Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Says Guerrero, Alexander Still The Targets

[Uklad]

When Manny fought Rios, he wasn't the champ. Algeri beat Ruslan for the title, so he is a champ @ 140. Guererro, Ortiz, and Maidana were all champions when they got a shot too.

So Guerrero was the champ? , how many fights has Ortiz had at 147?

Algeri got a gift decision against Provo. GTFO you troll.

Khan vs Alexander is the more interesting fight. They both prefer to box, although Alexander has been doing well on the inside. They're also clinchers, although I've never seen Khan get clinched often in a fight, which might mean he has the advantage on the outside.

If Khan had fought Guererro in 2013, maybe it would be saying something. But the 2014 Guererro just went the distance with Kamegai, and it was a close battle. Please don't try to tell me Kamegai was a monster either. So now that Guerrero looks bad, would beating him be making a statement? So he would have 115-113 fight with Diaz (and got dropped), a win over Luis Collazo, and a win against Guererro. Porter (if he wins) would have a win against Alexander (who Khan ducked) in a title fight, a KO of Malignaggi, and a win against Brook, and not to mention the IBF strap. I think in that sceneario, Floyd chooses Porter over Khan. I think if you replace that win over Guererro with a win over Thurman, Floyd chooses Khan. Seems to me that a lot of Khan fans are terrified by Thurman.

Why no mention of Porter's performance against Diaz in first fight? He lost that fight in many people's eyes, beat Alexander and shot to **** Paulie and now if he beats Brook the Nobody he deserves a Floyd fight and Not kHAN? RIGHT.

Guererro was the WBC interim champ by beating Aydin, and then stayed the interim champ by beating Berto. Ortiz was the WBC Welterweight Champion by beating Berto. Algeri, gift or no gift, is the WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion going up to fight the WBO Welterweight Champion. Facts are facts!

Why no mention Porter's first performance against Diaz? Because unlike Khan, he erased it by beating him in a rematch. If Alexander is not all that, then Khan should have fought him last year...but he didn't! Brook "The Nobody" is fighting for the current IBF Welterweight title this weekend. Your boy is talking about fighting 2 guys who used to be champions. Guess who is the undefeated interim WBA Welterweight Champion? Keith Thurman...MAN UP!

Khan beats both, Guerrero being the easier!

who the f*** cares about the interim belt? Get off thurman's d*** you tw.at.

And I think you're putting too much stock in what Khan did at 140 or below. It's easy for you to NOT put a lot of stock in Alexander, and that would be cool...if khan had fought and beaten Alexander. However, he chose to NOT fight Alexander and Porter did. That's what i'm putting stock in...the fact that he fought him, and Khan didn't.

So by your logic, the fact Amir smashed a younger fresher version of Paulie (at his best weight) should not detract from Porter doing the same to a old, shot version of Paulie -- by golly, that's just a great win for Porter

... but if Khan fought Alexander in November, that doesn't mean much. Because Porter already beat him.

In your book, only Thurman will do. That's the only fight Amir Khan -- specifically -- is allowed to take if he wants Floyd.

Never mind that Team Porter **OPENLY** ducked Thurman already. As soon as Shawn won that title people asked him and his dad about taking on Thurman and his dad gave the old, reliable "that would be a much bigger fight down the road" / a.k.a. "gotta let it marinate" excuse.

I'm sure you have no problem with that "strategic career decision" by Team Porter though.

I wonder why? Hmmmm ...

[FrankieBruno]

people saying such and such is a easy fight

neither devon or the ghost are east fights, especially for khan

these are competitive bouts, possibly 50/50 fights

khan haters play down whoever he fights per usual

if their fav boxer was figthing the above, they'd say how "great" these opponents are

[newcastleking]

I hope it's Khan/Guerrero, I believe they both beat Alexander.
