Comments Thread For: Alexander: Khan's Team Knew I Was a Big Risk!

Let's see what Devon does when Keith Thruman comes knocking on his door next year. I bet he keeps his mouth shut.

Both the Ghost and Maidana ducked him, so if Devon did, ohh well.

I'm more interested in Alexander Khan than Mayweather Khan.

I know people are hyping up "oh but can Mayweather get a KO vs a weaker chin?" and "Khan has speed, wow how will Floyd win so easily?" but I think both of the points are ridiculous.

Khan is not that good of a fighter, bottom line. You don't beat Floyd by having some speed anyways. Canelo has very quick hands and he was taken to school. Nobody can box with Floyd. You need a very aggressive body puncher that doesn't get beaten to death on the way inside like Cotto did to have a chance at Floyd.

I'd rather see a half dozen or more fighters face Floyd than Khan. It's just a waste of a fight. Will I tune in? Yes. But I'd tune in to see Floyd face a 126 pound 15th ranked fighter... it's Floyd, I'm gong to watch him fight anyone bc he's brilliant.

Alexander Khan should've happened and Floyd should've said "I'll fight Khan if he wins, if not, I will fight someone else." Unfortunately, money is most important to most people in the world, and the Khan fight makes the most sense since a Garcia fight is better to take in the 2nd half of 2014 or even in 2015 (it'll be worth more as Garcia fights more). With the TR feud and Floyd not likely wanting to fight a GGG at 154, who is even left? If Broner has a great fight I could see him jumping ahead to fight Floyd. Thurman is still at least one big victory after Soto away from being considered. Alexander is not nearly popular enough and fights boring fights. Matthyse just lost. There's just not that much to go on unfortunately, and that's the only reason Khan is being considered and is the current frontrunner.

Without the Top Rank Goldenboy feud this would have never happened. Floyd would be considering Manny, Bradley, even Provo before Khan and Khan could face Alexander in a far more intriguing matchup.

They literally announced Khan vs Alexander at the Weigh In of The One and then to hear Khan pulled out the fight was disturbing. Especially a win over Devon makes a Floyd fight more appealing which makes me think he thinks he would lose.
