Will look forward to this as Khan really has to win this one (by any means) to keep himself in the picture.

I'd imagine both guys will be looking towards Floyd after victory, which at this point in Floyd's career is fair enough (would make more sense if Khan won, I think).

I'm leaning towards a Alexander victory. Khan just can't sustain these kind of attacks he likes without getting nailed and without loosing the plot. Assuming Alexander puts his feet in forward gear, he may even grab a stoppage.

I'll be rooting for Khan though. How about you guys?
I agree with everything you said except the rooting for Khan part :-)

I like Khan's skills, but he has let me down and it's hard for me to root for the guy - his interviews don't seem to indicate to me that he understands that he is not the top of the heap anymore. Rather, he is a very talented guy who has not quite lived up to his billing consistently. He shows flashes of absolute brililance, and then does things that are inexplicable given his advantages over his opponents.

I also take Alexander, only because he is the more consistent guy - which is funny, because given his skills, I would have taken Khan a few years ago. His is simply more talented than Alexander in my opinion, but Alexander is (dare I say it?) the more intelligent fighter if we look at recent history.
Ha! Well, being from England - I guess I had been sucked in to believing Khan was a national treasure following on from Athens '04 and I've been a mild fan ever since.

But your right. Although you've put it politely, Kahn is totally deluded but that's what makes him kinda captivating. Although maybe at this point in his career, that head strong approach is fairly predictable.

Devon seems to give his full attention to his corner, as much as I can't stand Kevin Cunningham. Could be way off but just seems like an enormous ego in a baseball cap spouting half-sense/ clichéd advise.

I do wonder what the game plan will be from Devon - I know he is fairly comfortable with counter-punching but given Khans reach and speed, I think he does need to press fairly consistently (I will be VERY impressed if he doesn't).
