    look at pimp c trying hard to make alexanders competition look good :lol:

    he did the same thing when mayweather talked about fighting cintron, he made cintron out to be a beast and somehow alfredo angulo was a really good fighter! :lol!

    Bradley will get his ass beat. N!gga went rounds with Holt. Alexander pops his bubble dome.

    It seems like every time some boxer has a good win, there is someone on here trying to discredit their win.

    Come on man. Let's be real though.

    Why will Bradley get his ass beat? His competition has been far fiercer than Alexander's at this point.

    He took Peterson's 0 in hard fought but dominant fashion, Made Holt look like he wanted to quit, bein a non puncher still managed to knock down Witter when Witter was still somebody, made Campbell quit, and he's about to fight Maidana.

    The guy has proved that he can deliver the goods against stiff competition. He's proven his versatility by showing he can fight aggressive and backwards and do both flawlessly. He's shown heart after getting knocked down by Holt, and still sticking with his game plan.

    The only thing the guys lacks is punching power and I suppose you could say size, but he has some of the best skills in boxing and in my opinion is a PFP fighter.

    Alexander hasn't fought near the opposition that Bradley has, and yes he's tallented, but he hasn't shown that he has Bradley's versatility, he's relatively easy to hit in comparison, and like I said the jury is still out.

    He's not a fraud, but whether or not he's the best in the division is still a BIG question mark.

    To be honest, styles make fights, and given Alexander's lack of at least perceived versatility in comparison to Bradley's, I have my doubts that he would win against Peterson who is a very game fighter, and extremelly athletic.

    To be honest, I think Peterson could control the fight from the outside, and I'm not sure if Alexander could make the necessary adaptations to beat Peterson, who I doubt he can knock out.

    I never made Cintron out to be anything. The guy isn't great but he's no bum either.

    This is a stupid thread. I've not seen one post saying devon was the best at 140 or that he was p4p top 10 yet. But this imbecile jack is begging for
    attention to make this post by saying the kid has done little to nothing. Fighters with way more fights haven't done what this kid has done. 2 legit
    ABC titles, and a KO over a massively big jr welter who got up from a monster randall bailey right hand, but didn't see the bell against alexander. Also, some idiot poster called devon a fukking prospect. Newsflash ******.
    Once you have even 1 world title you've graduated from prospect to c------n. You fill in the blanks if you can.

    Did you see Alexander "no mas" Witter? So how can you question is versatility. He has basically shown everything. KO power. Boxing. Fighting in range ect.

    Bradley's comp is only slightly better then Alexanders btw. Its not so far ahead that you can just say Bradley is the better fighter. Because if we disregard boxing skill which is up in the air, physically atleast Alexander is the better fighter.

    You're nailing it. This isn't or shouldn't be a resume debate but fools want to get it twisted. As a pure boxer, Alexander has about everything you'd want and he is only now getting the chance to put it on display on the world stage. But these skills have been apparent for some time.
