    Why would I be mad Alexander beat Witter, when I wanted Alexander to win? Don't assume anything because you'll probably be wrong.

    I'm not anti-American either. I just know that American fans misread talent, leading to hypejobs like Zab Judah.

    It's ok, though. We will see who the real talent at 140lbs is and it won't be Alexander. If Khan fights him, Alexander gets schooled and I'm not even a Khan fan. If he fights Bradley, he'll get beaten up.

    tell me about his weaknesses.

    What i see is a kid with a real boxing IQ, controls fights with his jab and footwork, has a variety of punches in his arsenal coming at you from different angles, potentially explosive power, and a kid who continues to improve.

    You better get used to him, love him or not. He's going to be at the top of the food chain for a long time.

    I dont think he is overrated but some are jumping the gun a little bit cause of the Urango KO. The KO was legit. No hail mary punch at all. He was landing that uppercut at will. But like I said, the KO got people in a high.

    Lets see how Timmy handles Maidana. Maidana is clearly a better fighter then Urango.

    Some are saying that Devon is the man at 140. Some view Bradley as the man at 140. Timmy has a slight edge over Devon in resume. But that Urango KO was very impressive. Maidana is a better fighter then Urango so I would like to see how Bradley handles him. If he shines then the edge goes back to Timmy as whos better. But if he loses (which I dont see) or perfomance poorly then Devon would have a great case as being the best at 140.

    I don't mind Alexander but i would'nt say i'm a fan. Tim Bradley is the man at 140lbs, no question's about it. But i'd say Bradley has the beating of Ortiz, Khan, Campbell, etc. The Urango knockout was a good one in my opinion, but people have jumped on the bangwagon since that. Just imagine what he'd of done to Khan with that uppercut

    I think he beats Bradley. I think he knocks him out.

    Yeah, and Berto didn't knock Urango out the way Alexander did, neither. Alexander is the second best 140 pounder in the world after Paulie Malignaggi.

    Alexander is doing really well for a 23yr old, he holds two 140 belts.

    I hope GBP let Khan also a 23yr old young fighter fight him soon, as I feel Khan would beat him, but would be a great fight to watch.
