    Khan would've been a good fight but he's fighting Alexander now.
    2 guys on the slide who haven't look great in their last few fights.

    Massive fan of the guy. Andre's a warrior, there's just no quit in the guy. Andre personifies the word 'heart'. Would always tune in to watch this guy, gives his all, is in exciting fights and that's all you can ask for. Just hope GBP/Al Hayman match him right in his next fight.

    He never had an elite win to begin with, but what he does have is a few more highly entertaining fights in him.

    Second page and no mention of his biceps and shoulder injuries/surgeries. Perhaps you all feel this isn't a reason of his poor performances (not a dig, as I'm sure everyone commenting is aware of the injuries) I don't know. I personally thought he was a little hyped and with the injuries seems he is certainly heading towards a Jeff Lacy like career.

    he should really think about walking away before he gets long term damage. he's taken far too many punches for a young fighter.

    when it's over, it's over. for his own sake.

    That's a fight I'd like to see as a cross-roads fight should Khan lose to Alexander.

    Two fighters who consistently are in entertaining fights, are vulnerable, and share the same elite attribute (they both have elite handspeed, they're not elite fighters mind you).

    It's not so much that he's lost a few fights, it's the way he loses. He always gets into wars and gets hammered.

    I think berto had a lot of athleticism and could have been so much better if he sharpened his fundamentals, lost a few pounds of muscle, and fought at JWW.

    So true, he has the heart, but his D is awful for any level of opposition, let alone against the string very good fighters and hard punchers he has faced in the last 4 years.
