    To you & or Khan/Floyd sympathizers. But in reality & on paper it really isn't. Devon may have lost to kotelnik who Khan beat at 140, yes.

    But at 147 Devon made a splash & will probably be relieving Bailey of a strap here in the near future. Devon made his splash by thoroughly dominating the fighter that almost made Khan his cumm dumpster btw.

      he made a splash at 147 by beating maidana, a 140 fighter. excuse me if im not exactly excited about that. since then he hasnt done much at 147 either. alexander and khan are the same level of fighter to me. making it seem like one is vastly superior to the other is ludicrous because neither are that good. the only difference being khan brings more money and a different segment of fight fans, therefore hes the better fight.

      i mean who would be thrilled about a mayweather/alexander fight?? id be just as thrilled about a mayweather/khan fight. big whoop.

        Light Speed...

        I think Khan would be a good tuneup prior to Pac.


        1. Khan is fast like Pac.

        2. Khan has modeled his game after Manny...maybe not exactly, but anyone watching can see the similaries.

        3. Pac and Khan have same trainer.


        Khan and Pac both fast punchers with a lot of punch output. Khan tends to fade late whereas Manny does not. And I'm not saying Khan is as good as Manny ...or as much of a warrior, but again, imo, there are similarites.

          Who said anything about (vastly superior)?? I said Alexander as of right now is the better welterweight period. That's a fact btw.

          LOL at (Khan being the better fighter because he brings more money & a different segment of fight fans).

          That like saying ginger is better than Martinez because of the same, lol Ok. Like I said Khan is better only to Floyd/Khan sympathizers.

            Too premature to say, at one point people were saying he would be fighting Erik Morales, the ghost, etc etc.

                You're right he did say better fight. Preceded by (He's).

                  once again, hes the better ww based on??? beating maidana??? ur argument is hollow. honestly u really dont have one. ur just arguing for the sake of arguing. alexander has had one notable fight at ww, against maidana, a career jww in a 10rnd non title fight. if u think that makes him the better ww, so be it. smh. im not gonna argue with u for the sake of arguing.

                    It's debatable whether or not Alexander is a better Welterweight, but there is no doubt that Khan would bring in a ton more revenue.

                    Alexander has zero box office appeal at this point. Alexander needs another big fight and victory under his belt before he would merit a Floyd or Manny fight.

                      I already told you their styles have nothing in common, except for the lack of inside fighting. They both like to throw quick combos and step to the side, but they do it in a completely different manner. Punches come at different angles, rhythm, head movement and footwork are completely different, they're night and day.

                      Yes Pac and Khan are trained by Roach, so are Chavez Jr, Kayode, Benavidez and Senchenko.
