AMIR KHAN....
Re: AMIR KHAN....
I understand why khan is gettin criticised on here,but how come the likes of Alexander are getting a free pass,he's fighting a non puncher in kotelnik?who khan has already beat comfortable enough. I wanna see khan fight the likes of maidana,Bradley,Alexander etc but one things is for sure jmm is a better opponent than kotelnik.
Re: AMIR KHAN....
Would you be happy if khan fought either of them next?
Re: AMIR KHAN....
the big three aren't fighting each other so they have to fight top contenders that are either a) approved by HBO and/or b) top contenders/mandatories for the titles they hold. as such, they may end up fighting each other's opponents at times.
alexander for instance has already beaten a bradley-victim: junior witter. next he's fighting a khan victim. from alexander's point of view, he can't get a bradley or khan, can he? not that i'm a big fan of him, never mind giving him a free pass, etc.
like i said above, HBO have grabbed the apparent names at 140, now they have something to lose, i.e.. a regular, 2 times a year HBO TV date. so it'll be harder to match bradley, alexander and khan.
anyway, let's quit pretending. bradley and alexander are more likely to get pressured into fighting one another, sooner or later. let's not pretend khan is going to get stuck in. maybe he'll wait for the winner of a fight like that, perhaps when they have shown signs of sufficient decline. khan will maybe outlast them. bradley looks like a fighter who won't be able to keep up such a level of intensity, for instance. with his build and style, he could be one who burns out pretty soon.
does anyone think the berto-mosley winner could be a tarrget for khan to gun for, at welterweight?

Re: AMIR KHAN....
so it seems HBO are pushing for braldey-alexander unification in late jan 2011.
that would suggest it's no big deal that alexander is acing kotelnik first. if alexander is going on toward an extremely tugh fight with bradley.
obviously bradley - in dominating a tough welterweight abregu - has had his crack at trying to get noticed as a pacquiao opponent, but he has little chance of landing that fight.
but if he were to beat alexander, then ppl would take notice...

Re: AMIR KHAN....
Maidana is fighting DeMarcus Corley next according to Ash Theophane..............for the WBA Interim title....WTF.
Re: AMIR KHAN....
no doubt saturday's marquez v diaz rematch will fuel more debate regarding khan.
has khan got it easy compared to his peers, bradley and alexander, whom it seems will be pushed into risking it all vs each other?
will khan be left in the shadow of the above, if they engage in a thrilling rivalry? will he be towered over by the winner, a fighter who will hold 3 of the 4 world titles?
or are even the current incarnations of marquez and diaz (i.e. fading) bigger names and better box office than badley and devon; and will khan's apparently superior bargaining power (HE doesn't have to fight an alexander or bardley to get on HBO) ultimately leave him having the last laugh?

No thats a defense of Maidanas interim title!He won that when he beat Ortiz and khan has been ducking/paid him step aside money since that happened.DavidPayne wrote:Maidana is fighting DeMarcus Corley next according to Ash Theophane..............for the WBA Interim title....WTF.
