 4-1 Khan nonsense, because that's all it is is nonsense.

Khan's speed didn't win him the fight because Khan's speed means nothing without the skill to back it up. The best fighters will always time that speed. Alvarez timed the speed, beat his ass, and then knocked him out.

[bojangles1987]

This is why I hate that Khan's chin is wet tissue paper, because he gets knocked out so easily that everyone can continue this delusion that he can't be outboxed. "He was winning until he got hit with one big punch."

Yeah, whatever.

Has NOTHING to do with his Chin! Khan has **** Reflexes, Vision and Timing!

I been saying this for awhile before finding this video of his trainer Virgil Hunter talking about him having "Serious Eye Issues":



I'm no trainer or expert but I notice this even going back to Prescott fight, it is like he doesn't react to punches that is coming back at him. When he throws punches he just neglects everything Defensively and leave that chin WIDE OPEN

It is natural reflexes for the body to flinch and embrace for impact but with Khan because he doesn't see what is coming and usually that is when he gets drop by stuff he doesn't see coming. I see the exact same flaw in guys like David Price, Thomas Dulorme and Glenn Tapia have the exact same issue. Very stuff from stiff guys with no flexiblity from the waist up. Just no vision, reflexes or timing.

khan was only up on one card.

[tangalog2200]

Because Canelo has the knowledge of distance and timing and thats something Khan has an issue of maintaining discipline of

yes, amir got careless...

he was doing well before he got caught...

then, as expected, bye bye....

[Combat Talk Radio]

Well, because....

Because khan has never been impossible to find and has no chin?
