    The Gaz-meister reckons he wouldn't have got this shot if he wasn't with Don King.

    I always get Devon Alexander and "Mean" Joe Greene mixed up and I've no idea why.

    One of them is okay and the other is poor.

    Good to hear, Witter deserves another shot at the belt. Gotta presume the fight will be in the states, but we'll see whereabouts.

    Interesting to see who will pick up the TV rights for this. Unless Hennessy offers it at a knockdown price to itv or setanta, it may well be another webcast.

    Please, please, please Mick do the sensible thing and make sure its on itv1, with a nice repeat the next day.:D

    We can't have a repeat of what happened with Froch v Taylor.

    Theres no one on Alexanders record (except his manager/ promoter!!!) to justify giving him a number 1 ranking for the last 12 months.

    Given Witter wins, can you see a Witter-Khan match up in the future?If so who wins?

    Witter would win. Khan has the speed, but Witter still has more experience and skills. Khan should avoid Witter at this stag of his career.

    The general forum seem to think this is a walk over for alexander the time i brought it up. If Witter shows up Witter TKO for me
