    So where do you put Devon Alexander in the 140lb mix?

    Pretty deep division...

    That uppercut he landed would have put any of the contenders on the seat of their pants.

    Im not sold on Alexander just yet. I need to see him against someone thats not moving straight at him and isnt there to be hit at will.

    Very good for what he did, he looks like a sound boxer, but not quite the finished article. I wouldn't favour him against Bradley right now, and depending on Khan's chin (which we haven't seen tested at this weight) I'm not sure I'd favour him over Amir just yet. Those are the only two I see could see beating him at this time though.

          Yea I did. It was Junior Witter.

          I dont consider JW even a gatekeeper anymore. Not with the talent at 140 right now.

          Im talking Bradley, Kahn, even Maidano.

          Guys whose feet arent going to leave the canvas when throwing a huge left hook with their eyes shut.

          =)

                I say Alexander is #2 now...

                Forget Hatton, he isn't coming back making any type of noise...

                  I concur. That is the fight to be made.

                    this....and the shame of it all is "the rest" are the guys who have big HBO money behind them and none of them want anything to do with those guys. Bradley-Alexander would be another unfication bout for Devon.....to think he's younger than Amir Khan and Khan uses his age as an excuse not to fight the top guys smh. 23 year old unified champ, knocked out the iron twin very impressive.
