These guys are both undefeated now so obviously one is going to have a loss by the end of the month. I know Bradley's ko percentage is very low, can he ever generate a huge buzz even if he wins his next 10 fights and is 36-0? Alexander has a higher ko percentage and less fights, but if he managed to get to 27-0 or somewhere around there, would he be able to generate huge buzz like Money or PacMan, or even Cotto and recently Martinez?
As long as they continue to fight other well known boxers and keep winning - then they'll create that buzz that you're talking about. Especially since they are in a very hot division - more wins equals more opportunities. But the fastest way to get the noticed by the public is KO's. Nothing gets people more excited than watching a fighter that KO's everyone.
Alexander was able to draw 10,000 fans in his hometown so he can definitely do big things, he just needs to keep fighting top fighters as he can already draw a decent crowd. While Bradley makes for good action fights, he isn't a draw, what he needs to do is win all the time, wins over Kahn and Alexander would go a long way to help him, a showdown with Berto would also be good for him, as he will need several high profile wins to become big.
Bradley has to take alot of the blame himself, he has a very low KO % and HBO had to beg him to get him to fight Alexander, who is a much bigger draw than he is.
Bradley is more exciting to watch than Alexander.. They both can make a name for themselves if they had a promotional genius like Bob Arum.
Bradley is a really good fighter. However, he's a guy I don't mind dvr'ing if I have something else going on that night. The fact that I can pretty much pencil in 12 full rounds keeps him on that level. Alexander has more star potential, but with an aging Don King behind him who knows how much help he'll get. A nice KO of Khan would go a long, long way.
