Maidana made Khan look like a *****, Freddie wanted to throw the towel in, cortez helped Khan survive and not to mention the dude just got knocked out 3 fights ago, in no way should anyone think Khan is above Bradley considering he has dominated everyone who has came his way. I am a Devon fan flat out, did he quit yea, but god damn that head of Bradley, but Devon was doing a good job boxing Bradley, but the pressure got to him. Going back to the drawing board and come back stronger Devon, I believe Khan should have to fight Devon after his April fight before anyone considers him getting in the ring with Desert Storm

I agree with the writer that the superfight was kind of a let-down but I believe it was mostly because of Alexander's refusal to engage. His quittage at the end left a bad taste in the mouth of many people.
Bradley-Khan is definitely the top fight in the division but I wouldn't call it an "easy" fight for either fighter. Still 50-50, IMO.

After months of breathless anticipation, the big night finally arrives.
The venue is secured. The atmosphere is constructed. The mood is perfected.
In some cases, the money has even changed hands.
But on the morning after, you’re left to re-live pedestrian loops of missionary in place of the riotous soft-core highlights you’d planned for.
In the end, it makes for an unsatisfying walk of shame, without even the tawdry taste of conquest.
And in terms of boxing, it’s the same feeling many gleaned from a ho-hum Saturday in Michigan.
There in the Silverdome-pocked city of Pontiac, a fight prematurely branded as “classic in the making” wound up far too similar to the run-of-the-mill dreck available every weekend in a local ballroom.
Over nine-plus rounds of inglorious combat between America’s two best 140-pounders, few things were proven more certainly than 1) TV’s ability to make an empty lot look full; 2) Don King’s unchallenged status as the game’s most egregious promoter; and 3) Amir Khan’s emergence as the genuine man to beat in the division between Pacquiao and Marquez.
Regardless of who attempted more punches and landed more shots – or whether Devon Alexander could have actually continued after the last of Tim Bradley’s patented “left-right-skull” combos in the 10th – none of what else transpired in the ring approached what the once-beaten 24-year-old U.K. native would surely deliver if matched with either pretender.
Toward that end, British-based color man Jim Watt – whose Scottish brogue was among the few things that made Saturday’s Sky Sports stream worth enduring on a balky Internet connection – was quick to question the reluctant Alexander’s real motive for not enduring until the final bell.
