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

[alembic]

... the idea that these two guys - who have been battered around the ring by Peterson, Garcia, Julio ****ing Diaz, Bradley, Kotelnik, Matthyse - have only got to beat the other to get a shot at Mayweather is appalling.

For real. This is the part of boxing that makes me wanna wretch.

For Khan, Devon is the lesser risk compared to either Matthysse or Garcia (WTF happened to Khan versus the winner of the "140 tourney"?). And fighting a credible opponent at 147, almost makes it legit to challenge Floyd. Anyway, I think the promoters are trying to set up Floyd/Khan in the UK for a huge event. This would be Floyd's only appearance in Europe before he retires. It would fill a stadium.

by giving someone who has just been brutally k0d and survived a fight with diaz a world title shot lol?

No. They're making their fighters fight good matches to get a shot at Floyd rather than just handing him over. Each guy in line has fought/will fight tough "eliminators" if you want to call them that. The fans respect that from the promoter and the fighters. The winner of Khan-Alexander deserves the next shot in my opinion. The winner of Garcia-Matthysse will probably have a tuneup at 147 before getting him late next year.

Should be a good fight. Waiting for this match up to decide who was better. I always thought Khan would win but I'm glad I finally get a chance to find out.

If Khan thinks he's going to use Devon to get to Floyd, he's making a big mistake.

I like this match up. I always wanted to see these guys fight at 140 but at 147 I would have to favor Alexander in this one.

Khan is the only boxer that i know that can get brutally knocked out time and time again and still get a title shot...smh

Once in 5 years is time and time again ?

You guy moan more than a pair off women, we have 2 good fighters facing off but you are still able to whinge and complain, when GBP says Khan would fight the tourney winner we complain, now he is fighting someone that has a belt and someone that can beat him but you are still whining... Gosh, enjoy the ****ing fight and see what happens later ladies instead of worrying how the winner might get Mayweather.

Some of these fans sound like they know nothing about boxing.

If I'm being honest, I still wouldn't want Floyd to face the winner of this fight, not at all appealing. Garcia still beat the crap out of Khan, Khan still looked amateurish against Peterson, Julio Diaz still gave him hell. Alexander has a lot of questions he still needs to answer, it's not like all of a sudden I'm gonna forget what happened against Kotelnik, Matthysse and Bradley. Both of them have much to prove and beating one another ain't gonna do it for me, sorry if I fall in the minority but that's how I feel.
