    How do you think this fight will go?

    I can see them making this fight instead of Maidana/Bradley and a chance to get the WBC title.

    yeah big possibility. Alexander isn't an easy one for him though but saying that neither is Bradley, Urango or the top lightweights. Now he's got that belt he really needs to step up t the plate in terms of opposition

    I saw nothing last night that made me think that Alexander would trouble this version on Khan. Khan late TKO:good.

    Yeah, that would be pretty typical. Cherrypicking the very easiest titleholder. Alexander looked average at best, luckily Witter was even worse.

    Hard to know isn't it

    Alexander didn't look great BUT he looked hungry, he's a leftie, he can punch

    A little like Bradley he was fit and did the basics well

    I think he'd be too strong for Khan


    Bradley looked very good, he would definitely be too much for Khan.

    He is kinda like Bradley, he seemed 'solid' but 'unspectacular'.

    Only really not quite as good as Tim Bradley. Tim Bradley was having a lot more success against Witter, and I think he's improving with every fight too.

    Yeah thought Bradley was flat against Holt - but he looked very good last night

    Holt's a decent fighter though

    Bradley's quickly becoming the man at 140 for me, if he's not already

    That said - I bet last nights fight turns into a no contest (rightly so)

    Maybe, it depends how they interpret the doctors view on things. It's only a NC if the doctor stops the fight, isn't it? Otherwise it goes down as a retirement/TKO.

    I'm not sure Nate Campbell deserves a NC because I believe he could have fought on, realised he was in a bad situation considering the context of the fight, and decided to try and escape with an easy payday and a NC on his record. It is in the doctors hands and the doctor thought he could have fought on, the fighter is supposed to have even more heart than the damn doctor.

    Plus the fact he was claiming he couldn't see when the blood was cleared from his face.

    I think it would be a good match up for both fighters. 50/50 fight for me as I have only really seen Alexander fight a couple of times. One of them would come out of it a double belt holder and therefore an attractive proposition for anyone else in the division. I think Bradley would have too much for either of them though.

    The doc stopped it... Nate said he couldn't see, so the doc said you can't fight on

    Don't get me wrong Nate was looking for a way out, big time

    And there is a small chance the cut was caused by a punch after the head collision

    But with King fighting his corner I bet it gets overturned

    Bradley's been the most under-rated champ in boxing since he beat Witter. He would take Khan down without too much fuss, and although I realise this sounds crazy I seriously think he would give Pacquiao more trouble than Cotto.
