    master boxers and so called technicians dont keep dropping their hands every time they punch.

    That is a schoolboy error

    LOL funny how you said unless that opponent is mayweather to cover yourself. Even though you yourself say 'When Khan isn't threatened aggressively or by obvious display of power from an opponent, he takes over in brutal fashion' then how would mayweather threaten him?> when was the last time mayweather got a ko?

    Alexander is a pure boxer, good movement fast hands similar power to floyd this fight will give us a good indication of how khan would do against floyd. Remember all three have fought maidana and alexander handled him the easiest and floyd had the most trouble. Alexanders inside fighting is not as good as floyds but at this point in his career i would say alexander has similiar speed, movement skills etc. What you guys think if khan handles Alexander comfortable would floyd avoid him? would this fight be a good indication of how khan would do against floyd? or is floyd an entirely different fighter?

    not really...if alexander was Orthodox it would be a closer indication to what Khan's style is capable of...but still Floyd is still on that level above just like Pac.

    If Khan handles Alexander with ease then Floyd might think twice about fighting him...depends what we see in the fight...Khan would need to dominate and show some real skills...but if he does that it won't help his chances of getting Floyd LOL but it will make some boxing fans believe he has the ability to achieve something against Floyd.

    Fact: Khan's fragile mandible will be there for the taking against Floyd.

    It's irrefutable.

    Khan is nothing special. If you seriously think he's a better boxer than Floyd, you need to stop watching boxing and take up a different sport, like maybe golf.

    Alexander will definitely be there all the way, that's for sure. Even if he ends up losing by stoppage, which will be shocking, it won't come easily. However, I still insist that stylistically, Guerrero is a more exciting/intriguing fight. It's true that Khan will be landing a lot on Guerrero, especially early, but what if Guerrero is able to take it and keep the pressure up?. How long can or will Khan keep up the movement, speed and power to keep Guerrero off?, what will happen if Guerrero lands?. Just far more exciting questions involving the Guerrero fight than Alexander. Even if Khan gasses out late against Alexander, he can still safely survive, hold and so forth because Alexander doesn't really have the pop to keep him in check nor the aggression.

    Not to say that the Alexander fight is crap, hell no. It's a good fight which was clearly taken for obvious reasons.
