I just have the personal belief Alexander would end up getting the best of ghengis mentally and end up making him fight on Alexander’s terms and Alexander would win. Alexander in my opinion (and that’s all it is) is the better tactical and strategic general and would take the day because of it
I agree with the second half of this statement. Alexander was the better tactical general.
But I disagree with the first half. Genghis Khan would never fight Alexander on Alexander's terms. Genghis Khan always fought on his own terms. He was much more strategic than Alexander from an empire-building perspective.

Ghengis has the mobility. Mobility is what wins. Mobility gives you the power to choose the location.
If Alexander sets up where ghengis doesn’t want him? He simply pulls back and rides around him to strike something in the rear or another asset that FORCES Alexander’s hand to defend said asset.
Basically the ONLY way I see Alexander winning is if he locks himself in a mountain pass and quite simply refuses to move. He just sits there and watches as the mongols have their way with his empire and lands.
The second he comes down and gives chase or tries engage in the open (because ghengis ain’t gonna ride to meet him in such a place) he’s done.
