Comments Thread For: Khan Shuts Down Alexander, Eyes Mayweather Shot

[iloveboxing2]

Pretty impressive win buy Khan but I'd like to see Amir fights Pacman rather, Floyd is too old for Amir's quickness plus with Virgil instructions, Jr could lose his first fight. Against Manny, it will be more exciting, speed for speed and running away from the other is not an option. Floyd at this point are out of option but to really take his chance against Pacman. Amir,Thurman,Pac and Tim are all high risk but against Manny, it presents the highest reward. But with all the names that are out there, Pacman will be the last man standing before 2016 ends.

What the...no, Khan and Thurman BOTH looked great tonight. How come when Khan outboxes someone he looks great but when Thurman does it, he looks bad? Stop being so biased.

Khan fought a quality opponent, who is a former world champion in two weight classes, and who had a good chance of winning going into the fight. Thurman fought a 40-year old journeyman who has fought no one, who virtually no one has ever heard of, and who virtually no one gave a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

I am not a fan of Amir Khan, but there is no comparison between the two. Khan fought a superb fight against a quality opponent and Thurman did what he was supposed to do against an overmatched opponent.

Seriously why are ppl acting like Devon was/is/has ever been a credible threat to Khan. Devon's style is perfect for Amir. Get in there with someone who actually presents a threat and isn't just good at fighting but actually "Exceptional" at something. Heard Keith Thurman was available to fight tonight...

Keith Thurman wasn't available tonight and won't be available anytime in 2015. His dance card will be filled with nothing but C&D class journeymen in 2015 just as it has his entire career. Maybe after 30 fights, Haymon will do what he is doing with Deontay Wilder and actually put him in the ring with a live opponent.

Khan looked incredible, but still believe that clown Roach ruined his career.

Ok, now Floyd-Khan on May for undisputed welterweight king.

The world is waiting for this outstanding historical clash.

Let's get ready to rumble!

Khan has a lot of options now:

Bradley-Kahn (Tim by KO)
Pacquiao-Kahn (Pac by KO)
Floyd-Khan (Floyd by controversial SD)
Thurman-Khan (Khan gets KOd)

Khan is amazing. I hope he fights Garcia and Maidana at 147.

[maddad2001]

Great win for Khan. Although he needs Maidana (v2), Garcia, Brook, Pacquiao to get the Mayweather fight. Alexander is a very ordinary fighter. The reason for this, yes his boxing skills are good, bit his temperament is very poor. His ring iq is equally as poor. Most importantly he's one dimensional. He's nowhere near the speed and skill of Khan yet he persisted to flick out a pawy uncommited jab. The blueprint for Khan is rough house tactics. Get in close and bully him to the ropes. If you stand infront of him it's a shutout everynight. Mayweather could lose to Khan unless he's willing to risk his hands and remove the pillow padded gloves he uses.

I agree with you, Leonard Bundu isn't Devon Alexander, but he showed to be durable and much better on the inside than Thurman seemed to excpect.

Thurman did a good job, he used his reach advantage, worked behind his jab and moved well.
In my opinion though he showed that he doesn't like to fight inside.
He mentioned a clash of heads that he didn't like, and it might be the reason, however he won the fight on his back foot when people expected him to be the aggressor (hence the booing, but Bundu won the European title in England and the British fans are rather fond of him from what I've heard).

As for Khan, a really impressive performance, he was composed, sharp and his defense was much better than usual. I was laughing during the championship rounds when you could hear Virgil Hunter scream over the crowd " stay focused! stay focused!!! stay focused!!! "
