    Probably because theres been quite a lot of similar threads about these two already.

    Ill give you my 2cents.

    - Both guys are straight up boxers.

    - Neither likes pressure so with this fight both will have the room/space to do what they want without worrying too much about the other guy.

    - Khans chin or lack of is well known, Alexander has decent pop and could get a KO.

    - Alexanders chin is much better than Khans, Khans power is pretty poor once it goes past 3-4 rounds. I dont see Khan stopping Alexander, maybe drop him, but not stop.

    - Im not too well versed on measurements, but i think theyre evenly matched?

    - As both men have similar styles and are evenly matched, expect a pretty competitive, closely fought match. The question is, in this case who will the judges pick? Khan the money maker, or Alexander the 'home fighter'? Remember, last time Khan fought an American fighter (Peterson) he got screwed, could that happen again? And Alexander is known to have got the W in a couple of robberies.

    - In this sort of fight, I believe the judges will pick the more aggressive fighter, going into the fight, based on both fighters last fights, id say Alexander will fight as the aggressor. Khan has developed his new hit and hold tactics, that could possibly work against him and he could be docked a point for this?

    - Heart goes to Khan, but Khan also doesnt bring the kind of heat that Bradley/Porter did to cause Alexander any issues.

    - I also feel Alexander is the smarter fighter, i dont think Alexander would ever get sparked by Garcia or Prescott the way Khan did. Yes Alexander struggled with Kotelnik, but struggling and getting the W is better than being sparked in 1 round.

    Im picking Alexander to nick it, barely. Unless Khan ups his performance.

    Khan by decision if he can last 12 and not get caught. Anyone who can control distance in the ring will give DA trouble. Khan has quick feet and should beat up from the outside.

    Devon lost to Kotelnik, i must say if Khan doesn't beat Alexander up in a wide decision, he better be STFU about Mayweather. I'd favor Khan over Alexander before and i think Khan just has gone better during Hunter, it seems that Hunter has been working on some of his weaknesses. I am excited to see what Khan now brings to the table, he has been in with Hunter for one and a half year.

    Bumb since it's getting close to the fight.

    @persianprince - Yeah. For khan to earn a mayweather shot in the public's point of view, he requires to beat a devon or Guerrero 118-110 without getting knock down once, or a any score win over danny garcia/timothy bradley/kell-brook.

    If Alexander throws his usual 80 punches around. He will tire out Khan in the later rounds.

    I used to like Khan before when he was active and taking on all kind of contenders, now he has become way to inactive and he needs a good W on his resume now. His career has not being anything special since 2012

    @persianprince - atleast now he's fighting one of the elite levels. And yes... 2012 was the last time he fought an elite level.

    @likemike31 - Las vegas. You going there?

    Many people say one will totally school another along with some saying it's a 50/50 fight. I say it's 50/50 with devon having the edge.
