I once read that we have more historical evidence for the existence of Jesus than Alexander the Great. Is this accurate?

I unfortunately can't remember where I read this, but I was reading something about people who say there's not enough evidence to conclusively prove Jesus of Nazareth existed. The article said that if someone takes that attitude, they'd also have to agree Alexander the Great never existed as we have less proof for him. Is this at all accurate?
