    Guerrero, even if he hits harder, wont cause more problems because of it. He hasn´t KO´d anyone in 5 years.

    The difference in speed would be too much for Guerrero to overcome.

    Guerrero would probably have gotten schooled as well

    But, you're right

    Overall Guerrero is higher risk lower reward

    Guerrero would be easier than Alexander.

    Guerrero & Alexander easy work.

    Bradley, Brook, Thurman, Pacquiao and Mayweather are the men to challenge Khan. Maidana is pretty much retired.

    Guerrero would have knocked him out. He almost KO'd Thurman in the 10th and had he tried a little harder he would have gotten Berto out of there.

    Alexander was always going to be a good fight for Khan, as will Bradley if Khan's management are sharp enough to make the fight happen.

    Guerrero would have posed more problems for him and I always said that but Khan clearly outperformed my expectations against Alexander and I expected Guerrero to have an easier time with Kamegai and to do slightly better against Thurman so I can admit that with retrospect I was likely wrong about the difficulty Khan would have had with that fight. I still feel he would have had a noticeably harder time with Guerrero but nonetheless Alexander was top 10 and a quality win, one of the best of Khan's career thus far...
