It was still a beautiful shot. Alexander was fighting a wild tough but crude guy in Urango. He would tighten up his shots against more technically sound opposition and not take as many chances. With that said Urango is no walk in the park and would give anyone at 140 hell right now.
First off Khan isn't more skilled than Alexander. And second Khan would be put into a coma for a week if he got caught with that same punch:deal
But people make Alexander out to be this technical master when in every fight he's been in he gets hit more than a great technical fighter should. he got hit almost as much as he hit Witter too. True, he manages to avoid most devestating punches, and has shown what looks like to be a great chin, but his defense is not that great. What he does have is power and speed. But he doesn't have the versatility that Bradley has.
The ESB results show NONE of these fighters can be judged to be better (on poll results alone). 67. 71. 73.
On what I've seen it's Bradley, he's shown the greatest number of dimensions to his craft, he reminds me of a miniature Holyfield (and I don't just mean his tendency to lead with his head :roll. Alexander has the best chin and the best punch of the three although all of them can punch a bit to one degree or another. Khan's a bit behind, he's been stopped in embarrassing fashion by a now thoroughly exposed fighter, dropped and/or hurt by fighters well below world class and his best wins don't stack up against the other two (imo). I'm not saying Khan will prove to be the weakest of the three in the years to come but as of what we've seen so far he's definitely in third place and by more than a notch. Time will tell though. I thought he looked very good the other night against PM once he settled down to business. He has his tools. Three good young guys...I hope to **** they all stay at the weight for at least a couple of years and that they all fight each other. I think they'd all be eclipsed at 147 if any of them moves up too soon. Honestly..if these guys don't do their own version of Leonard/Hearns/Hagler (closer together chronologically) then it will be one of the great modern disgraces to the sport. 1. Bradley 2. Alexander 3. Khan ...for now... 140 is looking good at the top.
I cant wait, Khan can beat Bradley or Alexander and make it look easy. People keep talking about Khan chin but at 140 Khan is more at his natural weight. Both Bradley and Alexander are shorter than Khan and uses his reach and high guard to great effect and now showing one of the best jabs around. Khan would outbox these guys to a UD or even a KO. I cant wait.
in terms of ranking is goes bradley > alexander > khan in terms of h2h imo it goes alexander > khan > bradley
