    Khan will beat Alexander. Kotelnik and Matthysse also beat Alexander, but they were robbed in Alexander's home town..........

    I can not really see Khan winning this. Alexander is just as fast as Khan, even faster if Khan's last bout is anything to go by and to add to that he is just a much smoother boxer with a far sturdier chin. He seems a lot more solid at welter weight and I'll admit I thought Matthyse might have beaten him but there was nothing in that fight it was by no means the robbery I had read it was on here.

    Khan shouldnt take this fight its going to be the end of him.

    Alexander is very underated.

    If Khan loses to Alexander he is finished at world level and should really really think about retiring from the sport.

    Who would suggest he take on then? Its possible Alexander isn't even a Top 5 Welterweight at the minute, if Khan can't fight and beat someone who's around the peripherals at the weight he's already done.

    You still have JMM, Pac, FMay and Bradley. Then below that I wouldn't say Alexander was a clear 5th, you could argue it for sure but it isn't definitive. And don't get me wrong I see Khan getting stopped as well, I was just saying IF people are saing he shouldn't be facing Alexander as its too dangerous then Khans already cooked at anywhere near World level.

    Yeah i think Alexander is 5th aswell
    Khan is done at world level he shoulda tried to fight Guerrero or maybe Karass, stylewise he had a better chance

    Alexander is skilled and improving with every fight plus he looks much better at 147

    The real problem Khan faces is he's between two of the deepest divisions in the sport at the moment. The guys stuck between a rock and a hard place in regard to divisions. 140 has Lucas and Garcia, 147 has a plethora or talent that would **** his **** up, and even a fair few prospects I think would give him a real run.
