    It's not like Devon Alexander was some megafight that was worth even taking when he was told he'd be fighting Mayweather.
    Now you are being silly. This injury line is a complete red herring. ****ty Alexander as you call him does not hit that hard and is not that good. What kind of injury is likely going to come from fighting him? Alexander is not going into the ring with a chainsaw. There is 5 months between fights that is plenty of time for a cut to heal and train.

      If you were told you are getting a Mayweather or Pacquiao fight, and they even send you a contract to sign then am afraid you would pull a Timothy Bradley...sorry.

        If Khan was a more disciplined fighter and a more patient puncher I think he could be a serious problem.

        His problem is his weak chin and his tendency to extend his combinations at almost every opportunity.

        He gets caught in between punches and his chin is not able to withstand punches he does not see coming.

        If he could be more patient and throw longer combinations when he starts wearing his opponents down I think he could be an elite boxer. His issue is that he comes out throwing 5-6 punch combinations at almost every exchange of the fight. He gets rocked and has no answer. His endgame tactics also display a huge lack of discipline.

        After he got rocked by Garcia, Garcia was throwing some sloppy looping hooks to finish Khan that could have easily been avoided. Khan continued to try to hit Garcia with combinations even though his legs were shot. He could've navigated his way around those sloppy punches, got his legs back and tried to win the fight. Instead he trades and gets KO'ed. He needs a higher boxing IQ, he clearly has speed and very good power on his shots but makes extremely questionable decisions.

          I'm talking about the Devon Alexander fight. You said Khan pulled out of a signed fight with Alexander. There was no fight signed. Ask Team Alexander if they signed a fight. They didn't and neither did Khan. They hadn't agreed on anything.

          As for the Mayweather fight. Oscar seems to think Khan signed his part of the contract....

          Mayweather does deals with Schaeffer not Oscar. Maybe Khan did sign a contract to fight Floyd but it doesn't become binding until Floyd signs his end of the contract. So that is meaningless. Say what you want but pulling out of the Alexander fight was a duck plain and simple and it backfired, and now Khan himself is saying he wishes he had fought Alexander.

          You obviously believe the malarkey that is coming from Khan without using your own reasoning skills.

            Some of the posts in here are really dumb and ill-informed. This being a prime example. The opponent doesn't have to "hit hard" or even be that good for you to sustain an injury.

            For example, Khan clashed heads with Paul fkin McCloskey and was pretty lucky not to sustain a cut in that fight. Floyd Mayweather himself broke his hand on the head of some bum he was fighting back when he was a lightweight. **** can happen in a fight.

            Just utter utter ******ity and the kind of thing Khan is talking about in the video. Boxing fans are the worst for this.

                I never said the contract with Mayweather was binding. I didn't even mention the Mayweather contract until you randomly brought it up.

                I disputed your point that Khan-Alexander was signed and Khan pulled out. That doesn't even make sense because he'd have to have been injured to pull out of a signed fight or be in breach of contract. There were negotiations but not one part of a deal was even agreed whether it be location or money.

                There was no fight signed between Khan and Alexander.

That's why and how he got passed over before! Dude has to get back in the ring and stop thinking that certain future opportunities will be there for him on account.
                    He got blinded by the big dollar light beams. But in his defense, he states that he signed and returned the contract, expecting the fight to happen without a doubt. Lesson learned.

                    He now knows if he doesn't receive copies of the signed contracts in return, he ain't got ****.

                      I'm sorry but this post is ******. You're comparing a potential injury for Khan with a REAL injury for Mayweather. And Floyd fought 6 months later after receiving that hand injury. If fighters can sustain real injuries and fight months later I'm sure Khan can fight in December and not worry about a "possible" injury keeping him from fighting in May.
