    This guy dominated Marcos Maidana few years ago (and won every round) and now he can't beat past prime versions of Ortiz and Berto.

    If you aren't able to beat 2nd tiers you should retire or accept you're no more than a gatekeeper and will lose more and more.

    He should've stopped Ortiz to be fair (and would've few years ago).

    Nah, a few years ago he was losing to Martinez. But I agree that the Alexander that beat Urango would have destroyed that Ortiz. Kinda weird how he dropped off so much. He's only 31.

    Being a drug addict for years has not helped.

    He's the classic "peaked too soon."

    When he first burst on the scene at world level I really thought he was going places.

    I was over tge moon when he rid us of Witter, thought he lost to Kotelnik, I wrongly picked him to beat Bradley and then he arguably lost to Matthysse only to put on a clinic over Maidana.

    What is he now 1 win in his last 5 or something?
