Alexander is "the great"
Alexander deserves waaay more credit then he gets. Not one person in all of boxing has had a harder 5 fight stretch of opponents. Most of the top guys at 140 and 147 have taken viscous beatings or at least clear losses. Alexanders close wins were not highway robberies like some claim. He was fortunate to have judges that scored favorably for his style. For instance, compubox showed that he clearly outworked Kotelnik. Expectations were high and a close win was not good enough after knocking out Urango.
The Bradley fight if not for the headbutts was a close fight that could have heated up. Don't take my word, but listen to the late great Emanuel Stewart say that this is a very close fight that's going back and forth like we expected. Check youtube, he said that right until the end.
I am sure that Alexander and his team would like to be a part of fights that are more entertaining, but the level of competition just simply has not allowed that every time. The Maidana fight was a fantastic fight because Maidana was on the attack and opened up. The Bailey fight stunk because of Bailey's record breaking low output combined with an off the chart ability to inflict damage with either hand.
Now here is a question.
Who has looked great against Bradley, Matthysse, or Bailey and won? It's rhetorical.
Brook will be outclassed by an athlete that has never been dominated as a pro and that is becoming increasingly hungry due to the lack of respect he's getting for his wins.
