Alexander vs. Maidana in March?

The Alexander-Maidana fight is nearly done, and rumour has it HBO want Khan to co-feature with the winners of both fights to face each other, which feeds the rumour of the HBO 140 tournament. I hear Khan could face either Nate Campbell, Juan Urango, Paulie Malignaggi or possibly Victor Ortiz. I think Khan vs. Ortiz would be a little cracker.

140 is pretty stacked now with Bradley, Alexander, Khan, Peterson, Malignaggi (ugh) and the wild card is Maidana who has the capability to beat every one of them with a possible exception for Bradley. Alexander doesn't seem to be as sharp as a boxer as I once thought he was but a lot of that no doubt has to do with his inactivity. You can blame that on Don King. This is an excellent fight but Alexander should dominate so long as he uses his ring smarts and doesn't get suckered into trading. He's a guy who, unlike Ortiz, doesn't have to throw in combinations to have an effective offense so I don't think he'll fare too bad. Excellent fighter.
