I think the Khan - Alexander winner is a pretty clear frontrunner for the Mayweather sweepstakes. Their only competition is Kell Brook (who is recovering from a stabbing), Keith Thurman (who can't really draw flies to sh*t just yet, nor has he beaten anyone more noteworthy than Zaveck and Soto Karass), and Danny Garcia (who has been pretty eligible for the Mayweather sweepstakes for 15-29 months, but Mayweather passed him up at every juncture, and Garcia has probably hurt his stock if anything with his last two fights).

Like it or not, Adrien has won titles in 3 divisions. Thats impressive even with the title bonanza we got going on nowadays.

Holy crap, that's incredible. Broner, and Maidana by extension, are very cool.

Now if only this fight featured a boxer who beat Maidana, like Alexander did.
... and also another boxer who beat Maidana, like Khan did.

Man oh man, a fight between two boxers who both beat Maidana... heck, the winner of that fight would probably be better than Maidana. ... Mayweather gave Maidana a shot, right? Oh, two shots?

I have said it before, but regardless of who wins, it doesn't put them in a position for a fight with Floyd. Brook deserves it more than either guy, and actually has something to bring to the table, a belt. Brook beat the guy that dominated Alexander. Khan is stupid and wasting his time fighting Alexander now, even though it is a good fight for both. It is obvious he is avoiding guys that would knock him silly, and knows Devon is not a big puncher.

Yes, both beat Maidana. Khan got a gift and help from the ref to save getting KO'd at 140, and Alexander fought an unmotivated Maidana ready to quit boxing. Regardless, still good wins, but doubt if either would beat Maidana now. This fight is only Khan's second fight at 147. Danny Garcia, who KO'd Khan in 4 rounds, should be in line next ahead of either of these guys.

No horse in the race with this fight, but hope Alexander wins by KO.
