meldrick taylor springs to mind when you talk about fast.. theree have been plenty of lightning fighters over the years but it depends on how the speed is used....zab judah had excellent speed but you get the feeling that he never exploited its full potential,and maybe that he relied on it too much to the detriment of fulling developing other aspects of his boxing

You can't be serious? Barrera was 'dominated' by his own gore pouring into his eyes and blinding him for five rounds, thanks to a clash of heads in the opening 60 seconds. As for Khan being "one of the fastest fighters in the history of boxing", give me a bit of what you're smoking.

Had the cut not occurred, how do you think the fight would have played out?

Maybe he is one of the fastest fastest fighters in history, maybe he is not, at the end of the day how could we ever know? In hindsight that was quite a bold statement, its so speculative, but the basic point is he's fast, very very fast! I'm no Khan nuthugger, he's doing a lot better than i ever thought he would, but his speed has always been evident to me, the kid is greased lightning!

I'd say whatever it is that your smoking is clouding your judgement.

Might as well let Graham Earl fight Katsidas on this bill too
