Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Devon Alexander Not on My Boxing Level

Alexander did look pretty bad ass against a shop worn Soto-Karass.

I think this fight will provide nice fireworks. Watch.

[Larry the boss]

No. But if you go watch that round, Prescott was boxing his ASS OFF. He was quick, powerful, and countering beautifully.

He was boxing with purpose in that fight. With a chip on his shoulder.

So his words mean jack **** then right?

Not necessarily. That was an isolated incident. I think he's talking about in the grand scheme of things. Day to day mechanics, overall skill set, etc.

I don't think it's fair to diminish Khans skills because Prescott fought the fight of his life.

I think Prescott deserves more credit for the win. He fought a masterful round. And ended it.

I think Khan's boxing skills are overrated.

[Nightfall]

khan can say all he wants.he has no level at welter after only one fight. he still fights the same way.amateur combos and then out. that will catch up with him around round 5.

[-MEGA-]

The problem with Khan is you don't necessarily have to be on his "boxing level" to beat him.

Former champion Amir Khan (29-3, 19KOs) feels confident that he holds advantages in every major category as he nears the upcoming fight with Devon Alexander, a former two-division champion, next Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will top a Showtime televised tripleheader.

Khan credits Alexander as being dangerous and a very good boxer, but a level below.

This from a guy who has done absolutely nothing of note in his career other than get knocked out by a journeyman (who Khan refused to fight in a rematch) in the first round.

What boxing skills?

The fight of his life consisted of one round! You fight masterful rounds in the 8th, 9th and 10th rounds, not the first round. If you knock a guy out in the first round, that says something about your opponent.

Prescott was boxing his ass off? You need more than 30 seconds to box someone's ears off.
