Far more proven for sure.

Bradley completely outboxed Witter and was barely tagged. Not to mention the fact that Witter hadn't been beat since Zab Judah several years ago, and was considered the top guy aside from Hatton at 140.

In fact, many favored him over Hatton.

Witter could not figure out Bradley at all and the fact that he got a split decision was ridiculous, and if it wasn't for the viscious knock down, and it was viscious, Bradley would have been robbed.

On the other hand, Alexander made Witter quit, who claimed his elbow hurt, yet looked very hittable and was in a more competitive fight from a boxing perspective.

So, why are people favoring Alexander over Bradley when he's not as slick, not as versatile as he's basically a mid range fighter, and seems to only have size and power over Bradley who is a more complete fighter.

Not to mention the fact that Bradley has proved it against fighters like Cherry, Witter who he looked better against, Holt, Campbell, and Peterson.

To be honest, I think Peterson would have a very good chance to beat Alexander, as he looks like he has a warrior mentality in the sense that while Bradley was dominanting on the cards, every round was very close, and he fought hard until the final bell, showing amazing athleticism and versatility.

In fact, Alexander who is a mid range fighter would have big problems getting inside on Peterson, which is something Alexander has not shown that he can do, while Bradley has shown the ability to fight both on the outside and inside.

So, again, why is Alexander rated higher than Bradley at this point?

Instead of fighting Kotelneck or whatever his name is, Alexander should fight Peterson if he wants to make a name for himself in the division.

But he wont because he will lose this fight.

Terrible post, why would you use Witter as an example, when Alexander whooped him much better than Bradley?

I was at the Witter v Bradley fight and it was a close contest although the right man received the decision

He was not cause he's not a true junior welterweight while Devon is.

How he's more proven if in that time he never fought at junior welterweight before?

Alexander could get inside easily on Peterson for this one reason... Peterson is more comfortable there than he is on the outside...

Why Alexander is rated higher than Bradley by some...

umm.. took a step sooner in his career than Bradley did... Took less time to win a world title than Bradley did.... He gives you the results that Bradley doesn't... Knockouts, stoppages...

Against Urango, who's been in with Hatton, Berto, Bailey, he doesn't just show that he had the power to hurt Urango, he also showed that he has the ability to finish off his opponent, no matter how dangerous they are.. Bradley hasn't shown that yet.. He looked impressive against Peterson, but never showed that he could finish the job..
