    As for the italicized, you're downgrading BOTH Khan and Alexander's wins over Maidana.

      I don't think he's watched the fight.

        Khan looked extremely amateurish against a Judah who showed no heart, Zab quit. There is no denying that.

          Still...Devon is nothing like Diaz. He isn't a pressure fighter. He'll try to box with Khan and he'll lose quite comfortably IMO.
          Fair points and well made. I'm just not convinced when watching Khan, that he's improving his defence and decision making, boxing brain to avoid getting into trouble enough.

          I'd love Khan to beat Alexander. But I've gotten tired of half expecting a blinder from him in his next fight. Because he's often un-delivering on what he's capable of.

            With regards to the Alexander thing and clinching. Face palm.
            Does nobody understand the reference to clinching for his life? Thought that was a simple concept to grasp.

            I'm rooting for Khan to win and think he'll beat Alexander, but it's not like Maidana wasn't prime when he fought Alexander.

              1. Kotelnik
              2. Malignaggi
              3. Judah

              These were Khan's best performances.

                Khan hardly clinched at all which was one of his main problems.

                And like I said before, Alexander fought Maidana in a 10 round St.Louis special as opposed to Khan who fought him over 12.

                In 10 rounds, Khan probably wins a shutout.

                  That's not the point of the argument at all.

                    I don't think so at all. How can a UD and a tko10 or whatever Malignaggi was be better than a five round demolition of Judah?

                    I stand by my statement. The Judah fight was his best performance.

                      Maidana khan fought > Maidana Alexander fought.
