It is real simple.
If Khan wins impressively he likely will get the shot at Mayweather in Spring/Summer. If he loses well, let’s just say he better not lose.
“There are just little details that we are finishing but Khan and Alexander are going to fight,” De La Hoya told ESPN.com on Monday.
“Amir Khan looked good against my boy Collazo, but I have a feeling he wants to make a statement against Alexander, and Alexander is coming off a good win in a good action fight with Soto Karass,” De La Hoya said. “What’s happening here is they realize they have to prove themselves if they want to get a really big fight, like against Mayweather.”
If Alexander wins he could be a darkhorse candidate for Mayweather.
