You Khan fans are a delusional as ever. When Devon outboxes him and possibly even stops him you guys will have a bag full of excuses ranging from blaming Vergil Hunter's training methods to Amir Khan being new to the weight class. Tell you what, when Khan loses go straight to a mirror look at yourself in it and repeat the words "Amir Khan is not a good fighter, at no point in time was he ever a good fighter". Do this as many times as needed to finally come to term with this fact.
I'm not a Khan fan, I just know Devon Alexander is dogshit... Put it this way, Alexander beats Khan, than Khan sucks and probably always did... If Khan beats Alexander, than nothing will change...
The guy broke the record for most boring fight, with least punches thrown, in history... He's only good against brawlers, that's the only time u see his "skills" shine, but really all it is... Jab Jab straight, HUG... He's never been in an exciting fight
Khan is going to overwhelm him, and his one dimensional ass isn't going to have a single answer for Khan's speed
Not really.
I've stated many times that I do not rate Khan, I think any decent fighter at 147 with some power should hurt and stop Khan. His chin has got even worse in the last 12-18 months.

When has Khan ever been outboxed?
Devon Alexander is certainly not the person to do that. Though his jab, scream, grab tactics might work. who knows?

Khan will have a chance against a softer puncher, which is why I always wanted to see Bradley vs. Khan, that was the superfight at 140 man. I think Khan could actually beat bradley. Then again, diaz almost put the lights out on him. We'll just have to see what happens. I don't expect devon to dominate him.
Alexander has all the advantages that pertain to boxing except for speed and that advantage only favor's Khan slightly.
Speed Of hand? Also speed of foot. Heart too. Has a better jab, tries better combinations, probably punches harder as well. He stings his opponents - Alexander has Bradley esque power. Alexander has the best defense, and a better chin. That's about it.
Devon's hands are just as fast as Khans. Something Khan is not used to dealing with. I believe Devon hits harder. Khan has terrible defense. All this equals up to Khan charging in like he always does and getting put on his ass by a power left hand. Dont be shocked if he eats some uppercuts as well.
Sorry mate, no he hasn't.
Khan barely won against a ready to retire Julio Diaz...how is he going to beat Alexander again? Khan is going to get outworked by the more athletic, stronger boxer. Like Khan is a true 147 boxer either? Khan is going to need a lot of whispering in his corner from Hunter while he is getting it handed to him just like Berto.
To answer ur first question... Styles my friend... Its simply a matter of styles
Diaz is the perfect style to land big left hooks on an aggressive combination puncher like Khan... Khan steps in too long against a polished inside fighter, the left hook will land
And a surprise leaping left hook like the one that put him down is again something that only a fighter like Julio Diaz could do to a fighter like Khan
Alexander is a defensive one dimensional, Jab Jab straight fighter, easy to figure out, way slower and surprisingly easy to hit considering how "athletic" he is
Never said Khan was a true 147 fighter, which makes this fight a 140lbs fight being fought at 147
Khan is going to piece Alexander up with fast combinations, Alexander's going to try and land his jab jab straight combination, which Khan will avoid with his much more athletic, faster feet. All night
And Alexander can't punch for shit, so there's no chance really
Khan is going to look really good in this fight... Alexander as a "true 147" fighter is the same as saying Judah was a true 147 fighter...
I'd be extremely shocked if Alexander landed a straight left, or a right hook that hurt Khan bad enough for him to get the victory
Khan and Alexander have the same style, Khan is just better at everything (but clinching)

True, they are more deserving guys to get a crack at a belt,,,,
they are obviously trying to groom khan for a floyd fight,,, they have been for years,,,
that damn peterson and garcia foiled there plans,, thats why they have been fed to lucas
I agree with this as well..
Khan is going to beat him senseless, so yeah, I'll give Alexander plenty of credit for getting his a$$ kicked.
If Khan loses, will you sport a picture of Khan KO'd in the corner as your avi?

I agree with this whole post..:fing02:
I'll give him credit. Khan just isn't as good as he thinks he is but he's still a formidable opponent. He gets ****y and gets caught, like in his last fight. I think he will be cautious in this fight early on but get outworked and possibly dropped again. I don't think he will open up enough to get KO'd cold but he will definitely get it handed to him.
lots of people still riding with khan, clearly. this might not be the most exciting matchup on paper, but i'm def looking forward to it. i'll give credit to either guy that wins. rooting for alexander, but i'm okay with khan taking it. hopefully it's a good fight.

I personally would have greater respect if it were Karass or Thurman..Guy's who campaigned at the weight..

Its a huge fight for both guys,,,,
khan is a huge fan favorite and a win would put him in the floyd sweepstakes,,,,
Alexander just doesnt excite the masses, but a win here would propel him as he would hold legit wins over maidana and khan....

Who do you think wins??
I'd take Khan,I know he's not looked good recently..I just favor his style in this fight..I'd say pick um kinda fight tbh,but if I had to bet money..My money would be on Khan by decision..
