    Just watching the khan-Alexander fight again..yes I know its different styles etc but Khan physically looks a beast now almost the complete fighter.

    I think he will outclass Brook personally

    Alexander looks done at top level, brook isn't.

    Annoying thing with Khan is pre Garcia/Peterson he would have happily taken the brook fight (obviously would want a good deal) but now he seems to be way too safety first with his opponents since the back to back losses, whether that's down to him or his team I don't know but recently he can't give it the 'I will fight anyone' as he's basically fighting guys made for him and hoping a couple of wins against shot guys/blown up guys will get him a mayweather fight

    Yeah, against Alexander he looked impressive. I think anyone would find him tough to beat when he fights like that - super fast combination punching combined with great footwork. Brook's plodding, mechanical style would really struggle

    that's the annoying thing, imo he's far better than brook. If he can keep his chin out of trouble he'll easily win on points, possibly by ko even. That's why I don't understand why he doesn't seem to be pursuing the fight.

    That's why, they know it'll get tested against a far more powerful WW than before

    Kell has great footwork -glides into range superbly - he wouldn't follow him around the ring like Alexander.

    Khan has only fought one guy in the current top 10. The idea that khan has fought top level fighter after top level fighter is pure fabrication.

    Brook would batter Khan senseless.

    Devon Alexander simply isn't very good. Can people stop reading so much into that, it's embarrassing.

    I agree to a point , problem is khan doesn't want to the brook before he has fought pac or mayweather


    khan knows the brook fight is very dangerous for him
