How is that so when Alexander is fighting a guy Khan already beat easily? Malignaggi was an event that drew well and made money for his promoter. Khan has fought decent guys just as Alexander and Bradley have. Alexander could have fought Prescott now. Would have been nice for HBO to mention that Khan already beat the guy Alexander is fighting.
Until khan fights someone with some pop, you can expect this. They are moving khan along slowly. Now they are waiting for the winner of the JMM and Diaz 2 waist of time. It's also obvious that they are keeping him away from the bigger punchers since the prescott debacle. Just a part of his development. He's still young and took a step back with that fight. Now they are getting him back on track. I am waiting for him to fight someone dangerous. I think JMM is dangerous but Khan is something like a young bigger version of JMM minus the proven warrior heart. Technically they are simular. I want to see him in there with another fighter in thier prime who has some POP. As for Bradley, HE HAS BEEN OPENLY DUCKED BY ALL THE TOP 10 140LBs including Khan. As for Alexander, He's just lucky to get anyone who wants to deal with don king.
Well Alexander fought Urango in his last fight, who is a much bigger offensive threat than anyone Khan has faced besides Prescott and we all know what happened there. I'm not saying Khan is ****, but until he's put in with a real serious offensive threat he will not shake the 'protected' label. And whoever Alexander fights really has nothing to do with it. Let's say, hypothetically, Alexander fights Erik Morales after Kotelnik. That would be horrible ofcourse, but would that make Khan any less protected? Don't think so, buddy!
