AMIR KHAN was last night branded an arrogant boaster who is going nowhere fast.
Devon Alexander is sick of hearing the Bolton born star talking up the prospect of a multi-million pound super fight with Floyd Mayweather BEFORE he's had the chance to knock him down.
The St Louis southpaw reckons if anyone is going to get a shot at the best on the planet it will be him - and he's going to prove it by destroying Khan here on Saturday night.

Maidana got the Floyd fight based solely on his win over Broner. If Khan beats Devon, he will enter the Floyd fight off a win over a guy who is clearly better than Broner (and kicked Maidana's a.ss). But Maidana was a better fight because he had a paper title at the time? Don't make me laugh.
Is Floyd vs Khan #1 on my wishlist? No. Do I think the self-proclaimed TBE should be fighting the Khan's or Devon's of the world? No. All I'm saying is that if you didn't think Floyd's last four fights were disgraceful, it's hypocritical to act all outraged now. Floyd vs Khan or Devon is the standard fare, not any better or worse than Floyd's opp in the last two years.
In hindsight all of Floyds opponents of the past were bad. Miadana made it a close fight and had Mayweather on the ropes in the first fight. Miadana is always dangerous idc who he fights. Cotto was a dangerous fighter and had a title when he fought Mayweather. Many experts and sports insiders were calling for Canelo to upset Mayweather and this fight was seen as a very dangerous fight for Mayweather. Canelo came in with a terrible gameplan and if he had a different gameplan, he probably could've made it interesting. Canelo was the champ at the time as well.
GTFO Floyd vs Khan or Devon is a MAJOR step down compared to who Floyd has been fighting in recent years.
I still can't believe Mayweather fought Robert fookin Guerrero :lol1:
How was that allowed to happen?
That was the week Mayweather decided he honors mandatory defenses.
Funny, how the parameter of discussion changes regarding belts depending on how it serves one's agenda.
When I say Malignaggi went on to become a World champion after losing to Khan ie wasn't shot when Khan beat him I hear "oh buh he beat a paper champ". Yet you can beat someone like Alexander and just cuz he doesn't have a belt it all of sudden makes the fight irrelevant.
Guerrero fight was stupid
Canelo-was a unified champ at 154 and the ring champ-how was that not sa good fight?
Maidana-was a fellow ww champ..how is fighting other champions not good??

Cotto is the lineal mw champion and not a real mw...that is why we mention it man...No one will claim Floyd is the best mw because he is not even a mw
So lets cherry pick the guy that Floyd beat just so Floyd fans can say, like they did with Baldomir, ...... Floyd beat the lineal champ at MW. So that makes Floyd the lineal champ at MW .....
but was Floyd willing to do this before or after being the lineal champ:
Take all comers at WW? Manny? No
Take all comers at JMW? Sergio Martinez, P. Williams, GGG coming down? No
Take all comers at MW? GGG? No
Floyd took the easy route and you are agreeing that Floyd should continue to do so! Pathetic!!!!
See Floyd fans keep on doing it.
- "It would be awesome if Floyd can fight Cotto for the MW title"
- "Floyd is too small to fight GGG. Even at a CW"
Cotto is the lineal mw champion and not a real mw...that is why we mention it man...No one will claim Floyd is the best mw because he is not even a mw
Then I guess Floyd's career has been a fvcking disgrace for the last couple of years.
For the umpteenth time, Floyd fighting the Khan vs Devon winner won't be any more disgraceful than fighting Guerrero, Canelo or Maidana.
The Manny fight isn't any more realistic now than it was over the last couple of years (whoever's fault that is), so getting all outraged that Floyd is fighting someone else now is kind of hypocritical and reeks of Khan hate.
As for the Cotto MW "lineal" title fight, that would be Floyd's worst cherry pick ever. If he wants the MW title that badly, why didn't he challenge a prime Martinez? The fight was there for the taking. If he wants the recognition as the best MW in the world, why doesn't he fight GGG? Beating a past-prime blown up jr. MW who won the title from the corpse of Martinez won't make Floyd the MW champ. It would only enhance his already considerable legacy as a cherry picker.
Guerrero fight was stupid
Canelo-was a unified champ at 154 and the ring champ-how was that not sa good fight?
Maidana-was a fellow ww champ..how is fighting other champions not good??
neither of you have...if either of you get the fight it will be a fvcking disgrace...Floyd has 2 fights left
1-Manny to unify the ww titles
2-Cotto for the lineal mw title
then he can retire 200 million richer and with another lineal title and 2 more world titles on his resume

Lets wait and see the picture will be clearer by Sunday morning as it stands Khan being mentioned at Welterweight top level is stupid.He's had ONE fight against a way over the hill alchy and is now fighting a decent welter but who many think has had his day...FACT !
I still can't believe Mayweather fought Robert fookin Guerrero :lol1:
How was that allowed to happen?
Easy. Guerrero beat Aydan and Berto.
Aydan has been around the bottom of the WW top 10 for years (shows how top heavy the division was/is) and had some recognition as the guy Berto ducked.
Berto had been shoved down our throat for years and we were told so many times that he was the next big thing that the Ortiz loss wasn't enough to convince us otherwise.
Plus Guerrero had a nice backstory.
Floyd vs Guerrero looks much worse in hindsight. At the time it was considered kind of OK if not great. Definitely wasn't as hated as Manny vs Algieri.

Two on this contract , Floyd will be fighting well beyond that .The man spends too quickly.Certainly agree with Manny no one else matters!

Pot, meet kettle.
Alexander is coming off an absolute beat down, but he would deserve a Mayweather fight for beating a guy who has 'done nothing'?
This fight should lead to a fight with Thurman, Bradley or Brook.
Absolutely, These two are damaged goods not up and coming unbeaten fighters , the winner to fight any one of the above mentioned three the loser obscurity.

Truth.
The idea that this might be an eliminator for a Mayweather fight is why I hate boxing far too often.
