Comments Thread For: Team Alexander To Khan: No Talk, Sign The Contract!

[Bushbaby]

I'm not so sure about that. Khan has the potential to beat Alexander. Sure he wins but when is the last time Devon looked good in a fight? I'd have to go all the way back to Urango and that was back in 2010. Devon is not a tall guy or big puncher and those are the type of fighters that give Khan the most trouble not guys like Alexander.

Ok, so by your own standard, when was the last time Khan himself looked good??

"My balance was so bad. My stability wasn't the best. I've improved that so much in five weeks."

Note to Khan: your problems with balance and stability are the result of your inability to take a punch.

There are a lot of things fighters can fix. Unfortunately for Khan, a glass chin is not one of them.

It's true that he can't fix that issue that he has of having a glass chin.

but

He can try to at least help himself by improving both his defense and offense so that he can "protect" his chin better. One example of this is Wladimir. Wladimir has been protecting his chin and has had success.

Certainly, Khan will need to use a different approach but Khan and his team should start by looking at what he does wrong. Khan seems to be very vulnerable when he is throwing his 3-4 punch combinations because he looses track of his opponents counter punches coming back at him. The body reacts better when the fighter sees the punch.

I think Khan is hoping that he can get Mayweather without having to fight Alexander. That's the hold up.

Your hero Mayweather is to blame.
He wants Khan next.
Aks Floyd Sr.

Yes no talk! No PROMOTION, no PUBLICITY, lets keep the fight in the dark! When an interviewer asks you questions you generally you reply with actual words. It's called basic human etiquette.

And when you have a fight you PROMOTE that fight.

Team ****ingham is one of those unstable idiots. If Khan hasn't lost his speed, he's going to spark Devon.

Khan will never get a chance to fight Floyd because he will not get past Alexander and honestly Khan hasn't done anything to deserve a fight against Mayweather. Heck, he needs to change his name to King Canvas since he's been knocked out so many times.

He's only been KO'd twice to my knowledge.

Lmaoooo @ King Canvas

He looked great against Marcos Maidana. And he squashed Lee Purdy (who admittedly wasn't the greatest of opponents.)

Khan don't want it

I don't disagree that intelligent, motivated boxers can up their defensive game. Is Khan either of those things? I have my doubts.

Khan was doing a dance for most of the rounds against Julio Who? Diaz. In my opinion, after such a performance in which it became clear that he's learned very little since his knockout loss to Danny Garcia, it's an insult to boxing fans to mention Khan's name alongside that of Mayweather. Heck, Khan is lucky that he is still enough in the mix to fight Alexander.
