    ever since khan was knocked the **** out he has taken easy fights. anone can see that. hency why he is not the man to beat. he would never take on urango at 140 . alexander already did that. the difference is alexander and bradley will fith whomever. khan will not.

    Why would GBP match Khan up with Bradley, Alexander or Maidana for his U.S debut? its all about reward/risk, Khan was unknown.

    How many people in the U.S knew Amir Khan before the Paulie fight?

    Its all about fighgting these guy when Khan starts drawinng U.S fans so it can be a big money fight, a JMM fight would draw him Mexican attention maybe more fanbase.

    Khan next year has to/forced into fighting the Bradley, Alexander or Maidana.

    Seriously, if GBP don't want to mix Khan with the top 2 champs then so be it, Shaw can't do anything about it. Why don't they just move on like Alexander camp?

    Why doesn't Shaw make a Bradley-Alexander fight then? The guy still wants Bradley to fight Khan and Maidana first, then fight Alexander which is rediculous.

    It was discusting to hear Shaw say "Why should two American fighters fight each other?"

    The top 3 at 140 for me

    1. Bradley

    2. Khan

    3. Alexander


    Khan's Kotelnik and Paulie(away from home in Paulie's Backyard) not a big puncher but a good boxer who was outboxed by Khan easy, to Alexander's Vacant title fight with a faded Witter and Urango a puncher but a 2D fighter who was easy to read, no boxing skills.

    A bit like Malinaggi then? Holding your hands down by your waist doesn't mean you're skilled. Hatton easily outboxed him too. Urango would beat Malinaggi. Stopping Witter tops anything Khan has done on it's own.
    I've got no problem calling Khan no.3 based on his boxing ability but there's no point inacting like he's achieved much yet.

    :lol:

    Beating a 35 yr old Witter, better than anything Khan has ever done.

    Just stop.

    Correct me then. Don't just put up a smiley. I said 'STOPPING' Witter. What's Khan done that tops that? Yuri Foreman? I think not. Outboxing Paulie "I got outboxed by Ricky the face first brawler Hatton" Malinaggi? Or is it Kotelnik (who lost to Witter years ago). Maybe Gomez or Limmond are both great because they dumped Khan on his arse.

    I think Bradley is the man Khan is the top contender for him and Alexander is a prospect who has a unified title

    Alexander is athletic and talented yes he can throw an assortment of punches especially a mean uppercut like against Urango but he is still green and very unproven or tested for a unified belt holder

    He got hit very easily vs Urango and just when Urango let his hands go it ended im curious to see Alexander vs Khan

    a guy with fast hands and good jab who can hit hard and is fast. I saw Urango landing that right hook I wanna see if Alexander is the real deal and beating Khan or Bradley is proof for me

    Beating Maidana or Ortiz is nice too I think Maidana is gonna lose when he faces any of the 3 holders Ortiz may have a better chance vs any of the 3 holders

    Witter was 34 when he was a world champion until he lost to Bradley by decision. So now at 35, Witter is like a shot fighter? :lol: Witter would have beat Kotelnik and Urango would have ko Paulie late.

    Stopping more like Witter quiting on his stool, anyway stopping a shot too bits, 35 yrs old Witter dont mean the world to me, maybe to you.

    Khan would made that Witter look like a mindless fool with his off timed swinging upper cuts.

    He was a shot figher when he fought Alexander.

    Maybe he would. But he didn't.
    Witter didn't quit on his stool because he remembered he had to return a library book, much as it pains me to say it he quit because Alexander was beating him up.
    You didn't answer my question either, funny that. You want to give somebody credit for things he hasn't done (yet) but can't, so what's your agenda?

    I actually think stylisticlly Paulie would have had an easy time with Urango....he wouldn't have hurt Juan....but definitley would have pecked the **** out of him over 12 rounds and won by UD. Paulie's got a great chin.....I think he could have weathered any storm from Juan just as long as he didn't get caught with the perfect shot.
