    It's amazing how he hasn't gone down considering he's faced Maidana, Urango, Randall Bailey and of course Lucas Matthysse.

    Thinking about it, his real weakness is when he's faced with good boxers that aren't heavy hitters - when he can't figure a fighter out his lack of power can show.

    I don't expect him to knock Purdy out. But easily easily outpoint him 120-108, and then go on to face Danny Garcia. I think he deserves an easy night after who he faced prior to tonight.

    I think Lucas knocked him down, wasn't a heavy KD though. he hugged maidana all night but still won every round so fair play. Bailey fight was the worst title fight I've watched last year.

    Never been down in sparring before either! Devons the truth! Can't blame Kell Duck, would beat Floyd the same way Cory would have!

    he went down against Matthysse. Wasnt hurt though. Your right he does appear to have a
    very sturdy chin.

    More than a sturdy Chin Solid boxer. He didn't go down against big punchers because his head is always moving, even coming in you see him bobbing and weaving before throwing in a straight right

    Questioning a guys heart when he's been in with the best and toughest punchers in his weight class is a bit unfair.
    Haters gonna hate.:|

    Been saying this for a minute. Pure iron. People don't give him enough credit. He basicly went toe to toe with matthysse and ate some hard shots from Bailey and never was hurt.

    Alexander's chin is legit, people seem to think him qutting against Bradley has something to do with his chin, he was never hurt in that fight

    His chin is very good and Lucas fight is a nice example he showed great hearth in the last rounds of that fight. That said I can't recall Baily hitting him clean even once.

    Bradley hit with a powerful headbutt. Alexander was saying his eyes were burning.

    Pretty skilled fighter with an iron chin, but boring as hell to watch.
