In the recent issue of ***** ******, Amir Khan has ripped into Devon Alexander. This is what he had top say: ''I think he's seriously overrated and I know ill destroy him if and when we meet. Who's he fought? An old Junior Witter, who I never thought much of anyway, and that overhyped Urango who was exposed by Hatton. Now he's fighting Kotelnik who I shut out 12 months ago. ''He needs to be given tougher fights. He's just getting hype because he's American and they're desperate for a new Golden boy. He's fighting nobodies. If he wants to be taken seriously why doesnt he fight Bradley. I'll fight Maidana, then the winners can meet. ''From what ive seen he is strong, hard hitting and aggresive. All he brings is power. I see a lot of mistakes and neither his work rate or defence are the best. His hands are very low. Om not sure he could take my shots. I think he's a very good style for me. Im one of the fastest fighters in the world. You'll notice he never calls me out. He knows he couldnmt cope.'' :blood
Personally think that both of these guys have great potential but neither have fought a great level of opposition yet. Chuck em in and let's see what we get out . . oh, and nice avatar! Who is it?
From what I have seen of alexander (admittedly very little) I'd have to agree with Khan. He seems to be another big American hype job. his choice of opponents is as bad as khan's if not worse and those yanks who say he is the best at 140 and is better than hatton ever was are clearly in denial. I seriously think he would be ruthlessly exposed by khan and bradley and beaten by ortiz and maidana as well probably. As for khan ,its all well and good him saying this, he needs to get in the ring with them and prove he is the best. I actually think he could beat all of them at 140
Khan and Bradley now getting it on where it all matters....twitter :bbb looking at the early exchanges amir is going to make a twat of himself again, seriously someone needs to take him off this ****.
I don't buy it. Khan is respectful about everyobdy when he's in front of a camera. Then in press releases he's slagging everybody off. Somebody is writing those for him.
Bradleys crack so far.... @AmirKingKhan Your ego is too big. Humble yourself before someone shatters your glass jaw! @AmirKingKhan Dude i highly doubt you would have beaten Kendal Holt in 2009, maybe now but not when i fought him @AmirKingKhan you paid Maidana step aside money your the ducker son! @AmirKingKhan I avoided Kotelnik and Salita?? Please explain how i avoided them? I think your the ducker whos your mandatory? Maidana @RAtheRuggedMan he sent me a dm saying hes going to face Maidana or Ortiz next so i ain got a problem with that. If he face Marquez then @AmirKingKhan lol Amir your showing your immaturity dude. It isn't about a pay day its about unifying the titles and respect RT @RAtheRuggedMan: @AmirKingKhan officially is a *****.. He said BRADLEY next now he's on twitter looking for excuses. That's some BITC ... @AmirKingKhan If you face Maidana next fair enough hes your mandatory but if you face Marquez you know their will be a backlash against you @AmirKingKhan you gotta be a man and tell Richard Schaefer you wanna face legit 140 pounders not blown up lightweights. @AmirKingKhan dude what you talking about beleive in my own hype? Iv beaten Holt, Peterson, Witter, Campbell I desrve a pay day @AmirKingKhan Until you face me you will never get the respect Period! So who you going to face next then? Peace out twitter fam just had to let a few things off my chest. Going to bed goodnight! No more Mr Nice guy! If I have to insult @amirkingkhan to get the fight then so be it. Amir stop being a sissy and fight me I dare you!
