Bradley is overrated. Devon Alexander is the truth

    I'd like to see Bradley ice Urango the way Alexander did. Doubt he could do it.

    As I said, Hopkins couldn't ICE Taylor. Pavlik did. But what happened when Pavlik and Hopkins met?

    Floyd doesn't ICE people either, but does that mean he's not arguably the most tallented fighter in the game?

    Alexander got skills, speed AND power. Pavlik has power and underrated skills but not that much speed. So it's kind of different.

    That's what people were sayin about Cordington before he got in the ring with Allen Green.

    Thing is, maybe Alexander is the real deal, but he hasn't fought close to the level of opposition that Bradley has.

    Bradley has not only stepped up the plate, but he's proven that he's the best 140 lb fighter in the division.

    Alexander beat Urango. That's the difference.

    Since catching Urango with a vicious uppercut from in the pocket.

    This is where being a good judge of talent comes into play. Alexanders demo of Urango told me more about Alexander then any of Bradley's wins told me about BRadley.

    He wasn't fighting from the pocket when that happened. He was on the outside, Urango lunged in with his head down, and he got caught with a counter uppercut. Alexander is not an in fighter. He likes to fight from the outside or at midrange. Now Tim Bradley can fight from the pocket.

    Urango is slow, his punches are wide, he has no right hand, and no defense. He's beaten a bunch of guys who stood right in front of him. He was outboxed by Ricky Hatton for crying out loud. Berto easily outboxed him as well. That fight proved to me that Alexander is not a fraud. A guy with at least good boxing skills should beat Urango any day of the week.

    Both Hatton and Berto fought scared against Urango with too many holdings and Berto with his running. Alexander ko Urango without holding alot and without running.

    Did I ever say he didn't? I simply described what happened in order to point out that Alexander does not like to fight on the inside.

    They fought smart against Urango and outboxed him easily. What good boxer has Urango ever beat? It was a stylistic mismatch that favored Alexander. Unless Alexander had a glass jaw or was a fraud, there's no way he should've lost that fight. It was a good win, but he did what he was supposed to do. Urango is a pretty basic fighter.

    They both beat him in a boring way in which is nothing to brag about. If Berto is a future star then he shouldn't have fought scared Vs Urango.
