Amir looked absolutely brilliant against Alexander but there is a reason for that. Alexander is a boxer/counterpuncher. His style was perfectly suited for Khans offensive ability to shine on. Where Khan struggles is with swarmer/puncher/pressure fighters. He's been beaten by some with not even half the boxing skills he has. The moment he's forced backward he falls apart. His fight or flight mechanism betrays him. Instead of using the ring and getting out of the quagmire, he squares up and chooses to fight. Alvarez is not a style that plays well for Khan and when you add the size thing it does not look good.

Who knows though how much Khan bulks up. It may serve him better to be 152 at the weigh in and not rehydrate to much. It would be a mistake imo to compromise the speed advantage. He's going to be outweighed by 20 pounds anyway. It would sure be some ultimate karma if Khan was able to win this thing. Alvarez's stock would drop like a rock. The catchweight champion who ducks the best in the division getting beat by a guy that had no business being there.
