    Really? The number one guy at 140, no doubt. But his charisma doesn't really scream out to me. The same goes for his style.

    Not really. He just seems like a regular guy. With that said, you don't find anyone that's entertaining anymore. The Mayorgas, Hameds, Hattons and Tysons, are long gone.

    I cant imagine anyone who disagrees with this statement. Theres something very appealing about bradley's personality, his confidence, assurance is great and talking ability is the best in the division because the rest are quite illiterate and thats what makes bradley stand out. Also not forgetting his heart and having the toughest road from everyone in the division and still remaining undefeated, willing to fight anyone and still putting 100% into every fight.
    Now thats what you call a true champion, we need more people like bradley in boxing.

    I agree with uncle Rico. His his lack of charisma that has stopped him getting the big fights so far. I mean true boxing fans know about the Bradley v Alexander fight but casual fight fans do not. Guys like Pacman and Mayweather wont fight him because he doesnt put butts on seats. To make alot of money you have to win over the casual fans. I think Bradley is a good fighter but lacks appeal..Amir Khan has passed him out

    He does come across very respectfull! He knows he has to fight Khan if he wins to get a big name and he is not doing it by calling Khan out say he is **** and he will beat him easy! seem like an ok guy!

    That being said i want alexander to win i feel khan would deal with his style alot better than bradley

    Im a big Bradley believer. I think hes the best 140 in the world.

    HOWEVER....certain things he NEEDS to do.

    1) Shave that shocking moustache OFF.
    2) Sack Gary Shaw and sign with a good promotor who can do a proper job with him.
    3) Perhaps talk a bit more ****.
    4) Perhaps go and train with Manny Steward.

    All these things done...THEN we have a BIG Star on our hands.

    I want Devon to win this. He seems like a very laid back person (perhaps too laid back?)

    Tim seems very determined & mentally strong.

    They both need to get rid of their moustaches. Is Devon's a tribute to Holyfield or something?

    I think Bradley edges it. Although i hope it goes the other way.

    Exactly...I simply cant understand it. Hes young..hes undefeated...hes a WBC/WBO belt holder and hes american. How can he not be a big name by now? Thats squarely down to Gary 'small time' Shaw who as one poster brilliantly put yesterday "couldnt promote and sell a night of passion with Jessica Alba".

    If he were British under Warren we would be raving about him.

    (or maybe not...look at Carl Froch...also down to having a crap promotor)

    agree with the mustache and maybe promoter but joel diaz is one of the best coaches in the business and has done great with bradley so far.
