    Since Pacquiao-Mayweather won't happen this fall, this has become the perfect opportunity for Alexander and Khan to fight.

    If the fight happens, Alexander-Khan will be the biggest and most anticipated fight left in 2010.

    A lot is at stake in this fight. Not only are 3 titles on the line, but also the Fighter of the Year award. Who takes it all home?

    It would be a great fight , ive got Alexander in both scenarios TBH though , i think fundamentally he's better than Khan , @140 he looks to be just a little bit busier , and packs more too !!!!

    If Khan can take his power it has the hall marks for a classic , if he cant ive got Alexander by 2 or 3 in a close but decisive win :deal

    But i will add , i like Bradley over both of them , i see a lot of people favouring Alexander as the #1 out of the 3 but i fancy Bradley TBH .

    I'm not sure how you worked out Alexander/Khan to be the biggest fight in boxing after Mayweather/Pac.

    Anyway, despite them being at a similar stage in their careers, Alexander has that toughness which Khan simply doesn't. I'd expect him to win by mid to late stoppage.

    I think Khan will win a few rounds with his speed, but once Alexander cracks him, it will be over and fairly quick. Alexander by KO in 5.

    favor alexander with that cracking uppercut, he has the best chance to beat khan out of anyone at 140

    I'm still not 100% sold on Alexander

    He beat a washed up Witter, a very slow Urango and now he's fighting a guy in Kotelnik that Khan more or less pitched a shut out against. The KO against Urango was very impressive but even so I feel he is being a little overated. I see the potential in a similar way that there is massive potential in Khan. But I find it strange that Devon gets praised while Amir gets critisied.

    They are both at a similar stage of there careers and would be very interesting. I just see it as a little early to gage how it would go as there are still more questions than answers about both.

    I honestly think Alexander has the pop to knock Khan out.

    Wont happen......ever!!! but if it did alexander within about 8 rounds.Khan would have to open up his defence or get pounded and when he does his paper mache chin will be exposed again!

    It's a combination of the big mouth, the GBP protection, the chin, and the ethnicity.

    The Kotelnik fight will be a good test of his actual boxing ability far as I can tell, should be interesting to see where Devon's at right now.

    One was knocked out in 54 seconds by a C level fighter and is now being kept away from big punchers, the other is still undefeated and it doesn't look like they're trying to keep him away from anyone. That's why one gets more **** than the other. Let Devon lose or look vulnerable against Kotelnik, and he'll get a ton of criticism.
