I watched him fight for the first time last Saturday, and after hearing all this hype surrounding him, I wasnt all that impressed. Sure he's good, but nowhere near the way certain posters here were making him out to be. He throws a lot of wide wild looping punches. He sure as hell isnt ready for the likes of Pac or Floyd.
Anyone feel the same?
I know I came out and said he'd beat Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Berto and Mosley. So was it because of me? :rofl:
I actually think he would beat Mosley, Berto, and Clottey..not so sure about Cotto and Margarito tho..
the same Edner Cherry who was UD'd by Paulie Malignaggi, with one judge scoring the fight 10 rds to nil for Paulie?
come on now.
Maidana has been outboxed by fighters with less skill than Paulie. You don't want to go there.
What does this have to do with Bradley?
Bradley would lose to Alexander and i would have to agree with that. In my opinion Alexander is the more complete fighter.
He won a one sided clear decision. Outside of decapitating Abregu,what were you looking for?
I don't think he looked bad or anything like these other people are saying but come on Abregu was a pretty standard South American fighter who had beat a lot of less than steller compatition. Bradley looked the same as he always had, like a B+ fighter the end.
when you have been around this game awhile you learn how to pick out the real from the fake. Its just like dogs. You have to seperate the killers from the pack early, while there puppies or they'll kill everything in the pin. Alexander is a killer in the ring by birth. He has the gift and the curse. The gift being his natural atheletic abilty/ boxing talent. The curse being his pleasure and desire to cause pain and punish his oponants. He is a throwback fighter. Just look at the Berto vs Urango fight. Then look at Alexander vs Urango fight. See the diffrence. If you can not then your not ready to discuss this with me.

You mean like dudes who belts he toke and defended it against contenders.
Im done with the back and forth with you. Where th f^ck is the thread starter at. after making some bullsh1t statement he just dispersed.
Those are alphabet titles don't tell me you don't understand the diffrence between a title holder and a champion do you? Hes defended his titles but never earned the championship. Fuking fanboy you just wanna give it to him by default and in the same breath say that everyone afraid of him.
Jesus fuking christ!!!
so what if that is his first fight at ww, he was still expected to look better than that, and it is kind of funny you said that. Are you saying that his second fight at ww against "pacman" going to be better? lol or are you going to say ''it was his SECOND fight at welterweight, that's why''...

As far as me being a child duke im 28 years old so miss me with that bullsh1t. And no i didnt insist that they give it to bradley but he should be recognized as champ in that division.
Recognized as champ is giving it to him! God forbid he fight someone to earn that honor.
Funny how you conveniently left out junior witter and the fact that he and Holt were world champions. And Edner cherry was no scrub.
the same Edner Cherry who was UD'd by Paulie Malignaggi, with one judge scoring the fight 10 rds to nil for Paulie?
come on now.
Actually it was you who implied Bradley was afraid to fight the top fighters in the division. And that's ridiculous considering that he has fought more top fighters than the guys you're hyping.
Not at all never said he was afraid and i don't think he is. I think it's more about his Promoter being able to hype the kid without making any serious offers to fight the other guys. Maidana was a step in the right direction but until that fight happens I don't see Gary shaw really going after any of the other top 140 pounders and come on the whole calling out Pac thing is all about hype. They know there is almost no chance of landing that fight but they say it anyways for publicity purposes which is kinda gay. It's just funy when fan boys take it seriously.
Fuk Berto has way more claim to fighting Pac than Bradley for christ sake!
Funny how you conveniently left out junior witter and the fact that he and Holt were world champions. And Edner cherry was no scrub.
yeah Witter hadn't lost a fight in like 7 years going into that fight with Bradley and Bradley went to his Country and destroyed him
I am a bigger Alexander fan but I would be a ignorant fool to think that Bradley is the one that is overhyped in the 140 division
Is he going to defend it? If not should he be allowed to keep it if he dont plan on defending it?
Also like i thought you couldnt dispute nothing else but you seen what i wrote about pac and went crazy.
Duke if you dont know nothing about boxing just quit while you ahead.
LOL just becasue i don't agree with your shit bag opinions means I don't know nothing about boxing? Very good child will you be making yo mama kokes next?
And the ring has rules about the belt, they will eventually strip him if need be but that doesn't mean Bradley gets the belt by default.
Fuking fan boys always wanna just "give" their fighters belts.
LOL now we are gonna start calling other fighters afraid of him! I'm a little bit more realistic and don't think he or any of the 140 pounders are afraid of each other. I think it has more to do with promoters considering that Golden boy has 3/4 of the best 140 pounders locked up and Bradley is stuck with shit bag Gary Shaw who is an idiot in a half. You do realize that Gary Shaw is the same guy who started up the MMA league Elite XC and ran it into the ground right?

REALLY? If Khan wasn't afraid he would have jumped into that 140 tournament when HBO offered it. He suggested a Tournament after his fight with Paulie but when HBO called him about it and really tried to make it happen he turned it down
Yeah........ 15 months ago.
Already has another fight planned at welterweight.
Which means even IF, after Margarito.. he chose to go back to Jr WW.
It would be 2 years until he fought at that weight and defended that title.
How long is a fighter entitled to his belt, before the active fighters fighting there are?
It surely isn't 2 years, I'll you that.
And thats fine if he hasn't defended by a certin time yeah you can strip him but the statement was made that they never should of given him the title since he had no intention of defending it. But you still don't give Bradley the title either. He still needs to earn it one way or another and not just by default.
