    I am an Alexander fan but he doesnt deserve to win this fight.
    * Technically he lost to kotelnik and shouldnt have a perfect record.
    * His ko over Urango was impressive but he didnt look too convincing in that fight either. Urango had a higher % with punched landed.
    * Both fighters have heart and have come down a tough road but Bradley's story is much more gripping and he has come through a harder road and is a better asset for boxing.

    Timothy Bradley

    *Fought and beat vasquez
    *Fought Witter and beat him in the UK.
    *Beat Kendal holt after being knocked down twice
    *Fought undefeated lamont peterson and schooled him, when most people thought he would lose.
    *Fought undefeated Abregu and beat him also.
    *Now going to fight undefeated Devon Alexander and possibly the dangerous Amir Khan after.

    Always is taking risky fights unlike other boxers out there, and imo has the best physique of any boxer out there, always comes in 100% ripped and committed

    Bradley needs to win this fight for boxing and if he loses it would be a sad day

    I agree but its only because Alexander already made it clear he will be avoiding khan, I want that fight so therefore bradley must win. I think they are equally talented though.
    Bradley seems to have a better idea of what is expected of him and how he is supposed to get to the top.
    If he is able to beat alexander and khan I will definitely want to see him vs pacquiao.

    I don't have an opinion of my own, because I completely agree with this post.

    How can someone not deserve to win a fight based on past fights?

    This is a first for me - that is a thread that puts down a fighter for having the temerity to try and win his up and coming fight!!!

    Let me just say that both fighters are extremely talented and I hope that both are able to show this in their efforts to prevail this coming saturday; I'd hate to see posts professing how, based on the possibility of a shut-out or beat down, that either guy was hyped or undeserving.

    Now what did Alexander do to deserve these comments? Ummm... he had a bad night (loss in some peoples' views) against Kotelnik. I think he's been knocked down a couple of times in past fights from what I've read. How does any of the afforementioned equate to him not deserving to win or if he should happen to win against Bradley this being bad for boxing? You need to explain this to every person here 'cause what you said so far doesn't make any sense.

    Now to the issue of him saying he doesn't want to fight Khan who he doesn't view as being anything special. We all know Khan put on a boxing clinic against their common opponent Kotelnik. All the man has done is express his opinion.

    "Money" will have the loudest say as to whether Khan and Alexander sign to fight anytime soon, and before that can happen Alexander will first need to overcome Bradley.

    May the best man win - imo that will be Alexander.

    I think you're right, but he has been knocked down as an amateur.

    I agree with many of the thread starter's points.

    He's much less personable and charismatic than Bradley
    He should have a loss to Kotelnik
    And he's already stated he doesn't need to fight Khan

    Three strikes and you're out.

    If he's the better man on the night, then he deserves it. People have been hating too much on him recently.
