    Rematch with Bradley so Bradley won't leave any doubt he's the better man.

    Surely now is the time for Alexander-Judah.

    Devon needs an easier fight, Judah is a big name with history in St Louis. Makes sense.

    This fight makes sense especially if Judah beats Mabuza.

    Hmm, steal all his money, issue a few threats maybe kick him to death for not repaying a loan at a very uncompetitive interest rate.

    Would Judah have a belt then? If so, that is the perfect option for Devon.

    The IBF title so it is a good option for Alexander especially if Judah beats Mabuza.

    At least Ortiz came to fight initially and got a beating before he quit :-(

    He just had 2 brutal performances in terms of his big money potential. A let down in his hometown where many thought he lost. I personally thought he did win but it was not a great showing.

    He is 0-2 in the most important areas Power & Heart to get mainstream fans interested.

    Judah-Alexander for the IBF felt in St Louis is the obvious fight (if Judah gets past Mabuza, which is no guarantee)

    If your Don King, your main priority should be to put him in an entertaining fight. This is a business & the last thing you need is for your fighter to gain a reputation as a boring fighter. I think Maidana would be ideal.

    Devon is just a boring fighter. Against Urango, we had to suffer through that crap until he finally caught him. The Kotelnik fight was only interesting because HBO's guy was losing. Bradley's fights are usually entertaining & Devon made it boring. I caught on to how boring he is a few fights ago, but Don doesn't need to general public to catch on. Maidana is the perfect opponent
