Amir Khan vs Devon Alexander

First topic message reminder :

Fight agreed. Will take place on December 13. Mandalay Bay Resort, Las Vegas.

Khan's not doing enough for me to pat him on the back for fighting Alexander (he'll be gutted I'm sure).

I'm a fan but on one hand its been dull following his career for the last 2 years given the names he's been up against, on the other when he steps in the ring it's anything but dull.

Alexander doesn't make me drool in anticipation for the 13th Dec but I bet I'm out of my seat regardless at some point or another during the fight.

Given my great Donaire prediction you can trust me when I say Khan wins by barely dropping a round, however the round/rounds he does drop may be 10/8's.

Slightly disappointed. was excited to see if Khan has really improved or wether Corrales flattered him. Dont get me wrong, Alexander is a good fight that I will happily watch. I just think Guerrero would have been more exciting and answered more questions about where Khan is now

Makes sense if you're Khan. Alexander is decent prep for Floyd, without being close enough to the real to carry massive risk. A win here and he'll fancy his chances against a 38-year old Floyd, a defeat, and well, didn't really deserve to be spoken of in such terms.

Good fight for khan. Alexander is a decent name and a step up from recent fights. But an ideal style for him. I'd expect a comfortable win for Amir. Then a big fight next year. Much better than him sat around waiting again. I think the Guerrero fight was definitely winnable but there was a fair bit more risk with that one.

Depends what Devon Alexander turns up if its the best and motivated version i think he is a top operator who can take Khan apart, if its the uninterested going through the motions Alexander that shows his face on far too many occasions then Khan wins a landslide decision.

catchweight wrote:Khan has been in pretty good fights and good value for money. This "earning a shot" at Mayweather is a load of crap. Thats not what counts with Mayweather. Mayweather began discussing terms with Khan before and then changed his mind (this was after Khan went life and death Julio Diaz). Otherwise this Alexander fight would have happened by now.

Good point.

Fighters that have got shots (ignoring ones that got shots they should've got earlier/in their prime/at their peak weight):

Ortiz

Who deserves the shot more out of the 4 listed? Enough said.
