You call the outshining of P4P-er Ricky Hatton and welterweight Andre Berto "hardly an impressive performance", because Urango hit Alexander with a couple of shots? :think Then how would you describe Bradley's performance in his unification vs. Holt, getting dropped twice and winning a close decision? But back to topic: I'd agree that Bradley is the better boxer skills vs. skill, though Alexander just turned 23, he's 20-0 and improving rapidly. Now who'll have a better career or who'd win between the two is an entirely different question. Bradley's chin is not the best out there and is relatively small in the division, other than that, he's awesome. Alexander might not be as fast and busy, but he's physically stronger, packs a KO punch and rumored to have a very good jaw. IMO he'll have the better career.
Urango hit Alexander a hell of a lot more than "a couple". Get some ****ing glasses and take some objectivity pills.
Pretty much. Yep. lmao... Everything Bradley has done so far, JUST THAT - Alexander won't accomplish as much in his entire career. Let's you and I remember this.
Right now I'm sticking with Bradley. I would LOVE to see this fight in 2011, after the two of them have beaten a few bigger names each (Khan, Valero, Malignaggi, Ortiz, Maidana, etc)
Pick em fight. Bradley would have the edge on the inside but Alexander would have it on the outside. I see Alexander causing some of the same problems that Holt caused Bradley and eventually dropping him. As of now I'd give the slight edge to Alexander.
Okay, let's see... Bradley beat Witter for a belt, then unified vs. another champion. Alexander beat Witter for a belt, then unified vs. another champion. Other than Devon not getting knocked down twice, instead he KO'd the other champ, it looks like the same career to me, though Alexander might have to have a NC with an old quitter like Campbell and beat an unproven contender like Peterson to convince the naysayers. I love Bradley, and I really like Alexander, and I stated that IMO Bradley is the better boxer of the two, also more accomplished ATM, since Devon only recently became a champ. Laugh if you want when I say Alexander will do better regardless, just don't come up with bull**** like "he'll never achieve as much as Tim", if he's almost achieved as much 4 years younger and half a dozen fights earlier.
Im a big Bradley fan so a bit biased , Bradley all the way for me. That was some f++kin uppercut tho !!
Im a Devon Alexander beleaver I don't really see anything I can really fault him on right now, he has speed good chin just a great all aruond boxer who is the real deal. :yep
Bradley is the better fighter. Urango was a good win for Alexander, but Urango is not that good.....Ben Rabah outboxed him a couple years ago....
Bradley has the better resume. Alexander has more KO power and he's a southpaw. I can't picture Bradley knocking out Urango. Like I've always said, Urango is a fundamentally flawed fighter and has the worst left hand I've ever seen delivered from a southpaw stance but cracking that chin is not easy yet Alexander did it. Alexander has a great two-fisted attack. His straight left is good and his right jab/right uppercut is a thing of beauty. In Alexander-Bradley I'd actually bet on a draw or on Alexander squeaking out a decision, although an Alexander KO is not unthinkable.
