Comments Thread For: Khan: This Fight is a Dress Rehearsal For Mayweather

[VG_Addict]

I get it now, I post a legitimate question about boxing to get the convo going and all anyone on here wants to do is cheer-lead for their favorite fighters and try day and night to discredit anyone they don't approve of.

I'm just saying that Khan is not the 2nd hardest puncher at 147.

The more Khan talks about his greatness, the more I think of the Garcia fight...

Fine line between confidence and over-confidence.

Haven't heard much at all from Devon, so he is either training up to give Khan hell or he is running a bit scared.

This is an interesting fight.

Probably because Boxingscene know that no-one gives a **** about Devon so they don't chop up his interviews into a million different articles like they do with Khan to wind you people up....

Nobody gives a shi t about Devon Alexander because it's true he's never been a dominant world champion like his opponent on Saturday second rate , Always there for the taking with any half decent challenge.This fight is what it is even thou some idiots see it as something it's not!

Your seriously underselling Devon Alexander. Yes he has an issue adjusting to wild fighters ie Porter and Bradley, but as far as skill level he is a top ten WW.
I will ask this question again, how do you guys rank the current class at 147? NOT COUNTING FLOYD!!!


I would have to say:

1.) Khan
2.) Alexander
3.) Thurman
4.) Bradley
5.) Manny
6.) Kell Brook
7.) Marcos Maidana
8.) JMM
9.) Robert Guerrero

How on earth can you rate Khan at no.1 ..there's no point discussing ! Youv'e got Port Vale above Man city there !

Again, what do you base Khan being the best fighter at 147 on? A win over shot Collazo?

You don't have to agree with my list, I was starting a discussion but you went all fanboy with it.

Yes, I believe that Khan beats more people in the top ten then he loses to. The same with Devon.

Thurman is the wild card because no one knows how good he would match up against a top WW because he hasn't fought one yet but based off of what I have seen of him he is going to be hard for any of them to beat.

If I am being honest though it really is hard to call because outside of Floyd,
I see no one fighter that can dominate the division. There are some match ups that they would lose because they have trouble against a certain style, like Alexander vs a Bradley or Pac type fighter, or Pac vs a counter puncher and so on, but I have them all pretty evenly matched.

Overall talent. Khan is a full sized WW and he can ****, we know he has power. He is the biggest WW size wise in the top ten. But for me its his offense, it's insane and unless you are a hardy fighter he is going to blow you out. I don't see any WW being able to handle Khan coming forward unless they can back him off. He is too big to muscle around and you can't exchange with him as he might have the fastest hands at WW and he can hit hard so you run a high risk of getting knocked out first.

Please don't misunderstand me, I am not saying he dominates but I do think that not considering Floyd he is the most dangerous. He can still lose fights because 147 is full of talent, I would say the best division in boxing, but he edges the other top ten for me.

Who do you have as the #1 guy at WW? Curious to know.

I don't really have a list with me.

Would you say Khan is a H2H beast?
