Over the course of the fight, his speed drops noticeably.
Later in fights, you notice that manny's and floyd's opponents are still troubled by their speed. Even more so. But last night, a slow-ish fighter was able to keep pace and then start timing Con as Con slowed down
But still, Con is a very talented fighter physically. but like most British fighters, he lacks chin and/or intestinal fortitude.

Rounds 1-4 Amir's handspeed is slightly faster than Manny. However Manny is able to carry his speed from rounds 1-12. Not only is Manny able to do that, but also have his power behind all of his combinations.
Amir, while his hands are indeed fast, isn't able to put alot of his power behind them (ala Gamboa) and doesn't have the ability the change his punches up in the middle of combinations like Pacquiao.
Also Manny's timing is better as well as his accurancy. Khan is improving a lot though.....but right now I would have the give the overall handspeed nod to Manny.

Freddie openly says Khan is quicker than Manny so I find it quite amusing when persons whom haven't as much as seen them both in the flesh let alone be they're day in day out trainers, try to claim otherwise.
Amir's the quickest in the sport right now, no doubt.
