Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Khan Wants Statement Win With Alexander!

[BuckToothed]

That's true...after Maidana won the WBA WW Title from Broner. He didn't get the fight coming off a loss from Alexander, in fact I can't remember the last time someone got a fight with Floyd, when comng off a loss.

All the clowns in here hating on this fight

With all the non-competitive match-ups against Top fighters vs journeyman, it makes a change to see two young guys with notable wins on their resume go against each other and on paper the fight is 50/50

Devon has beaten Maidana, Lucas Matthysse, Kotelnik, Witter

He has two losses, i still feel he underestimated Porter, but he showed toughness in that fight

So based on Floyd's logic, shouldn't chino still have Alexander's problem then? lmao!!!

You're correct, Chino still has Khan and Alexander problems. However, when Floyd chose Chino, he still was the WBA WW Champion. Chino had won 4 straight wins in the WW division, 3 by KO, and had a professional record of 35-3 with 31 KOs. It wasn't like Floyd chose the Jr. WW Champion, or a Jr. WW fighter coming off a loss.

It will be so funny if Khan gets ****** and gets knocked out again.

so were just gonna ignored the fact that he still has alexnder/khan problems just because he won 4 straight? this is why i laugh at this fan base. talk all that mess then once the script gets flipped, its justifying time. pac rematch bradley and won, but yet floyd still says manny has marquez and bradley problems. khan has been on a winning streak but yet floyd says he still have peterson and gracia problems... ? but with chino, oh it doesnt really matter if he still have alexander/khan problems, he won 4 straight so thats good enough? LOL

This is why I laugh at Manny's fan base. Y'all criticize Floyd for fighting Maidana, the WBA WW Champ, but have little to say about Manny fighting Rios and Algeri, both Junior Welterweights, and Rios was coming off a loss. Y'all criticize Floyd for accusing Manny of PEDs without proof, then accuse Marquez of PEDs without proof. If you think Floyd should be fighting Khan, then shouldn't Manny be fighting Khan instead of Algeri? Y'all can't use the excuse of promoters, because Arum asked Roach about a Khan fight, and Roach said "Get me Danny Garcia." Now if Khan beats Alexander, and Floyd fights him, then y'all will say Khan is a "cherry-pick!" Meanwhile Manny is moving down to avoid WWs, and no one is calling that a b*tch move. Bunch of hypocrites!

In isolation it is an interesting fight at best.

It should be competitive but not that entertaining.

All this 'winner gets Floyd' BS is meaningless IMO.

I think Khan can squeeze past Devon and should look at Brook's title.

He would get a very decent payday and a shot at a belt.

His obsession with Floyd is getting boring.

Khan's (and Floyd's) best days are over...

[Green Hornet]

This will be a great fight as both are talented and hungry for a big fight. The elites have passed them by.
