    I'm getting tired of the over used word "hype Job". Please EB fans name one fighter who didn't have a bad win in his early career? I'm waiting.......


    It's obvious Alexander was more worried about Bradley then his current fight, and over looked his opponent. Hype job, you gotta look at how he won he last couple of fights, yes he has a few things to work on, and he may not be better than Bradley as I perviously thought only cause I didn't like his movement in this fight, but you cant just run around calling him a hype job.

    before you fake as boxing fans knew who dirrell was he had a bad win against curtis stevans, Ward had his bad wins, it's just what it is, you win, learn from it, and move on.


    On yea by the way all that he lost crap, get the **** outta here, it was close but all these robbery **** you guys talk about is crazy another over used EB word. Ya acting like it was Roy Jones in the Olympics or some ****.

    Build them up just to tear them back down.

    Alexander will be fine. He and Bradley is still a great fight.

    When on the pre-fight commentary, HBO talks about him as the future P4P #1 and the guy to take over for Mayweather and Pac. That's overrating the hell out of him for the sake of marketing.

    It's not the fight itself that made Alexander overrated; it's the combination of the fight directly after hearing hype like that. That's what makes him overrated. The hype machine rolling for this kid was and still is unreal- going by media reports, you'd have a hard time even knowing he had a bad fight last night.

    It's all Floyd's fault he has ruined boxing by being undefeated and making it look easy all the time. Floyd has spoiled these boxing fans with Greatness!!!

    He fought Bradley, and from that showin alone, I think he would handle Alexander.

    alex is talented but i'm not completed sold yet. Urango was just a decent win and kotelink is his toughest challenge to date...so i'll wait before i judge.

    Devon just got schooled by a guy Amir Khan beat easily and a guy that Maidana arguably beat. Devon has been running his mouth to Bradley and others for months about how he's the best in the div. Well, all that got put to rest last night. If Devon is still the best in the div. then I guess Kotelnik is P4P #1.
