    Two young prospects working for Oscar. I could see this fight happening after Oscar builds up both for awhile. Very early to be making calls but who do you think takes it?:think

    Khan has the faster hands and better reflexes, but he won't have much of a height or reach advantage over Alvarez. Prescott was also about the same height. Neither has fought elite opposition yet, but I think Khan wins the first rounds, but Canelo's discipline and cool head start breaking Khan down. It would be similar to Cotto-Judah. Maybe a split decision for Alvarez or even a draw depending where they fought.

    Alvarez needs to work on his accuracy, concealing his shots, and countering off the ropes. Good thing he's only 19.:good

    I think he needs to work on keeping his right hand higher and keeping his chin lower when he punches.

    He is accurate

    Conceals his shots well

    He usually hardly ever is on the ropes

    Can Khan fight welter weight? Alvarez needs to work on his speed but I still say he beats Khan
