    i just think devon is a more proven fighter at 147 when you take in the 140 fights too as a good few of them fought there and are now at 140, besides scraping berto and losing to floyd and getting in a war with kamegi gurrero fought at lighter weights for his best accomplishments.

    Id rather the gurero fight though i tink it would be a funner fight to watch

    Excerpt from my link (it doesn't give reasons, just a semi-pointless speculative article about Guerrero's tweet saying it was never offered to him):

    "

    Before the Alexander fight was agreed on, Khan had been saying that Alexander and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero were two of the names that they were looking at for his December fight. However, Guerrero says that the fight against Khan was never even offered to him.

    “The [Khan] fight was never offered to me,” Guerrero said on his twitter.

    Some boxing fans were under the impression that the 31-year-old Guerrero had priced himself out for the Khan fight, because otherwise they felt he would be the guy that Khan would be facing instead of Alexander. But with Guerrero now saying he was never even approached for the fight, it tells you that Khan’s management were looking in a completely different direction altogether.

    Alexander may have been their guy from the start.

    It makes you wonder why Guerrero, the arguably bigger name than Alexander, wasn’t approached by Khan’s management for the fight. A Khan-Guerrero fight would clearly be a more interesting fight than Khan-Alexander.

    Why would you call me a "twat" for posting an excerpt of an article?

    He thought being the losing B-side of a PPV warranted a huge spike in salary per fight... He got paid a lot for Kamegai considering he was unranked and largely unknown. He and Golden Boy both claimed to have gotten past it when that fight was signed, though.

    No, not at all. I even referred to the article as "semi-pointless speculat(ion)," if you read what I said.

    Having negotiations and being offered the fight are two entirely separate issues...

    Do you factually know that the fight was offered to Guerrero? No, you don't... Unless you were there in the room during the "negotiations," in which case please speak up.

    Discredits one report from Twitter... cites another Twitter source.

    "reportedly" is your key word.

    Just like the excerpt I posted was a report citing Guerrero's twitter post.

    I never once claimed to know or have an opinion on the matter, since I don't pretend to be in negotiations. I just linked the article from the front of ESB as it relates to this thread.

    You should chill out with name calling and taking offense to something so innocent of anything that would warrant that.

    Alexander has the better 147 resume because of the Maidana win, that is true. All else would be equal at 147 between them...

    But couldn't we also cite Alexanders' losing 10 of 12 rounds to Shawn Porter even more recently and looking ridiculously limited and unable to adapt in that fight as a reason that he has no chance? Especially considering his asset of speed is negated by Khan being even faster.

    I think Guerrero poses a far greater threat to Khan than Alexander does stylistically, but defeating either at this point means roughly the same. I'm glad Khan is fighting either of them.

    Well that sounds sarcastic...

    I just found your bitterness odd. It's the internet, sorry if my tone came across poorly.
