    Should be fighting Keith Thurman.
    I guess it's easier to just keep certain opponents away from Thurman so they can still use the "he too green" excuse until you know who retires.:lol:

    Khan beats both, neither have concussive power to trouble khan and nobody is outboxing khan.

    alexander is quicker than guerrero and you don't need much power to make khan do his chicken dance.

    Should be fighting Thurman? erm no...

    If Khan outboxed Thurman everyone would be straight on to say Thurman was a hype job...

    risk reward not worth it.

    LOL WBA WBC & IBF ratings are all **** and don't truly represent where fighters should be ranked relative to all the other fighters in a division.

    Floyd
    Pac
    Bradley

    none of them will rank in that order...but that's the true order.

    Alexander is way more proven than Thurman. Dunno about Guerrero though who the fck he beat also? Berto & Aydin lol.

    Agree, con has made noises about stepping up to 154 so why not? No reason why at this stage he can't go back and forth between the two divisions.

    Guerrero is the easier fight and if he whups him better than Floyd did , that could probably get Floyds attention and get him a fight .

    Alexander is a much more difficult fight than Robert , and I respect Khan is he chooses to fight Devon over Robert .

    a Determined and focused Alexander is a hard fight .

    Guerrero as a WW has no good wins. He's way too heavy and flabby and has had to adopt a caveman style…the turkish dude, berto, and that jap all sucked.

    I hate devon alexander…but being objective, dare i say, he was exciting in his last fight and looked very sharp.

    I would watch him battle Khan. Two speedsters with something to prove and a genuine dislike.

    More interesting than watching khan dance around gurerro and peppering him with shots while gurerrro tries to march forward and foul.

    Not to mention I would be spared his jesus christ loving BS and his dad's tired antics….

    At least Guerrero provides an aggressive boxer-puncher style that could provide some excitement. From the two listed I would definitely pick Guerrero.

    there both a good fight... both can be bad as any fight can.


    i think the guerrero/khan fight would be the safe pick
