    Sadly, any fight at any weight is risky for Khan, but I think he has some surprises left.
    I really do think this is a winnable fight for Khan,which is why I'm not saying he's ducking this fight..I kinda feel like it's nego going on right now,some hardball playing by both sides..I hope it goes off,and it comes to NYC,I'm in there..

          Man, what's this weird obsession with Khan? He is your boy Garcia's second best win you know. I wouldn't trash him so much if I were you.

            Alexander won't hurt Khan because of how he delivers his power shots, not because he doesn't have the power.

            Devon doesn't deliver his power shots well unless you're standing your ground in front of him or you walk into his shots. If he can't do that, his power shots fall short. For as low as Khan's ring IQ is, he's not going to be in the positions that he has to be in to be hurt by Devon. Diaz could hurt Khan multiple times because Diaz stalks forward and countered when Khan threw an ill advised punch.

            Anything can happen so I don't completely rule it out, but Devon's lack of ability to hurt Khan will have Khan letting him have it.

              I am sure Khan is talking to Floyd's people to see if they want the fight next May. If they say yes there is no reason to fight Devon. The only reason to take a high risk fight like that is to earn a Mayweather shot. If Floyd wants to fight him now (especially if Floyd is willing to go to the UK) then this fight does not make business sense for Khan.
              I really think we are headed for Khan/Floyd at Wembley in May with a Mexican undercard from the US.

                But that left hook though, Khan's opponents can't seem to miss.

                  he's not getting a myweather shot if he don't fight alexander & beat him. you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. khan needs to have a impressive performance against a top guy at 147 before the public can demand A mayweather vs khan showdown.

                    If he has a shot at a Mayweather fight , he's smart to wait and try and get pAid. Alexander will draw no interest with casual fans.

                    When Bradley ducked Khan everyone said it was a smart business decision because he ultimately got a PAC fight.

                    All of a sudden it's different because people love to hate on Khan. Alexander is boring and cannot draw.

                      Tim Bradley turned down a 50-50 split with Khan across the board including UK PPV. Khan would be not be getting that kind of deal to face Alexander.
