    @140 (2009-2011) without a doubt Khan wins this one


    @147 2014


    Who the fck knows...Khan hasn't fought a boxer of Devon's quality in a long time. History would show us that Khan would "School" him... but Khan is ALOT different at 147...the guy is huge...weighs like 157 on fight night, has lost some speed, defintly has lost stamina and his style has been changed ALOT under Virgil. His jab isn't as good anymore...but he is more composed & if you don't think he has pop prepare to be surprised (although it won't matter since Alexander is iron chinned - will he cut though?)

    INTERESTING FIGHT.

    yeap people keep breaking down the fight like its the same guy from 147, he's way less mobile and i reckon hes going to bit by bit start favouring the inside against guys hes bigger than like alexander, he tries to hurt guys now to and punches from different angles but hes there to be hit at the same time but i bet he wont be caught as clean, this fight will be a bit of a battle and there be clinches from khan i think 116-112 khan. that said im less confident in him than ever

    Khan neutralizes Southpaw lead hands well with his lead hand, and Alexander doesn't like being rushed or out-sped (Bradley, Porter). He's easily put into a shell when made uncomfortable. The power is always a concern but I expect Khan to basically do what he did against Judah. Khan UD.

    Khan comfortable decision is my pick. Always the outside chance when you face Khan of Alexander stoppage though. I'll be rooting for Alexander but there's a chance he gets dominated here where I don't really see him being able to beat Khan in a strategic or outside fight. Alexander has not hurt an opponent since KO'ing Urango.

    Going for a Khan win. IF Alexander tries to sit on the backfoot and counter he's going to get outsped. Khan is real good against Leftie as well and has a good lead right hand he likes to sneak in. I think Alexander has to meet Khan head on fight fire with fire and try and put Khan on the back foot almost fight him like a pressure fighter

    Alexander needs to land the uppercut and let his hands go. Dont get discouraged, dont let Khan get into a rhythm.

    Upper cut & left-hook. He'd need to throw a lot if he wants to knock khan out cause the guy has too much heart. Lots of big swinging shots...and maybe...

    Khan has much more crowd, and judge pleasing combos.

    I doubt either opponent will really hurt each other (khan more likely to hurt Alexander IMO), so I personally think Khan will pick up the early stages of the fight, slow down and then Alexander will come on strong at the end but it wont be enough.
