Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander-Paul Spadafora in Talks For July

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Look ya'll. I think everybody is missing the bigger picture here. Devon is trying to stay active against good competition. To me it doesn't matter if it's Marcos or Paul, I dont think anyone can disagree with the fact that it's stiff competition he is attempting to keep himself busy with. What more could we as fans ask for?

i love it when these back woods cats talk about spaddy beating mayweather up in sparring lol lol - what people fail to say is that mayweather was out of shape and over weight helping out spaddy who was 4 days out from a fight. Spaddy is very good, he just has some demons like everyone else. I personally would love to see this fight because the pitsburgh kid really is good, and he might be the closest to a mayweather esq style, but tends to brawl alittle more. His only weakness is his punching power. And to the question of what has spaddy done to earn a shot - the man has been in the game for 10 plus years, undefeated, did a small prison bid, came back and has gotten his life back together again - that is the american dream / rocky balboa story - he has earned his shot, and honestly he has a shot -

spaddy fights nothing like mayweather.

Bradley is fighting a no-name.

Alexander is fighting a no-name.

Why don't they fight each other? It is a fight that could quite easily be put together. Unless of course, they understand the risk vs reward factor and are avoiding each other.

I'm sure Bradley and Alexander would jump at the chance to fight the weak chinned Khan for a big payday, but they won't fight each other. Hhmm. Something tells me their promoters will match them with unproven opposition, until the winner of Khan - Malliignaggi is decided.

only hardcore boxing fans know bradley/alexander. if they fought each other next, the money wouldnt justify the match-up. let them get more exposure before they fight each other, to make the event even bigger. alexander/bradley has all the makings of a trilogy anyways, unless ortiz or valero get in the mix.

notice im not mentioning khan since his people would never put him in with any of the aforementioned.

Anyone that calls paul spadafora a no name is someone who dont know **** about the sport,former ibf champ and still undefeated 44-0.Tim bradley on the other hand is fighting a no name bum on hbo in june.

Bradley v Alexander isn't big enough yet outside the boxing scene. Both are young and Spadafora would be a decent win whilst waiting for a Bradley match, for Alexander.

Alexander will put atleast 15,000 asses in the seats in st.louis, whoever he fights. tim bradley will do 1,500 if he is lucky in the desert.

i'd like to see spadafora back in the mix as well. even if he has lost a step hed still have an entertaining style.
