    Say what you want about devon, I'm certainly not a fan of his style, but his résumé is hard to beat out of the ww and lww divisions. Guy Just got whooped by porter, then takes on a big puncher in Karass, and now is looking for Thurman.

    Sounds to me like Alexander is suddenly begging for Khan's attention after Khan named Guerrero as a potential opponent LOL.

    nobody wants to watch Alexander fight xD unless if it was against Thurman...unfortunately the matchmaker fcked up and gave Thurman an easy fight in Roberto Garcia (all dictated by Al Haymon obviously -.-)

    he definitely doesnt seem to duck anyone. Khan messed up by not choosing to fight him the first time, now that hes out of options hes come running back for that fight

    I could actually see Devon winning ,Thurman not a pressure fighter. This fight would be more like the Marco fight a shut out.

    :think Would be a good one and a step up for Thurman. I think Thurman is too good to get dominated by anyone in the division at this point. This would be a close one but i think THurman takes it with a surge in the later rounds.
    Alexander mostly relies on his athletic abilities and a few really crafty tricks but i believe that Thurman has matured enough in the ring as a boxer to take this.


    Must suck to be Alexander. His paydays are half of what they used to be at light-welter.

    Respect to Alexander, he seems willing to fight anyone. Alexander would be a decent test for Thurman.

    yeah id say alexander is desperate for a bit of money, i think he could beat thurman would love to see him fight thurman and khan gurrero on the same card, fair play to him for calling out these guys though

    :think He shouldn’t be desperate. Devon has made millions and i am excluding the manager, trainer and et cetera fees.
    But this is boxing so... :conf

    I'd like to see this fight happen. I see no reason why it shouldn't.

    Decent fight. I'd favor Devon over Keith.

    Lets see if he brakes Maidana's fight record of 127 love hugs.
