Ghenghiz Khan leads his mongol army and Alexander the great his Greek/Macedonian army.
 
I think Ghenghiz army was much more advanced than Alexander's army. Alexander is perhaps the better military leader. His army stands no chance however. The highly mobile mongol soldiers will surround Alexander's army and the superior bows will crush the Greeks. Alexander's army gets rooted and Alexander will be captured.

Depends entirely whether you ask the question on the Steppes forum or the Ancient Mediteranean Forum.

Lol True.
The closest thing is Alexanders invasion of Transoxiania.His phlanx was destroyed by the horse archers or Sythia.
But then Alexander used a bait to catch the horse archers with his heavy cavalry.
But i dont think mongols would fall for that one with good leadership.

Alexander would be no match for Genghis Khans army

It might work on Rommel's when they were out of fuel.
 
Never mind about this. Did Alex have slingshooters? I think they were somewhere around and the mongol riders would have had a quite nasty  time. 
The rocks would probably not have killed them. But what fun it would be to watch the movie: "I'm throwing my arrows while I'm having a concussion."
 
*Just my experience: with a classical slingshot you can throw a 200-400 g rock at about 200 m. The vfar you throw it the less acccurate you are.  My personal record was 287m with a rock weighting 240 g. I managed  a 320m launch with a slingshot that was rather clumsy (1 m long lines).
** At less than 100 m the classical slingshot is point blank accurate. You can even throw  stones (~500 g rocks) with it at that range.

Let the mongol army travel back in time by a thousand years to the time of Alexander & see the effect. The Mongols will not be wiped out in the battle. They will be wiped out from the face of the earth.

Or for that matter let the greek army of a thousand years later meet the mongol army of a thousand years later & see the effect, Mongolians will still be wiped out.

What one has to remember is that the Greeks were a civilization, while the Mongols hordes were a passing phase in History. Many such people come & go, but civilizations remain.

The phenomenon called Changez Khan was an abnormality for the  Mongols, the Mongols today are still more or less same after Changez Khan as they were before. He did not add any value to anything.

On the contrary the greeks were a people who defined the civilization of their time & place. To compare two armies, they have to be in the same time frame at least.

It seems you are not aware of the way Chingis Khan and the Mongols altered the world a few centuries ago and Civilizations too come and go.

I know that, but apart from chaniging the poltical equations, what else did they do ? dod they bring any value addition to the cultures or the civilizations. They were not even able to destroy the civilizations as they themselves got absorbed into them.

They just killed a large number of people before becoming a part of the same people themselves.

This question is stupid. Why not have a topic with the underlying question "Who would win, Modern day Highland Regiments or the old Anglo-Saxon warriors?" or "Who would win, Stormtroopers or Roman legions?" Alexander would not stand a chance, the armor of his time period could not stand against an arrow being shot by a compound bow of Khan's time. Khan would easily wipe out Alexander, no contest.
