    Khan

    Alexander would start slow and that would hurt him big time. mid-late TKO for Khan if Alexander fails to deal with his speed and Khan would make him bleed FO SHO.

    It might be a decent first fight @ 147 for Khan


    Alexander just seems to be an underachiever and always will be.
     
  3. I can't see any way of Alexander winning this. Showed his glass heart against Bradley. Imagine what the speed and combo's of Khan would do to him.

    I dont know who'll win, i'd lean towards khan, but it would be closer than a fight between the two at 140. I mean, devon alexander is simply better at 147. i'd wanna see this fight for sure. I have newfound confidence in devon alexander after the way he beat maidana down.

    I'm not a fan of Alexander but if you look at his resume & yes some are very arguable he lost but the fact he's got the 'Win' next to these names are pretty impressive

    Mattheyse
    Kotelnik
    Maidana
    Urango (never been knocked out before)

    I'm not a fan of his style but he does fight the best out there.

    Khan UD. Alexander's tactics against Maidana wouldn't work at all against Khan, he'd beat him to the punch on the outside and at mid-range, and Alexander isn't really much of an inside fighter. I can't see him applying the pressure consistently to really trouble Khan that much.

    I guess, but it's a good reference point, considering it was the last time Alexander fought and that's the best I've ever seen him. He showed a lot of poise against Maidana, and I can't really see him changing his style up that much now.

    Khan carried some power up to 140 and didn't appear to lose any speed in the process. If that's the same for him moving to 147 then the only thing holding him back is his chn and how he handles pressure. I like Khan by UD with a few shaky rounds in-between

    117-112 Khan, however I wouldn't be surprised to see a majority decision if this was in America

    Alexander, r there any doubts after what we have seen in that ST Louis fight against Marcos Maidana? Khan has never gone north of the bborder either and he's definitely rushing in to a fight with Floyd with GBP to back him up. Members, fellas, assassin in particular, Devon has not been consistent when the goings got tough and he fell to Tim but he has better boxinh skills, maube a little less of handspeed and light feet like Khan has, but he as much power and being a southpaw and stayin active, It's a bad style match for Khan.

    tough one, either alexander looked a lot greater or maidana looked a lot slower at 147, or both

    tough call, but what would be funny is if khan lost to another bradley leftover

    Khan - Better boxer, faster and has that reach advantage to land from a distance where he can hit and not get hit.

    Alexander's last performance was a great improvement, but I still favor Khan. His timing, speed, and defensive control of distance win him the day.

    Khans speed will be too much for him
