    I pick Alexander. Khan is not ready to fight for a title yet. He needs to test his defense with another couple of fights.

    Very good fight IMO. I think Khan will be the favorite, but I personally like Alexander in this matchup. He's looked pretty damned good at ww and I don't like the way Khan has shown in recent fights.

    I've always said this fight will go down to heart and who wants it more. We've seen that Khan has the heart to fight on and Alexander has proven to give up.

    Although Devon has looked good at WW, this is still the major test for him. He needs a fight like this to prove he deserves to be in the ring with Floyd. Unfortunately for Khan, a win against Alexander still doesn't make him worthy enough for a fight with Mayweather.

    Khan changed trainers to try and correct his mistakes and have a better defense but so far i have not seen any improvements in fact i actually think he has regressed as a fighter, i think the chances of him getting stopped are as big as when he was with Roach while his chances of winning have diminished compared to when he was with Roach, say what you will about Freddie Roach but when Khan was with him he never struggled to beat someone of the level of a Julio Diaz. The current version of Khan isnt beating any top fighter and that includes Devon Alexander who would make easy work of Khan.
