Kevin Cunningham, the manager of IBF/WBC junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander, reached out to BoxingScene.com to respond to comments made by WBA champion Amir Khan.
BoxingScene's Mark Vester ran a story in which Khan said among other things that Alexander has obvious weaknesses. "After watching the last fight of Alexander, there are a lot of weaknesses. I think Maidana has more than the other two [Bradley and Alexander]....skill, heart, everything."
Cunningham, who has never been shy to say what is on his mind had this to say in response to Khan's comments, "The reason that Devon and Tim are making this fight now is because punks like Khan wouldn't fight them."
Cunningham found it laughable that Khan called Maidana the number two junior welterweight in the world and also found it funny that all of a sudden now that Bradley and Alexander agreed to fight each other that Khan is talking smack about both fighters.
"Now that you have the number one junior welterweight in the world in Bradley fighting the number two junior welterweight in Alexander, Khan is talking sh*t."
Cunningham finished up by telling Boxingscene that he had a perfect sponsor for Amir Khan for his upcoming bout with Marcos Maidana.
"Reebok likes to sponsor runners and on December 11th Khan will be Reebok's number one track star."
