Comments Thread For: Gallagher: Alexander Will Bring Out Amir Khan's Best!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Veteran trainer Joe Gallagher says Amir Khan (29-3, 19KOs) is a taking a very big risk by accepting a fight with fellow former champion Devon Alexander on December 13th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The winner will become a frontrunner candidate to face WBC/WBA welterweight king Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May of 2015.

Khan made his welterweight debut in May of this year, dropping former champion Luis Collazo three times to win a twelve round unanimous decision. The fight took place on the undercard of Mayweather's first bout with Marcos Maidana.

This fight is where AK cements his place as one of the biggest draws in the sport.

Alexander is coming off a win over Soto-BumAss who lots of people were praising Maidana for beating as justification for him getting the Floyd fight

Hopefully Khan retires Devon.

I was at the fight with him and Porter, I was jumping out of my seat watching him get his ass kicked

Khan has GOT to do a job on Alexander .Devon is not one of the divisions hitters so may not be able to test the whiskers although I said the same about Willie Limond and the light hitter did...so...we'll see. He MUST look convincing or forget the Floyd dream forever.

I agree bro, Khan needs to look impressive.

I wanna see Khan vs Floyd happen cause I think Khan can bring out the Best out of Floyd and Khan deffo has the attributes to give him most troubles.

I think the display Khan puts on against Alexander will be a reasonable gauge as to how he would fear against Floyd and given that Floyd does everything better than Alexander there can be NO floors.

Devon is not a joke,maybe he is not at his best like the time when Brook ran away from him two times bv he is ever a risk a boxer with his skills and experience (Lucas Matthysse,Marcos Maidana,Timothy Bradley,ecc...his resume is amazing like few) and also southpaw that can be ever a problem in a fight. Devon is not a hitter at all at 147 so if Khan with that weak jaw after take prime shots fells that can absob well his punches he will jump on Devon. Devon has a great timing in counter with uppercuts when he is attacked though and Amir often get hit with uppercuts,so to me the fight can be a really good one to watch.
