    Hearing that @AmirKingKhan - @TheRealDevonA is far from a lock for December, largely because of Khan's lack of interest in the fight

    Chris Mannix ‏@ChrisMannixSI 1h
    When asked, @GoldenBoyBoxing's Richard Schaefer told me that "it still looks like" DA/Khan in December but "who knows, that might change."

    I'm a huge fan of Khan but if he's trying to get a soft fight in December so as not to ruin his chances for a Mayweather fight then what a..

    There are rumours that Hunter is against it and wants them to work together more before taking the fight

    More likely that it isn't generating enough interest or money than either man reluctant to fight.
    And i'd say it's alexanders fault nobody likes this guy after his dreadful hugging of maidana went unpunished and his other gift decisions not many do want to fight alexander and be robbed even when they beat him ?

    Of all the things to accuse Khan of I'd say ducking isn't one of them anymore I thought ? same as when people accused Bradley of running from khan because he said what if I lose I wont get the pac fight ? so by the same token are you accusing Bradley of taking an easy fight instead of khan before pacman ?

    They have a history of it.

    When he was developing they ducked everyone who could punch (until they picked a puncher by mistake - prescott) at British and commonwealth level.

    They then did everything possible to avoid Maidana including having goldenboy give him a lucrative new deal aslong as he didn't force the khans to fight him as he was owed a shot at khans wba belt. Eventually maidana sacked his manager or something and demanded the fight and khans had to take it

    The only fight I give Khan credit for taking is the Judah fight

    But alexander cannot punch REALLY he isn't a heavy hitter at all cant see khan running scared of alexander on any level here.

    You need to watch this AND they made it 10 rounds so alexander could hug his way to a desperate points win

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4If7vEUAnPU

    sometimes things aren't black and white I am sure A LOT of boxers could hit and hold maidana just as easily for 10 rounds and eek out a decision

    if they were never warned of holding

    Khans already dominated a guy that beat alexander with ease and got robbed (see the pattern here) in kotelnik

    Khan destroys alexander imo it's easy work for khan

    He may not be a spectacular 1-punch KO artist, but he packs decent power. It's hard to imagine Khan standing up to the uppercut that stopped Urango.

    Search me up. This is what I said about the fight too. Who the **** wants to see a match hugging another guy for 12 rounds. Alexander initiated 110 clinches on that fight. ****ing ridiculous reffin.

    As for Khan given his last fight with Diaz is he stupid enough to go to '47 without a tuneup?

    I could be Alexanders awkward style is causing the worry and they want more time to work on it than the 10 weeks they have

    Urango was weight drained and hardly has gone on to great things before or after

    So what? Do you think Khan could take that uppercut?

    Whether or not Devon could land a shot like that on Khan remains to be seen, but my point stands: It is difficult to imagine Khan absorbing a shot like that.

    You disagree?

    Khans already taken harder uppercuts from peterson maidana and judah and garcia (before the tko) alexander cannot bang its a myth.
    So if anything I'd say team alexander are more reluctant it's hard to imagine anyone beating khan unless they have world class ko power which alexander doesn't have.

    Alexander holds so much in that fight no points were deducted.

    Khan pushes vs a PEDS cheat and gets 2 points deducted.

    Plus pushing is a lesser foul than holding in my eyes.

    Except none of what you stated is True.....!
    Seems like you are fast developing a history making bull**** posts on Khan.

    So how about just making a thread called. "I Hate KHAN".

    Devon Alexander beats the present version of Khan every day of the week and twice on Sundays thats a Fact.......! So lets stick to the facts.

    Which bit would you like to claim isn't true so I can embarrass you with sources?
