    Mandated by WBC.Not a bad idea. I mean the winner of these two getting a shot at the winner of hatton/pac are slim to none so an Alexander fight is decent..

    Alexander isn't on their level imo.. He's a tuneup..

    Alexander/Ortiz is more like it..

    Thoughts?

    Well I don't see what makes Devon Alexander qualified? I like Alexander but he's only had 17 fights, his toughest opponent is Chop Chop Corley and in all actuality he MAY be a step backwards for Kendall Holt.

    Still I guess if you win a great fight like this, You're entitled to a small breather.

    This makes Witter's promoter look worse than I actually fought he was. Usually when champion loses his belt he can make him self No.1 contender with two or less fights. I never heard of this guy but beating a faded/shot ex champ doesn't cut it with me.

    the same thing that Linares did to win the vacant WBA title,the same thing Ruiz does to constantly get title shots, he has a promoter that is used to deal with crooks.

    I HATE to defend Ruiz but he gets title shots because he takes little pay, needs little to no time to be prepared and isn't scared to travel.

    And I fail to see how Alexander ( a guy with little pop and decent ability overall) could **** up Holt. I think it'd look something like a souped up version of Holt/Hopkins.
