Khan looking for a December opponent. [Team Alexander Responds]

Khan said to Sky Sports “I have tried to get Devon Alexander. It was looking promising. He said he wanted to fight at the start and now it slowly seems that he is not 100 per cent sure about it, coming up with excuses…It’s all about moving to that big fight against Floyd Mayweather. Hopefully, getting this win against Alexander will get me into that fight.”

Apparently, Schaefer went to Dubai recently and things were looking good to host an event there. Alexander obviously doesn't want to fight there and I can't blame him after the unprofessional event that was Zhong vs Cuello. Amir Khan said he doesn't mind to fight him the US though I'm not really going to take Khan's word for it since he also said he's ready to rematch the guys that sparked him only to cruise away shamelessly.

Kevin Cunningham responds to Amir Khan's nonsensical comments, as expected and usual.

"Devon has never ducked anybody. He faced the biggest punchers in the division... Maidana, Matthysse, Urango and Bailey. So why would he duck a glass-jawed con job like Amir. Hey Amir, you and your dad stop ****ing around, sign the contract so Devon can check your chin and make you do the St. Louis boogaloo".

:rofl :rofl Seen it.

If he's seriously being considered for Mayweather in 2014 then he's definitely worth discussing for now.

 

After Alvarez, an easy payday is understandable. Khan definitely doesn't deserve it but his management clearly know it's his last hope for a payday.

 

You could be right, I wouldn't be surprised if he's talking smack for publicity again. After all, I'm sure not many heard/remember this, but Khan called out Mayweather for a 4 rounder after his first professional debut. :rofl

 

They keep coming because they're on the news at the moment and related to boxing on a boxing forum. How often do I discuss terrible British fighters? :huh. I barely start threads as it is and when I do it's related to interesting recent news. Amir Khan clearly claimed that Alexander is scared/ducking while in reality it's the complete opposite because no official offer was sent. The only thing mentioned was a possible fight in Dubai and nothing else. We have been hearing this from people representing Khan and nothing from Alexander yet we make judgments rather than waiting to hear from both sides. Now that Alexander responded I made a thread about it.

 

You might want to give team Alexander's response a proper look. The only reason Khan is chasing Alexander is because of his KO ratio, nothing else. They hope this will be the safest fight for him before he bumps into someone that sparks him half dead. Remember his light welterweight safe move?, when he started off going for guys with no KO records like Malignaggi and Kotelnik(bonus belt here too)? I smell a similar management plan at 147.
