    Lol Khan is screwed... and not because Devon is a threat, more so because this fight does nothing for him, on the contrary, he has more to lose than he could ever possibly gain from it.

    If he beats Alexander, things remain the same. Alexander is not a big name. It proves nothing and does very little for his case towards a Mayweather fight.

    If he loses, then it's 2 steps back down the staircase again, he gets out of the picture quick.

    He should have pushed for a recognizable name like Guerrero. Someone who has fought Mayweather and would put him in the conversations fast.

    Now he got Alexander all motivated to make him look bad. I can't imagine how Khan can get motivated for a fight like this when he is seeing beforehand that fans don't care if he wins, it doesn't prove anything.

      Coming out party? Sounds pretty suspect.

        Very courageous of Devon to use this fight as an event to come to terms with his sexuality. Nothing will make this gesture more believable than how out of the closet he will look running from Khan all night.

          This is a big fight anyone who disagrees needs to wake up, Devon has only lost to undefeated fighters and is a two division champion. He could very well beat Khan so props to Amir for taking on a champion. The winner will probably get Floyd. Floyd knows he can beat both men and Floyd won't take risks in his last two fights.

            It's refreshing to hear boxers being so open about their out of ring activities.

              Don't forget about the "tactical" hugging.

                Floyd is not fighting either of them. Devon as already mentioned is a no name and will not bring money to the table. Everyone and their mother knows that Mayweather fights for money, therefore the biggest money fight to be made is PAC. Plain and simple. Let's say Khan does beat Devon, how will Mayweather even promote that fight against Khan? Khan is crap man

                  Agreed. IF Mayweather does actually have two fights left, Khan will not be one of his opponents. He will have to beat a sound WW before that. My gut tells me if PAC gets past his upcoming fight, they will make the fight and the rematch with floyd

                    Devon doesn't have a clue.
