So Khan gets Mr. Featherfisted while Alexander gets the puncher?

[KJB]

Let's see what Khan defenders have to say about this. Alexander has less fights than Khan if I remember right, and he is fighting a better opponent than Khan is. On the undercard probably nontheless. The Alexander-Maidana fight should be the main event. Everybody chime in.

Paulie Malignaggi > Marcos Maidana as far as ranking and relevance goes. Marcos may be a worse style match up, but Paulie is much more proven in the division.
Of course you wouldnt see it that way, because your a daft bimbo.

Khan already proved he can't handle punchers while Alexander hasn't proved anything against a puncher.

Khan made Prescott look like prime Tyson.

I dont know Witter can hit a bit, see Vivian Harris.

Amir Khan is no where near being a "Big Name"

Not in America, not yet, have you seen huge crowds for Maidana and Alexander ? Can they headline an event and draw huge crowds the way Khan can in his home country ?

Khan has star quality, bro, what ends up happenin' I don't know.

He can, but I wouldn't say Witter's knockout over Harris proves he's a puncher. He has a good punch, but from what I've seen his KO's are more from his speed.

Maidana seems to be a one punch knockout type fighter. The heavy handed Colombian type (FYI I know he's not Colombian). Just my 2.

Let me explain something to you my ignorant friend. Amir Khan is a big name in boxing. Devon Alexander isnt a big name in boxing. Paulie Malignaggi is a big name in boxing. Marcos Maidana isnt a big name in boxing.

Why would Amir Khan fight Maidana for less money and little USA exposure when he can fight Malignaggi for more money and more USA exposure?

Amir would tap Maidanas ass if the fight would happen. Alexander is a no name and HBO practicly ordered Alexander to fight Maidana if he wants to come on HBO television.

Quoted for truth.

I don't know why Maidana is getting so much hype, he lost to Kotelnik FFS. Khan would easily outbox him. Maidana is a good puncher but he's got nothing else and boxers with power alone usually fail when they get in the ring with a skilled fighter. Malignaggi is a much more interesting fight IMO. Khan has been put down by a so called feather fisted fighter before and i wouldn't be too shocked if Malignaggi hurt him.

To be fair, it was a close fight.

And like you said yourself, those with power usually fail against a skilled fighter.

It's by no means guaranteed to happen.
