Amir Khan's handspeed

[MON]

Where does it rank amongst the current crop of fighters?

[196osh]

Highly, he puts his punch's together well also.

[stake501]

the double jab he admittedly copied from mayweather, and it looks like a great itmitation.

[peter5]

Got to be up there, hes pretty damn quick

[196osh]

the double jab he admittedly copied from mayweather, and it looks like a great itmitation.

Mayweather does not jab very much. He throw's lead rights more than he jabs. The double jab is much more like what Calzaghe does.

[Relentless]

he looks fast because he doesn't put his body behind the punches, he does pitter patter shots.

[196osh]

I agree. But I think he has good pop when he actually plants his feet.

Obviously this is not the best analogy, but he punch's a bit like Leonard in the way he will throw 3 60% shots and then a big one at the end.

[robpalmer135]

top 10 easy

[LeadLeftHook]

He's very fast, probably the fastest of the current crop of prospects. Berto and Khan both have impressive hand speed.

.....a jab is a jab wtf are you talking about man??? :patsch

[randeris]

.....a jab is a jab wtf are you talking about man??? :patsch

probably the way he throws the double jab.

[mattress]

.....a jab is a jab wtf are you talking about man??? :patsch

He's obviously an FMJ fanboy. He thinks a double jab is copyrighted by the arsehole.

[Illmatic]

top 10 easy

definitely. RJJ, Mayweather, Zab, then probably Amir.

I'd say gamboa was faster, i'd have them 2 in the top 5 p4p with floyd, zab and RJJ with calzaghe just behind them

[Sonny Carson]

Vernon Paris is just as fast as Khan and he doeesn't pitty patty shots. It's just that he doesn't get the worldwide coverage Khan get's.

[rodney]

Put Khan with Malignaggi.
Too boxers who cant fight.
Not impressed.

[Relentless]

malignaggi would ko khan.

[196osh]

malignaggi would ko khan.

:rofl:rofl :rofl

God love you Relentless. Paulie could not crack an egg, Khan's chin is at least glass.

Glass>Egg

[196osh]

i know malliganaji can't punch with power. but khan can't take a punch with power. he looked stunned against a featherweight last night. i don't think mallignaji has the one punch KO power but if he keeps hitting him flush, then the number of punches thrown might hurt khan as he has no defence and hangs his chin out. i can't see the fight happenin as malliganji is on showtime but it would be a good fight and Khan would get beat easily.

Paulie has had 5 KO's in his whole carrier, the best guy he stopped had a record of 18-2 when Paulie fought him and has been stopped 5 times in his carrer:good

He realy cant punch.

[Relentless]

:rofl:rofl :rofl

how did willie limond manage to have khan out on his feet?

[196osh]

how did willie limond manage to have khan out on his feet?

Read above post. And lucky punch.

[196osh]

he cant punch but Khan can't take a punch. he has fought shit opposition with no punching power and has allready been down twice in his carrear.

Paulie just hits that poorly. He realy cannot punch at all, even to worry Khan. I am not saying Khan would win but there would be very little chance of him being stopped against Paulie.

[Scar]

Top 10, no doubt.

[Amsterdam]

Khan's chin is grade A china.

[MON]

The more Khan grows into the weight, the less chinny he'll be IMO.

I think the weight training he's doing will help, the stronger he is, particularly in his legs, the better he'll take a shot.

I can't believe after one legitimate knockdown he's being called china chinned, good job ESB wasn't around/People like Hopkins and Pac weren't in the spotlight when they were getting beat by shite fighters and floored......they'd have been written off in no time.

[Relentless]

malignaggi hits harder than limond.

[196osh]

Khan's chin is grade A china.

Paulie just hits just about hard enough to well, do nothing. The guy has nothing in the power dept. He realy just hits that hard.

Also you can crack an egg easier than you can crack china :yep.

[Amsterdam]

Vernon Paris is just as fast as Khan and he doeesn't pitty patty shots. It's just that he doesn't get the worldwide coverage Khan get's.

He's not an extremely marketable, former 17 year old medalist.

If Khan didn't so happen to win the world medal at 17, nobody would care and he'd be brought up like any normal fighter and get starched, or he'd have stayed amatuer and developed better, only to turn pro better overall.

This nonsense with him has been overkill to the highest degree. The Limond fight ended some of it, but it's starting to creep back in due to careful opponent selection to appease the majority of the unknowledgable public.

People ought to hype Yuriorkis Gamboa, an amatuer phenom who has transferred over his ability professionally.

[196osh]

malignaggi hits harder than limond.

Look at the records of the people Paulie has stopped. I wouldnt say you could prove it either way, :good

[Relentless]

yes he does, the only reason willie limond has the ko's he does is because of his poor competition, malignaggi too would have ko'd guys like ryan barret.

[196osh]

Limond would too have KO'd Anthony Simpkins and Kevin Watts, Paulie's best two KO's :good

limond is a small lightweight so i doubt that

ask yourself this can khan give cotto a tough fight and last the 12 like malignaggi did?

[196osh]

Could he fuck, :lol:

But that is nothing to do with how hard Paulie hits, that is due to the fact he has a great chin, can take a punch and throw back. Or at least he could, dont know if Cotto may have "ruined" him, that would be shit.

[Amsterdam]

I've watched his fights. Paulie is not a puncher, but his chronic hand problems had him fighting with 1 hand for a majority of his fights.

He's dropped N'dou, something Limond never would do.

TKO'd a few guys who we're average chinned, stunned a few others.

Stunned Cotto.

He's no puncher, but he's also not a feather fist when he winds the right hand up and that right hand is more than enough to put baby Khan away, from the evidence that we've analysed in his pathetic fights.

And damn, not to mention, Limond's a super featherweight naturally, Malignaggi's a junior welter, BIG difference.

[Relentless]

that wasn't the question bitch. you said mallignaji punches harder than Limmond. where the fuck has cotto come from.

aaaww someones getting alittle touchy, by the way fool i'm talking to 196osh not you, if you really want me to blow my load over your face again keep talking.

He has not TKO'd anybody with a average chin.

Thadeus Parker 0-1 KO'd once, his only fight.
Robert Sowers 5-4 KO'd twice.
Anthony Simpkins 10-7 KO'd Six times
Kevin Watts 18-7 KO'd Six times.
Sandro Casamonica Was a TD, dont know the details.

Paul realy cannot punch.

The only thing that was true was the Superfeather, junior welter comparison. But realy he cannot crack an egg.

[Relentless]

malignaggi does hit harder than natural super feather willie limond, limmond who made khan call him abba.

[196osh]

Khan broke Limonds Jaw. That was the reason he could only say "abba" :good

[john b]

Mallinaggi v Khan would be a good fight but I think khan his faster than him and hits harder, I maybe a bit biased there because I only saw mallinaggi fight with herman and bits of the cotto fight. I know khan gots a problem with his chin but if mallinaggi would want to beatkhan he would have to out box which his easier said than done.

[196osh]

do you know that in Khans parents language 'abba' means dad. LOL NO SHIT

Didnt know that, shit Relentless said something bright :lol:

Indeed. :good

[kurt2006]

Khan is fast but too many pitta patta punches which lack any real power.

[Outboxer]

So true.

I wish you would stop going on about this bullshit, gamboa is hyped to fuck and he is 26 so he has quite a few years on kahn. He is also won a medal at the same games as kahn in a weaker division and has done less in his pro career so far even though kahn is 5 years younger. So what is your big problem with kahn.:huh

[Relentless]

LOL that bitch has gon very quiet.

i'm still here Waqas.
