Comments Thread For: Khan-Alexander Contracts Being Finalized For 12/7

Greenbacks are the name of the game, and Khan is a moneyman in the sport.

Is Khan really that big of a draw where Golden Boy wants him to be so successful? Ive only been into boxing a couple years maybe but all i see is them hyping him up along with self-hype but him not doing so well in the ring. Someone fill me in.

Khan has a weak chin and will never be a great fighter because of that. Therefor, I hope Alexander beats him and gets the shot at Mayweather instead. Actually, I don't give a **** who wins.

Lol yeah, that fight can happen on Kwanza or something, no Latinos are paying for that shit

khan vs garcia was sorta like paq vs marquez4 they were whooping ass and got k.o.ed

No it's not....Pac was not whooping ass, he got dropped in the third, lost 2 of the first 3 rds, came on in the 4th and 5th then got ko'd in the 6th

This fight makes sense for both fighters as both are not very good. In Khan's case he needs to avoid the winner of Mattysse Garcia as he will undoubtedly get KOd again and the excuses will become more and more ridiculous. Another KO loss really would make a Mayweather fight a bigger joke than it already is. Khan can beat Alexander and if the fight is in Dubai and generates big $$$ it will be a selling point for tempting Mayweather who will have to make the fight sooner rather than later as the longer he leaves it the more people will beat up Khan. This is a great fight for Khan and a get out from being KOd by Mattysse or Garcia.
This is also a great fight for Alexander as it will generate a big payday and set up a possible Mayweather fight. Like Khan I don't think it will be too long before he gets beaten and this fight sets up a Mayweather fight before the inevitable happens.
I can see Khan winning this and if the fight is in Dubai the judges will be heavily biased to Khan and if Khan avoids getting KOd which is likely as Alexander does not hit hard. I can see a points win for Khan being a likely outcome.

I'm dreading the Sky Sports hype.

No offense, but the only way Khan beats Alexander is if Golden Boy pays Devon to lose, sort of like a step aside payment. Look how Khan struggled with Julio Diaz, and Alexander is way better than him.

What kind of dumbass argument is that? Alexander is a completely different fighter to Julio Diaz.

It's like saying Khan virtually shutout Kotelnik and Kotelnik beat Devon's ass.

Khan mostly struggles with pressure fighters, not boxers. Devon is a boxer.

I think Khan wins this, he's a better boxer, a lot quicker and I think more powerful but it will be interesting to see how well he does at Welterweight.

I know a lot of people think the step up to Welterweight is risky for Khan as fighters are bigger and more powerful which won't help that suspect chin of his but I actually think it he will be a better fighter at 147, he's almost 5'9 in height and even with the step up, he'll be a big Welterweight - I'm actually surprised he has stuck around at 140 for so long. In recent fights he admitted that making weight at 140 was more difficult and I'd expect to see a stronger and more resilient Khan at 147.

As for the switch of trainers.. I think Virgil Hunter has done a great job at changing the way Khan fights when he's hurt (but he shouldn't be getting hurt) but apart from that I preferred the more ferocious Khan when he was with Freddie Roach and had Alex Ariza as his strength and conditioning coach. He dropped Alex Ariza for the Garcia fight and that along with his over confidence is the reason he lost that fight - shame.

Yes, Alexander is completely different from Julio Diaz and he's also completely different than any "boxer" that Amir has faced.

It's like saying Khan went life and death with Maidana but Devon tactically picked Marcos apart and won every round except one on 3 freaking scorecards.

Khan struggles with fighters that can hit him with clean, accurate, and hard punches and not necessarily "pressure fighters". I wouldn't group Prescott, Maidana, Peterson, Garcia, and Julio Diaz as all pressure fighters. Amir is successful with guys with little power that are labeled as "boxers": Kotelnik, Salita, Malignaggi, and McCloskey.

You can only judge a fighter by his last few fights and the smart money is on Devon right now.

Devon is an alphabet champ, no question, hes the andre dirrell of the division. Talent but its not enough to take the wrath of khan. Hes better.
