    He would have to fight again after Alexander, maybe the Berto Ortiz winner? if that happened he would have earned it.

    There should be an option for "little chance." That's my pick; beating Alexander isn't enough, he'd need one or likely two more very solid wins to stand out.

    If he destroys Alexander like Pacquiao did Cotto, why not?

    You're right, I guess 'decent' would be the 'little' chance option.

    He has the skills to beat Alexander. After that, Goldenboy would pick a good opponent who is technically limited, and Malignaggi would have 3 good wins in the same year.

    If he gets a clear cut win over Devon and beat someone good after that, why not ?
    Paulie would be the underdog against Devon and upsetting the odds twice would be a heck of a thing.
    Imagine if he stops Devon on cuts as well :rofl

    What for?

    beating an obscure Ulkrainian who has beaten nobody of note and then if he beats a guy who has lost 3 of his last 4 fights?

    Its a no for me
