what a suprise....another biased fan from UK. Witter wasn't shot. 1 good performance? Urango. the alexander-bradley fight is bigger than the khan-maidana fight was. timmy and devon are number 1 and 2 at 140.
Not even close. After the Kotelnik "gift" decision, most rankings rank Bradley above Khan, and Khan above Alexander. The world takes notice when a man who people thought had a glass chin took on the hardest puncher in the division and knocked him down screaming in the first round, and won the fight without touching the canvas. Shouting out "Prescott Prescott Prescott Prescott !!!" won't change that fact.
Doesn't matter cause Bradley is going to beat Alexander's ass. Then he'll take on Khan if Khan wants that fight before JMM and vice-versa.
Dude, ya'll have established that you think Alexander is subpar because of his performance against Kotelnik...cool, point conceeded. Why do you act like Khan wasn't sparked in under a minute by Prescott, but that's ancient history I guess. In his last fight he's out on his feet, literally running from his opponent praying to simply finish the fight, before winning a close decision yet because of the relatively low standard many had of him and his "chin", it's somehow considered some kind of impressive victory? Don't get me wrong, I like Khan as a fighter and think he is extremely gifted, and I'm not trying to play the "glass jaw" card, but to say he was "impressive" versus Maidana is an overstatement. I don't view his win any better or worse than Alexander's in terms of being impressive. They both won close decisions and took a beating to get there...did they not?
The world took notice because their expectations were so low that him being out on his feet and running from his opponent, praying to survive, is considered a "moral victory". I give him credit for winning versus Maidana, I give him credit for being a great young fighter, but it seems somewhat hypocritical that you are willing to dismiss Alexander as somehow less than Khan because he had a shitty performance vs AK, yet ignore the shitty performances that Khan had versus Maidana and Prescott? I think they are both fine young fighters, and I don't necessarily view either of them negatively after their last fights, because they both gutted out wins and did what they needed to do to make it happen. Dismissing Alexander/Bradley/or Khan is a poor proposition they are all really good fighters and on any given day any one could beat the others.
wow, how can people defend this ****? Khan is seen as #1 by many at 140, and if Alexander beats Bradley (a big if) then Alexander v Khan would be a great fight and really give the #1 tag to someone in the 140 division. WTF at bringing someone up from 135 OR going to 147 where alexandar would be brutally KO'd by pac and emabarassed by mayweather. what the **** man, its just ****ing ridiculous. so angry at these ****ing idiots, especially his stupid as **** trainer that looks like he failed primary school
You don't make sense, if I was a biased uk fan I would rate a win over witter above a win over maidana. So are you really saying that was same witter that knocked out harris? Urango was catching him all throughout the night, was also winning rounds against him. It was a brilliant shot he caught juan with but it weren't a good performance. And who the hell said that khan-maidana was bigger than bradley-alexander? Tim and devon are number 1 and 3 at 140.
Khan is the guy who had minimal trouble v Kotelnik...can't say the same for Alexander. I genuinely want Bradley to win now.
Reppin' it goes back to My Statement that I STAND THE **** BY 100%. Black Fighters are Held to a Higher Standard!!!!! Alexander goes 12 tough rounds with Ketolnik and is considered a BUM....Yet Khan gets KTFO by a fighter they bought in just to lose and then is out on his feet and spent last part of the fight running from Maidana and looked awful. But He's is rated higher and considered more skillfull than Bradley and Alexander. Black Fighters have to look Sensational in every round of every fight without getting hit, knocked-down or in a close decision to get any credit by Fight Fans (ESPECIALLY THESE CASUAL FIGHT FANS).
Really like Bradley , hope he whips Alexander then we get a Khan v Bradley battle , that would be ace !
Witter was already on his way out when Bradley beat him, and losiong that took what he had left. He was shot to bits by the time Alexander got there. Bradley is the real deal , Alexander is smoke and mirrors ( so far ! )
that's BS. Bradley and Alexander are not fighting for the right to fight Khan, the winners of Khan-Maidana and Bradley-Alexander get the right to fight each other. No one is even saying that Khan is the big name among the 4 (although I think Khan presents the most money of the 4), and all these statements coming from team Alexander are just making them sound insecure and defensive.
