    Wouldn't you take both pay packets, one each year.

    Of course you would.


    next question, Bradtard.

    No he didn't, Bradley turned down the Khan fight because he was sitting out his contract with his promoter. He didn't fight anyone until that contract was finished and he then signed with Arum. Quite a while later he fought Pacquiao

    Judah was his highest profile win but Maidana was his best win IMO. He showed some serious guts that night.

    I don't blame ANYONE not wishing to fight Alexander in his home country ?

    Guys like an american sven ottke almost, lucas beat him got robbed kotelnik beat him got robbed so it's pretty clear if devon wins 3 or 4 rounds he either gets the win or a draw.

    Khan's been on the recieving end of some very favourable officiating himself.
    14 second count v Willie Limmond, Barrera's cut being let go long enough to ensure a win for Khan instead of a NC, ref practically holding him up in the Madaina fight when if Khan was dishing out the same punishment to the Argentinian the fight would be stopped. So he can hardly use Alexander's questionable victories as an excuse not to fight now can he?

    Doesn't matter who it is I don't even like khan, people have the right and a pass not to fight alexander in my book based off his gift decisions when he has clearly lost.

    khan has never got a decision when he's clearly lost on points.

    Alexander is going to struggle to find an opponent in america after people watch him hug maidana to death for 10 rounds and get away with it.

    No he's never got a gift decision via points but being given every possible opportunity to stay in the fight when by rights he would have been stopped by Limmond and Maidana, it amounts to the same thing really. He still needed help numerous times to win fights just like Alexander so if that's his reason not to take this fight it's quite a hypocritical one.

    That's true but alexanders are high profile fight robberies not help early on in his career.
    Come on kotelnik clearly beat him as did matthysse.

    He is trying to cash out with Mayweather. He knows a few more Ko losses will be it for him.

    I agree he clearly lost those fights, can't see Khan being robbed though. It's a winnable fight for Khan and would go a long way
    to justifying the Mayweather fight so he should go for it in my opinion. If he can't beat someone like Alexander, who doesn't pose too much of a risk with power or pressure, where can he go from here...

    No it's not bollox at all, Maidana beat the count, got up, fought on and had Khan in all sorts of trouble later in the fight. Khan was being tossed around the ring like a ragdoll and the ref helped him, he didn't help Maidana. Should the ref have stopped Darren Barker when he was dropped by Geale?

    So that fight was in the states? Doesn't that just mean that Khan, up until he came up against a ref who didn't give a **** about his name in the Peterson fight, was given all the help he needed whether fighting at home or on foreign soil? That's worse surely?

    Khan has better chance vs Ortiz... Than alexander even though ortiz is the much bigger puncher...he has mental issues
