    He wasn't KTFO, he retired after the sixth I believe.

    Holt has skills to go along with good athleticism and height, but he's a bit weak mentally.

      If Bradley steps up to the challenge I will bet you 4 million on an Alexander win, you people forget how easily Holt tagged him, and how his power restricted Bradley from doing as well as he should have. Mind you Holt sucks and it would not have been a robbery had he been given the fight too.

        Holt had success at certain points, but I believe that since then Bradley has shown improvements. He's not as wide or as sloppy with his punches, and isn't squaring up as much.

        I think the very best Holt could've hoped for is a draw. He was pretty much outworked and outhustled every round from the second to the eleventh.

          He has improved since, and Devon doesn't have Holt's power.

            He is very overated on here atm basically based of a good performance vs someone he SHOULD beat if he was going to be a decent talent, Urango is a contender. Bradley allready beat Witter anyway and Koltenik did aswell (he didn't) but he got robbed due to uk judges.

            Looks like a good fighter but is yet to prove it his resume is under Khan and for sure Bradley's

                Man tell me who he has faced seriously?

                Urango
                Witter who bradley and arguably Koltenik allready beat before + Witter quit due to some injury
                Corley coming of 3 losses?

                The rest has been bums with terrible records i mean real terrible ..

                Kotelnik>Urango
                Paulie>Witter (at that stage of witters career)

                You can make a case for it being pretty even i guess..

                  He doesn't?? Holt doesn't have much power go check his KO percentage dude.

                    Urango at least had a win over Bailey who was a huge ass KO puncher. And then you have to factor in that Berto and Hatton had to work for the win against him. Holt got his **** knocked into next week by Torres who is an average fighter himself. Campell was coming off a life and death struggle with Funeka and went on to lose to Victor Ortiz. Peterson never beat one good fighter in his career, so what is so special about him? The quality of Alexander and Bradley's opponents are close to the same it's just the quantity that's different.

                      Devon is a great fighter, but the dude is getting mad overrated. Everyone just jumps on his nuts for calling out Bradley and pulls the ducking card. When Alexander was the mandatory for Bradley, no one gave a **** about him.

                      His win over Juan Urango is pretty good, but Bradley has done the overall better body of work. Boxing fans need patience.
