Does anyone think Devon Alexander is being a bit overhyped?

[MOTHER DUCKER]

damn..i guess everyone is overhyped these days..lol

Come on Larry what he done? he needs to take on a few more top 5-10 Jr WW to prove himself he aint really done **** so far.. Same with Khan

He is being overhyped. A ton of people here think he's the best 140lb, which I can somewhat see but I don't agree. Whats really stunning is people act like he is the best American fighter right now. I seen a bunch of people saying Alexander would beat Berto.

About the same as Alexander but that wasn't my point. My point is a lot of people think he is the best at 140(a very good division with loaded talent) and can take on some of the best 147s and beat them. The way people talk about him, it makes them seem like they think he can beat Mayweather or something. He's talented but he is getting way over hyped. Bradley is more talented and he gets way less props for his talents.

none of the top guys at 140 have proven themselves....yet.


khan showed glimpses against malignaggi.
alexander showed some against urango.
bradley beat peterson, who i dont really consider a top contender.
maidana got props with the ortiz fight.
ortiz has to prove himself even more.

until they all fight each other, we wont know who's legit or not.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. People think this kid is the real deal, which is fine but don't compare him to legends or put him on the same level as Mayweather. IMO, he isn't going to make it that far because he gets hit a ton. Urango was hitting him with ease.
