    What is this guy on? Pampered?

    This is coming from the guy who fought Kotelnik after Khan schooled him. Khan just fought Maidana, and wants to fight the winner and is being pampered?!

    And this is from the same guy who just said I don't need to fight Khan :patsch

    I hope this guy doesn't win against Bradley.

    I don't think he NEEDS to fight Khan as well, should he fight Khan sure he should, but if he beats Bradley there's lots of other great fights to be made with him depending how spectacular he looks.

    To be honest this is just boxing rhetoric, Devon has to act like he doesn't need the fight so when Khan trys to undercut him with a weak as (If he beats Bradley) purse he khan counter by saying " I can sell out my hometown **** your purse". THe reason Bradley is so willing to suck anyones dick and fight anywhere is because he cant do the same

    You must not think much about Bradley to make a commet about him like that. So he is only willing to fight everyone because he is not a big draw. If thats true We need more Bradleys in the game to get good fights then.

    Khan has been pampered. He's had one recent fight against a good opponent and now people are touting his resume? If Khan won't fight Peterson, he won't fight the winner of this one. He'll hide behind his typical "he asked for too much money" excuse for years.

    Kotelnik wasn't a big fight? And yet he gave Alexander trouble?

    Make up your mind.

    Either Kotelnik is a legit contender that gave Alexander trouble, and Khan beat him easily OR

    Kotelnik is a bum, and a bum gave Alexander trouble.

    Pick one, you can't have it both ways. Either way, Khan looks to be on a higher level than Alexander.

    Khan was definitely pampered under Warren and is probably too rich for his standing at this point, but the thing is, Khan has less to lose than any of these guys, yet he is the one most desperate to prove he's the best.

    That says a lot about Khan.

    I would call being smashed in the face by a guy like Maidana with repeated uppercuts pampered. Hey, that is just me.

    Kotlenik is in the top 10 at 140, but not really a player. He fought a good fight against Alexander. Style matchups often determine how good a fighter looks against an opponent; especially one with some skill.

    Your logic is flawed. Just because Bonecrusher Smith took Tyson the distance, it doesn't make Tyson a bum.

    Proving yourself and saying every reasonable opponent asks for too much money are different things. Even the Maidana fight nearly took an act of God to get made.

    ''He out priced himself !'' Sound familiar ? bob arum and freddy roach cherrypicking again ? Maidana had to fight as much to get the fight as he did in the fight . freddy and bob do'nt like challenges for thier fighters. !!

    He's also known to be very good against southpaws in general and was tearing through them in the amateurs. Out of all the top guys at light welterweight Alexander would be Khan's "easiest" fight IMO. Amir better hope for a Alexander win because conversely Bradley is his toughest match-up.
