    Rather than fight Kell Brook...
     
  2. He's ducking Brook, he don't want none of the brookster

    His glass hearted refusal to carry on against Bradley shows a lack of a will to win. I'd be disappointed but not overly surprised. He'd lose anyway so he's just saving time

    Maybe a re-match with Bailey?

    That was very "interesting"

    That sucks.

    Alexander has a who's who of opponents on his resume:
    Timothy Bradley
    Lucas Matthysse
    Marcos Maidana
    Juan Urango - 140 lb IBF unification
    Junior Witter - vacant 140 lb WBC
    Andrey Kotelnik
    Randall Bailey - 147 lb IBF
    DeMarcus Corley

    He gets a lot of hatred on this site, some warranted, but pay the man his dues. That is elite competiton, all of which except for Corley have been since 2009 as well. And he's only 25 years old.

    Yes it was a pus move.

    Regardless, he lost to Bradley, but did win a couple rounds and was competitive in almost all of them, even if this was the most boring fight that carried heavy significance in recent memory.
     
  10. Yeah great resume

    I don't know have you seen Calzagehe Bhop. I'm a Calzaghe fan and I found it atrocious. Although it was 4 years ago so might be outside of your time frame

    Alexander is wank. He's lost 4 times and had to be gifted. The special one lays him out for good. No blurprint

    He'll vacate if he's being forced to travel to Sheffield to fight.

    While Sheffield will make the most money and as an Englishman I hope it's there so I can get tickets. I still think Alexander deserves home advantage (if you believe it exists) as the belt holder. Don't matter, St.Lois, Sheffield or the Moon. Brook gonna beat him
     
  15. St Louis is a shithole, it's worse than Sheffield if you can imagine that
