On January 29 at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich., 27-year-old WBO junior welterweight king, Tim Bradley (26-0, 11 knockouts), of Palm Springs, Calif., and, 23-year-old, southpaw, WBC titlist, Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KOs), of St. Louis, Mo., are headed for an HBO televised, clash that will go a long way toward determining which of them should be considered the No. 1 man in the division.
"When you come to a Tim Bradley fight, you always get fireworks. Don't miss it. You're going to see a new era be born. [Devon] just prepare for that ass-whooping that I'm going to put on you," Bradley told FanHouse."
Bradley believes the winner of his fight with Alexander should get a crack at either Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jr. If the winner can't get either, then a unification with WBA champion Amir Khan should be the next step. Khan would like to fight the winner of Alexander-Bradley in July.
"I feel that the winner of my fight should get a shot at PacMan or Mayweather. If that doesn't come about, then Amir Khan," Bradley said.
