"We would welcome the challenge," Cunningham said. "If Amir Khan wants to come to the United States we would fight him in our next fight. He says he wants to fight in America and fight other champions. Well, Devon is American and one of the other champions. It would be a great fight to watch, two young champions, both good kids, both stepping up to the plate and unifying titles instead of picking old guys to fight. We'd love to unify with Amir Khan." Indeed, it would match two of boxing's emerging stars, both fast and flashy fighters with strong amateur pedigrees. Cunningham said that Don King, Alexander's promoter, told him that he was talking to Khan promoter Frank Warren to see if there was any interest in setting up the fight -- or at least a plan to get to it. Khan, of course, probably will be saddled with a mandatory in his next fight against Dmitriy Salita. "So give Salita his mandatory shot and let Devon do a fight on the same card and then they can fight each other next," Cunningham said. "HBO or Showtime should be interested in doing something like that. Wouldn't they want to set up a unification between these two young and exciting stars?" http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4386639&name=rafael_dan
Indeed:good. Both are winnable fights as well, IMO. Don't quite fancy Khan against Urango or Bradley yet.
can't see this being in the US, they would make more money here, Alexander can't draw flies and Khan is vertually unknown in the US unless HBO or showtime put up big money (which i can't see them doing) Khan could fight salita in US because its less risk for almost the same reward in terms money
Khan vs Alexander would be good fit for the undercard of Mayweather vs Pacquiao! What? I can dream....
Khan vs Salita on Manny Cotto undercard, then spring next year Khan can fight Devon. It all depends on Warren and the U.S cable networks if they fund a ad campain for Khan in the U.S. and Khan can put on a show vs Salita maybe they can pull off a showdown vs Alexander in the U.S. Lets see what happens.
You could have Salita vs Khan on the Cotto vs Pac undercard. Depending on the result - most likely a Khan win IMO - then decide what to do next. Alexander ought to consider getting his mando out of the way first, whoever that is.
