On Saturday night, when an HBO-televised, junior welterweight double-header takes place at New York's Madison Square Garden, Devon Alexander will be an intense observer at the home of his trainer and manager, Kevin Cunningham. [Click Here To Read More]

This kid is like Tim Bradley a year or two ago. Now Bradley has had a couple of nice wins and he's picking and choosing like everyone else. I wonder if Alexander will do the same once his name gets recognized a little bit more.

I think Alexander beat all the 140 including Bradley. The kid is just fast and powerful...got that KO punch which Bradley lacks and would be the difference in the matchup if they every fought....Khan fighting Alexander would be a slaughter: Khan would get KTFO.

Lamont Peterson is fast, powerful and big too. I think he and Devon would be a good fight. They should fight next. Devon can't go in and out and counter as quickly as Bradley does so Peterson wouldn't have to worry about that, but at the same time he's much more powerful than Bradley so it could be a long night. Both have a deadly uppercut too.

It's a shame Bradley-Alexander isn't going down. Would have been one hell of a fight. Anyway, I agree with both of Alexander's predictions, and I'm glad he wants to fight Khan. Winner of that fight should get Bradley.

"Nate Campbell was scared of Timothy Bradley when they fought. He acted like he didn't want to get hit," said Alexander.

not true. nate stalked bradley and was walking him down for the first two rounds. that changed at the start of the 3rd only cuz bradley headbutted nate's eyeball. nate went into a shell the rest of that round.

I love the 140lb division. So many good fights that can be made.

Oh, and these predictions look very accurate. I'm going Devon on this. I've been predicting that all along. I think both fights will be competitive, but I can't see Malignaggi or Campbell making it to the final bell.

Of course he will, they all do.

However I wouldn't go around condemning Bradley just yet. He's more open than most in terms of taking risks and throwing down with dangerous opponents. The Bradley v Alexander bout being put on backburner is clearly more a case of optimising potential profit rather than one guy being afraid of losing to the other.

I disagree S.G. Don King does not have the leverage to pick and choose opponents for Alexander and will take whatever he can get at this point. The reason Bradley and all those other top 140 lber's do that is because they have a major promoter....and EVEN Bradley is getting frozen out because he is with Shaw....GBP has most of the talent and they're fighting each other (Khan, Maidana, Ortiz, and Campbell)...
