If they were to fight who would you pick? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9uJHcvqkYI[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbHw45IZxl8[/ame]
For awhile there i was favoring Bradley, but the more i sit back and actually watch these two operate, the more even this becomes in my eyes. Could this fight make any more sense? lol... Both fighters at the very same exact point just about in their careers, both the #1 and #2 of their division, both undefeated, both great potential, and both very evenly matched against eachother. I love it.... hope we get this fight sooner rather then later.
Ive seen too many boxing matches happen too late or not at all due to that though, just personally i am not a fan of the waiting game. Theres simply too much that can go wrong when two fighters 'wait' until the time they think is right to fight. One could recieve a career ending style injury, one could move up in weight, one could suffer a freak loss, ones star might start shining much more then the others to the point where he doesnt want to take that risk anymore and instead wants other big big names. Too much BS to rob boxing of a great fight.... id rather have it after they both have one more fight. They fight, both move on, and if they continue to blossom and shine the rematch will be big down the road regardless. The other reason i dont like the waiting game is it holds up the division. Think about just how stacked the 140lb division is.... if everyone goes the waiting route it is the easiest and fastest way to stagnate a deep division. I understand what your saying though and i respect that.... but i simply would rather it be this year, let them fight one more fight both on the same card with a lot of gloss (backstories, buildup, ect) and then 3/4 months later they meet. Thats how i would have it...
I agree this year (next 12 months)... but they have to build up to it. I have a feeling that it would be a great fight.
The sooner they fight, the better. I can see an epic trilogy between these too that rivals Star Wars episode 4-6. :hey
I'm starting to think Alexander has the physical edge as the harder puncher, but Bradley's so good overall and he keeps getting better. I'd see Bradley taking a clear UD, maybe 115-113
