    I'm not a racist by any means but the English prop their fighters up to a pedestal that the fighters rarely reach. Ricky Hatton and Lennox Lewis are the only two in recent memory.
    Of course Froch showed alot of heart against Taylor, thats what the English are known for, heart before talent.
    Khan is different, hes been propped up by his fans and seems genuinely deserving of it, hes a great young boxer with alot of talent but he seems to lack the age old English attitude to fight the best and fight till the end. I think King is on the money with the reason Khan left Warren, he didnt want to fight Alexander.

        I dunno you know that'll be a tough fight, but, i am not even 100% sure Alexander gets past Urango at this point, and Urango could be a nightmare opponent for Khan, he is tough, string, powerful, out of all the champs at 140, Urango is most dangerous to Khan. IMO.

          Urango would be a much dangerous fight for Khan than Alexanda for sure but i think Alexander will beat Urango so cant se the fight happening.

          Alexander v Khan would be a close fight but i just cant see Khan losing the fight

            I'd love to see it, but with Alexander as champion, i'd like to see Khan / Alexander in a few years, when they are both more established.

              i havnt seen much of Alexanda except the Witter fight. He's got great potential and will go far.

              it has the potential to be huge in 2/3 years time. Even now Khan could make a couple million from the fight but in 2/3 years time he can look at atleast triple that

                    Khan will soon have no where to run or hide. I think he's sitting back and relaxing so Freddie can carefully pick his opponent for him. His fans seem to have more confidence in him than Golden Boy.

                      I think Khan is going to face Devon. Im almost 100 percent sure of it. I just dont think that Devon will beat Urango though...My god is that guy a tank or what at 140?!?!
