    If alexander beats bradley then will he have achieved more than khan?

    i think yes, so alexander doesn't need to take the khan fight, i would like it if he would, but alexander would prefer to fight someone like judah who is an easier fight, which can do good numbers, and could be a unification fight if judah wins the IBF title. maybe after this fight it will be the right timing for alexander to take khan.

    Alexander looks and speaks like a complete dullard. Limited mind equals limited fighter. He’s not exactly multi-dimensional in the ring, but his athleticism and hand speed will let him carve up the Urangos of the world.

    Khan’s not much brighter in all honesty, but has a much smarter trainer. That balances things out.

    Against a guy like Bradley, who clearly IS smart, they won’t have much chance. They think Bradley’s a wild puncher? He uses looping shots, but I’d never categorise his work as wild.

    And at least he doesn’t just jab at air all night.

    I don't think either of them will fancy taking on Khan next.

    Bradley has already tested the waters at 147 and I wouldn't be surprised to see him chasing a fight there if/when he gets passed Alexander

    If smarts was a big factor in the ring, Nicky Piper would have murdered Nigel Benn...

    Intelligence is a huge factor in the best champions. I think Benn is pretty smart, maybe not academically, but there’s more than just one sort of intelligence. Also, Piper just wasn’t physically talented enough. It’s a combination of factors.

    Anyway – look at the recent stand-outs: Pacquiao, Cotto, Marquez, Calzaghe, Hopkins, Wright, Lewis and the Klitschkos. They have physical talents and they have skills, but it’s their intelligence and ability to carry out the plan that makes them great.

    It’s why Chad Dawson won’t ever be great – he has the skills, but not the brains or the attitude to execute.

    Alexander's performance against Kotelnik has to be one of the most clueless I've ever seen. He didn't adjust at all.:patsch
    Worst robbery of 2010 after Shuemenov/Campillo.

    He doesn't say he won't fight Khan, to me it reads as him saying that he shouldn't have to fight Khan to prove he's the best in the division if he beats Bradley.

    He's drawn some good crowds in St Louis. it seems a pretty good city to be based out of, Cory Spinks was always as dull as **** and he at his peak had 20,000+ crowds there.

    to me,alexander seem to be worried or lacking in mental strengh with all this over talk,keeps talking over time,trying to convince himself that bradley is mentally weak and not equal to him.

    and to downplay khan and look to duck him before he even gets past bradley.

    i doubt marquez pac or floyd would fight alexander when they can all fight each other and make more money.
