It would be BAD for boxing IF Devon Alexander were to WIN

I will say that I agree Alexander-Kotelnik was an out and out robbery, i.e. there is no way any reasonable judge with knowledge of boxing scoring could have possibly seen that fight in Alexander's favor. That said, he did not "technically lose" the fight. Technically, he won.

Aside from that, I don't think any outcome aside from career-shortening injury to either fighter could be bad for boxing. Fights like this are great for boxing, and whoever wins looks to have a bright future, no matter who it is. The loser also stands to gain from this fight as long as he has a respectable showing, as I'd expect this will be far and away the most anticipated and watched fight for both guys involved.

 

Don't forget he was about to take Campbell out before he quit.

I really want to see Bradley fight Pacman this fall. It would be close to a mega fight because any Pacman fight sells around 1 million PPV but this fight would be completely legit to the hard core boxing fans, not like Mosley/Pacman.

 

I don't see that as relevant. He hasn't fought anybody in Bradley's league, where as Bradley has challenged himself on several occasions and came out victorious. I am very confident of a comfortable decision going in Bradley's favour, purely because he doesn't have the KO punch is the reason it won't finish inside the distance.

 

the poll kiinda puts u on the spot cuz i dont wanna say da alexander would clear da devision and dis fight i not bad for boxing

 

first time for everything.

 

Hell no Alexander is a draw in his hometown and can do atleast 12,000 while Bradley isn't a draw in his hometown. I just don't see how anyone can say it would be bad for boxing if Alexander wins.

 

Damn this poll is ****ed up. If Devon beats Tim then clearly he has a chance to whip ass up and down the division. Wtf is wrong with you people?

 

Damn right. This people are ****ing insane. Its never enough for boxing fans.

 

I really like Alexander, he did get beaten up by Kotelnik! I think he edges out Bradley if his jab is upto scratch.... But Khan will HURT Devon big time!

Bradley seems like one of the coolest dudes in the game though, so if he wins its a win win situation cos that dude will fight anyone anywhere anytime.... So if he wins it makes it better for boxing imo!

 

i don't get **** like this at all...

you know as much as i try to convince the importance of euro fighters to get over here and find out how good they are, how the **** is bradley worthy of a pac fight???

 

Because he's the best 140 lb fighter in the world, in undefeated and has an exciting style that would mesh well with Pacman. And he also fights at Pacman's best natural weight. Why not? Besides Mayweather, what other fight would make more sense? Berto? Yes. But other than that, who?
