    Matthysse & Kotelnik beat him on my cards....It's almost unanimous amongst boxing fans that Kotelnik beat him.

    I'd be dissapointed if Khan gave away more than 4 rounds. Alexander is a solid performer though.

    his ko per cent is higher than gurrero, but gurrero probabaly has more power but is the worse fighter in my view, alexander is underated and is pretty good his definetly a better welterweight than broner or the others that maidana beat to get the shot , plus he hammered maidana

    Never said he's a bad fighter. Alexander is world class for sure. However, his lack of KO power is the primal reason behind Khan and his team's decision to fight him.

    Alexander is a world class opponent, he's definitely not a joke. However, Khan and his team picked him due to his fighting style, which isn't aggressive, and lack of power.

    maybe man hes a good opponent i still think hed be harder than gurero im not sure how the fight goes thers a few scenarios i see but im not sure how it will play out really, devon is a little slicker in his movement but i think khan might be able to overpower him, old amir would hammer him i reckon

    He's definitely more skilled than Gurrero, that's guaranteed and proven. Despite his skill, Khan will feel free to display his speed at will without worrying much about Alexander's counters. When Khan isn't threatened aggressively or by obvious display of power from an opponent, he takes over in brutal fashion. I'm expecting that scenario here. Skill for skill, it's hard to dominate Khan when his speed will usually overwhelm skilled opponents, unless of course that opponent is Mayweather.

    Now while Gurrrero is less skilled in general, his fighting style would pose a greater threat against Khan. Guerrero will be in his face all night and that's a style Khan doesn't handle properly and might quickly crumble against at 147.

    yeah could happen his speed is more exploosive than alexander and could keep alexander on the backfoot and overwhelm him but alexander is quick himself and could make it hard for khan to land when i think hed hit gurrero no bother, il see closer to the fight.

    Can't see anyone ever ducking Khan tbh. He's a high reward, low risk fight.

    Let me say this one more time:

    KHAN IS NOT ON FLOYD'S LEVEL.

    He's not the master boxer his fanboys claim he is.

    You do realise what you just said will mostly be ignored?

    Or someone will counter it with a video of 'Khan beating up Judah and Maidana'

    Khan is not, never has been and will never be on Floyds level.

    Its like comparing Tommy Morrison to Mike Tyson.
