BoxingScene.com was advised by manager/trainer Kevin Cunningham that IBF/WBC junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander would have no problem moving up to the welterweight division to fight WBC champion Andre Berto. The Berto fight would only be considered if a deal fell through for a unification with WBO champion Timothy Bradley. HBO is pushing to stage a Bradley-Alexander unification on January 29. Alexander has a fight scheduled for August 7 against former champion Andrey Kotelnik.
"Devon would fight Berto. We would move to 147 to fight Andre Berto. But, we want to get Timothy Bradley first," Cunningham told BoxingScene.com.
Cunningham is still steaming over Bradley's recent challenge to WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao.
"What has Tim Bradley ever done to deserve a fight with Manny Pacquiao? What did he do? Beat [Carlos] Abregu? What has Abregu ever done? Name one thing that Abregu ever did. Devon and Bradley are the two best fighters at 140, but Bradley doesn't want to fight the other best fighter at 140. Did you see that [televised] piece on HBO with Bradley Sr.? He was on there saying 'I smell p*ssy, I smell p*ssy.' Well the p*ssy he smelled was sitting right next to him, his son," Cunningham said.
