    Robert Guerrero or Devon Alexander?


    It always comes down to Khan's chin.

    I'd favor Khan heavily in either match up

    so neither

    but if i was forced to choose, I'd say Guererro

    Still the Alexander fight is more interesting to me

    Definitely Robert Guerrero!

    The Ghost has underrated skills and he can punch hard enough to hurt Khan once he gets inside.

    oh my ,

    Both are B level fighters who at some point had links to Floyd and therefore somehow become legitimate A level fighters.

    Khan hammers both.

    Guerrero could possibly pose a bigger stylistic threat if Khan didnt have his footwork right but I think Alexander might have an edge in power at 147 and is less predictable and less basic. I think they are fairly even in terms of risk.

    Alexander has a style advantage imo. Plus he has the power to end Khan with one punch.

    I'd actually be surprised if Khan won this fight. If he did win convincingly I guess I'd consider him top 6 at the weight

    Floyd
    Pac
    Bradley
    Marquee
    Brook
    Khan

    I think Guerrero matches up slightly better. A big part of that would be that Guerrero can adapt better and I feel has the better gas tank and commitment to volume. I think highly of both Guerrero and Alexander, so by no means am I not happy with Khan/Alexander.

    His awesome KO of Urango was too long ago, I'm afraid... Anyway, I agree with your sentiment of the rankings should Khan win decisive. Alexander also falls into that same spot should he win (as he's a lot closer to it now).

    Devon, by far.

    Devon's best assets are the things that Khan does best... hand speed, boxing upright in the center of the ring, winning in the clinch, etc. I am a fan of Alexander and have been for a while but I don't think he matches up quite as well as Guerrero does against Khan.
