    My point was simple the Witter what Devon fought was shot, what else you want me to say?

    Khan will provide a more capable test than Urango. And no Khans chin hasnt improved but its impossible chins dont improve but like many fighters with weak chins hes learned to protect it. Look at Wlad for example weak chin but nobody can come near it.


    And no alexander wasnt hurt by Urangos hooks but he was mobile urango could never set his feet for a big shot Khan is a better boxer and will be able to match the speed and athleticism.

    I dont think Alexander is a bum but I'm holding off on my opinion until he beats somebody more complete than urango and a little more prime than Witter

    If he beats Kotelnik worse than Khan

    then beats say Khan or Bradley or Maidana or Ortiz without any issues I'll put him at number 1 or atleast 2 behind Bradley unless he beat Bradley

    I'mwaiting til he beats 1 or two more top guys

    Well actually he wasn't, on the slide yes but I wouldn't call him shot.
    What I want is for you to answer my question and tell me what Khan has done that tops that single win. I asked you already and you deliberately ignored it.

    Ok then i guess Kotelnik was a shot fighter too when Khan beat him in a boring fight since Kotelnik was like 32 or 33 years old on that time. But guess what? Devon beat a so called shot Witter way better then Khan beat a so called so shot Kotelnik.

    Diaz wasn't a big puncher and was a smaller fighter but he land alot of clean punches on Paulie. <<<If that was Urango punch, Paulie would be in big trouble.

    :lol::lol::lol: Stop. Paulie wasn't in his prime. Even Paulie himself even say he don't have the fresh legs anymore. Kotelnik was like 32 or 33 when he fought Khan but yet Kotelnik was in his prime? Lol.

    I agree with that based on the size and power difference but Juan Diaz has a relentless style that is pretty much non stop....not so much the case with Urango who fights agressively in spots. But he's not a combo puncher like Diaz who fights 3 mins of every round. Juan could definitly KO Paulie if he caught him...the problem is catching Paulie.

    Urango can catch Paulie. Paulie isn't a great slick fighter. He gets hit alot cleanly.

    A fighter can be an over the hill even at 29. Just ask Vargas.

    He's actually a very solid boxer with very good defenisve skills. The only fights he got tagged cleanly were against Cotto, Kahn and Diaz had LIMITED success. Urango in my opinion wasn't a great fighter. Ricky Hatton beat the snot out of him for 12 rounds before Alexander beat him. And Juan had a hard time finding Ricky who is clearly harder to hit than Paulie.
