    Anyways, you are probably right on that one. A gradual weight gain to set up a journey to Welterweight in the coming years would be a smarter move seeing how young the kid is right now.

    By that time, who knows what the welterweight picture will look like?
    It might not be so hot anymore, just look at the Jr MW division, it was STACKED a bit earlier but now it is..............meh.

      I was impressed. He can be a champion at 140, if he stays at the weight.

          My thoughts exactly. I don't see the division being as stacked as it is now by the time Alexander gets there, which will make it easier on him to become a standout star with his level of talent. I can see Paul Williams and Kermit Cintron moving up within another year or two, they're just too ****ing big for that division.

          I'd say Margarito is too but I think he's bound to stay in whatever division Mayweather is in for as long as he possibly can. So that when Mayweather exhausts every other possibility Marg may finally get his chance.

            Who was it last night on the crew who dubbed him "an aggressive version of Corey Spinks"? I think that sums him up pretty well. He's got the boxing pedigree of Spinks, but with a backbone and some balls thrown in for good measure.

                i was impressed by Alexander , i think i agreed with the bringer last night when we also talked about how he would do at welter he just isn't ready for it, right now he's a solid kid at 140 an accurate puncher and has a nice right hook and jab

                  Yeah, I remember us talking. I don't see him fitting into the current picture but as skills pointed out, it would most likely be a gradual thing, and in 2 years time who knows what the Welterweight picture will look like? Some of the guys there now look like Middleweights.
