Khan: Alexander is a Bigger Puncher Than Mayweather

By Edward Chaykovsky

British star Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) is not worried about the punching power or the workrate of WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs).

Khan is a much busier fighter and also considers himself to be the stronger puncher, with the quicker hands, at the weight.

Last Saturday night, Khan dominated former two-division world champion Devon Alexander over twelve rounds for a wide unanimous decision. Khan was able to walk through most of Alexander's landed punches and expects Mayweather's shots to have less steam on them.

"Mayweather throws maybe three hundred punches in a fight, I could manage that in a single round. Floyd will never hurt me. I have been knocked down in other fights but Mayweather is not the biggest puncher, not as big as Alexander. Our fight would be like a game of chess, hit-move. It would be about footwork and accuracy, nothing more, nothing less," Khan said.
