      I reckon Khan is faster than Pacquiao - end of debate.

        Crawford is a better combination puncher with a more lethal killer streak than Floyd ever was and is probably just as quick in single shots. However, his footwork is slower and he takes a few more shots, then again, that is down to him going to look for the kill, rather than simply skip his way for 12 rounds.
        You probably didn't watch Pretty Boy Floyd. Those were the days before his hands got brittle.

          Geta high quality recording and not some stream and rewatch. He was as fast as he needed to be. It just wasn't visibly impressive as horn has no form and is sloppy looking, but Crawfords distance gauging just slight head movements etc and and the stinging accurate returns were fast and very very good. Reminded me of when would rewatch mayweather whom I always wanted to criticise as I just disliked him but who really looked so ****ing good in the slowed down high quality compared to during the live broadcasts. Sure he was only fighting Jeff Horn but doesnt change it.

            Khan was faster than Floyd and Pacquiao but speed isn't everything. Crawford has a lot of tools in his box that can make him a great.

                  ... yes... and he's also ambidextrous -- which is weak, of course...

                      And he has a glass chin.

                      Why do you think they match him so carefully?
