    if you saw Alexander's last fight, you certainly shouldnt be saying that Bradley is ducking him. Bradley would have him for breakfast at this point and time.

    I dont know what Bradley is trying for either though. I would be very impressed with him if he fought Torres, Maidana, Campbell or Victor Ortiz.

      why not he is a champ is he not?

      he has now fought Junior Witter (who few wanted to fight) and Kendall Holt (a legit 140lber) taking BOTH of their titles.

      tell me what he hasn't done to earn a shot at some of the bigger fighters?

      and when I mean bigger just about everyone with a name is bigger than Alexander who is a literal unknown outside of the boxing hardcore

        let's see

        the loser of May 2nd
        Nate Campbell
        Victor Ortiz
        Zab Judah
        hell even Lamont Peterson

        all have more shine than Devon.

        Devon Alexander is a good name.
        in terms of being a good fighter? yes

        but in terms of name?

        hardly

        He already beat holt, what is he looking to fight torres or some crap?
        just told you some bigger names than Devon

        Because the winner of Pacquiao/Hatton are not looking towards bradleys way, they're looking towards Floyds way.
        no but the loser may want to go after Bradley's belt now wouldnt they?

          Pacquiao Hatton loser i highly doubt would fight Bradley. Someone like Juan Diaz a golden boy fighter would be much more attractive.

          Nate Campbell and Zab Judah are the only guys i can picture Bradley fighting at least at the moment.

            What kind of sense would it make putting Diaz against Pacquiao or Hatton after just being KO'd by JMM. How is that attractive at all?

              Diaz vs either of those guys would be a war. Everyone who knows boxing would want to see it.

              Im not saying it will happen im just saying that that fight would be more realistic to hbo than timothy bradley

                if its Manny. The opponent that would make the most sense is probably fighting in July so that would leave Manny probably looking for the most intriguing matchup and while yes Bradley is a smaller name than Diaz he still would bring the strap.

                if it's Hatton. He may want one more fight if he loses and what better way than to fight Bradley at Wembley for Bradley's strap? Bradley has been there before and I doubt would hesitate in going overseas to fight again

                see the point isn't that they HAVE to fight Bradley moreso than he at least should be in a position where if they are looking for a name or a person with a belt then he is available and thus more money than fighting Alexander

                its worth the risk IMO

                  Bradley-Campbell would be a pretty good fight I think. I am sure Bradley will fight Alexander at some point but they are both young so why not let that one simmer for a while.

                    Without a doubt I think Bradley deserves a fight with Hatton, but I think that if Amir Khan wins his next fight (IBF 140 belt) then Hatton will probably fight him, as it would be worth a lot of money in the UK.

                    I hope I'm wrong, because Khan is not at all deserving of the fight, but he bring a lot of money to the table.
