devon calls thurman out

Ball is in Thurman's court. He can either stop whining about being avoided or just stfu. Do you honestly believe Thurman would turn this down? He's not scared of anybody. He'll fight Alexander too.

Calling BS. I hope I'm wrong. But given the choice of Ghost, Khan, or Thurman, no way in hell is going to fight Thurman. Ghost would be the easiest, especially style wise. No one wants a piece of Thurman, that's just the truth. If Alexander can't get any of the other names at GB, then maybe Thurman would have to do, but given a choice he would definitely choose Khan or Ghost.

No doubt Devon is not afraid of anybody, also has a excellent chin

I have no problem with Alexander vs Thurman. I wish Showtime would do a triple header to end the year in December. Khan vs Ghost, Swift vs Peterson & Thurman vs Alexander. Showtime owe us a card like this since they given us a crappy year of one sided beat downs this year.

I like Thurman and i would be rooting for him if the fight ever happen but Devon style would give him problems. Thurman can punch but i think he can't do what Porter did, he doesn't have the stamina to outwork Devon, who btw has a great chin. Don't know about that. I've yet to see Thurman gas out or get tired in anyway. Thurman actually has pretty good defense, especially with slip ins. I really don't know what Devon has to truly trouble Thurman. Sure, I give him the edge in speed but Thurman has decent hand speed too so he'll likely catch Devon. The next part after that is how well Devon would take it? After all, this will be against one of the hardest hitters in the division. One punch could make a big difference. I also notice Devon tends to lose it mentally. In the Bradley and Porter fights, you can tell he really seemed like he was in a panic and wanted to give up (in which he clearly did against Bradley). Against Soto Karass, despite winning, it almost seemed like Devon still started panicking because Soto Karass just kept on coming forward. If he's not mentally prepared for when he faces Thurman, he's going to lose it the moment he gets hit.

I don't like Alexander but he can make me a fan talking like this. Good sh*t dood, show these fools what being a real boxer is all about.

I'd favor Devon. Sure you are gonna look like a young George Foreman against the guys Thurman has been fighting. Alexander probably has the most proven chin from 140-147 and has fought arguably the most touted punchers without being stopped, and in most cases dropped. Wins over big punchers Maidana, Matthyssee, Bailey, Urango Devon has one of the best resumes between 140 and 147 and would be a huge step up for Thurman. Keith has decent fundamentals but he punches wide and his defense isn't impregnable. If Alexander came in with the right game plan he could possibly outclass Thurman who banks on blasting guys out. With Alexander's movement, speed, counters, and beard, I'd favor him over Thurman. Thurman is a puncher and aggressive but he isn't rough like Porter, Bradley, or even Karass, he needs a little space to land his shots and a fight at mid range favors Alexander.

He wants that Interim belt to get to Floyd

I know Alexander will fight anyone. However, the most protected fighter in and around the welterweight division, Keith Thurman, will fight another bum that no one has ever heard of in his next fight just as Guerrero and Garcia did in their last fights. How is he protected? Devon is the only top 10 guy at 147 who has said he's willing to fight Thurman. Maidana pulled out of a fight with Thurman, Porter's dad said he doesn't want it yet, Guerrero has made numerous excuses, Pauli didn't want it. So how exactly is he protected you :dunce:? Guys are publicly saying they don't want to fight him...

I***39;ll fight anybody it don***39;t matter. All these guys keep fighting bum after bum. I***39;ll fight Thurman Khan Guerrero it doesn***39;t matter.— Devon Alexander (@TheRealDevonA) agosto 12, 2014 and he goes hard on you know who... All these wannabes want to fight bums and get paid too dollar for it. They want to fight bums and then hopefully get to ppv— Devon Alexander (@TheRealDevonA) agosto 12, 2014 I know Alexander will fight anyone.

He young doe

Props to Devon, mans got if not the best one of the best chins at 147 and I think with that confidence he can go in there willing to brawl with Thurman who as of yet when he gets clocked panics for dear life and doesn't know what to do. I dunno man, he took a pretty heavy hit from Karass and came back and hurt him in the same round. A bit of bravado but he didnt seem panicked. Plus when he was getting pressed by Diaz with lots of heavy punches he was fighting really well with counters moving backwards. These obviously aren't elite fighters though so I really can't wait to see what the top fighters bring out of him.

I like Thurman and i would be rooting for him if the fight ever happen but Devon style would give him problems. Thurman can punch but i think he can't do what Porter did, he doesn't have the stamina to outwork Devon, who btw has a great chin.

alexander fights all the big punchers ....just look at his resume....its packed with big hitters credit to him

That's nice to see, I don't think Devon has ever ducked anyone as far as I can remember anyway. Hope team Alexander "Kevin Cunningham" doesn't shut him down doe for speaking out about everyone including thurman.

Haymon will manage to find TBAs for both, mark my word. And Espinoza will proudly announce Thurman and Alexander's return in November or something against TBAs.

I was saying this before they should have a double feature - Khan vs Guerrero and Thurman vs Alexanders. Winners fight. Makes perfect sense. Therefore it won't happen.

There's no reason this can't be next for both. Thurman didn't get much ring time against Diaz and Alexander looked a tad slower, at least to me, against JSK. I'm picking Alexander, as much as I dislike his style. He's going to move and smother Thurman frequently. Like Dan said, I don't think it would be a great action fight. It would definitely help prove Thurman's worth. It's time to face a legit WW in his prime or near it.

C'mon man...I don't even like Devon but am I the only one who is noticing his willingness to fight ANYBODY?!?...Devon is slowly changing the image I have of him....keep that ish up Devon....ain't too many built like that in this soft era of the sport....props!! Good fight....I hope Uncle Al can make this happen Yeah man i'm with you. I brought this up in a thread not too long ago, Devon seems to be the only Hamon fighter that will speak up and is willing to fight anybody, not just the garbage names Haymon may present to him. Props to this young kid man, he's not the best out there but he's willing to fight anyone.
