    Size?? What size?? If you mean tall then sure. But Khan isn't bigger than Devon, at all. Their speed is compatible as well.

      I did mean tall. He's a speedy outside fighter, Alexander is a speedy outside fighter, I think Khan wins the outside fight. Not that I'm the least bit confident about that prediction, but I think Khan pulls it off. I expect a really ugly fight.

          I don't think Diaz has as much pop at 147 as Devon. And the thing you seem to ignore his is the disparity in chin strength. Devon has an excellent chin and Khan's isn't even average.

            I think it would benefit Devon if he fought aggressively against Khan. He's probably the stronger of the two and Khan tends to completely unravel on his back-foot. I'm not sure how good Devon's inside game is, but he's probably better in that area as well.

              I'm not ignoring the chin, but I don't think Devon hits hard enough or puts his punches together well enough to finish Khan if he did hurt him. Khan may get hurt easy, but he can take a hell of a beating while hurt, he's not that easy to put away. I'd be shocked if Alexander stopped Khan, unless Khan abandoned the style he's been trying with Hunter as his trainer.

                As soon as Khan gets hit, he reverts back to himself. The guy has heart, but he doesn't have the chin to last against the champions around him. Like it or not, Devon has had a decent welterweight run. Khan was hurt and dropped by a man that did his best work below 140. Devon is doing his best work right now. Devon had the power to hurt Maidana constantly and put him wherever he felt like putting him, that kind of power destroys Khan.

                  He is also feather fisted, I am certain Devon "It Buuuuuuuuuuuuurns" Alexander will be beaten to a pulp, he is B class fighter at best when he is on his best ever form. Everything bar a chin, Khan is far better at than Devon who has been living off Al Haymon gifts and lucky uppercut over one guy for years

                  But, that is just my opinion, what is yours? vote folks
                  devon wasnt even with Al when he had those fights, he signed with goldenboy after the matt fight smh...shows how much u know

                    This is a good boxing match. I would favor Khan vs anyone that doesn't have punching power.

                    The one thing I never liked about Alexander is that he starts to grunt even more and telegraphing his punches when he gets tired. It costs him the late rounds.

                      Beating an old bailey and Purdy makes you a champion now? lmao
