Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander Fires: Tim Bradley, I Will Beat Your Ass

[QUOTE=j.one;8548450][QUOTE=romebyko;8548383]

That was then this is now...I don't hate Bradley by any means but his actions here seem to be all about raping the fans for money and avoiding the fight. Devon is ranked now and does have recent KO's. The point is this fight is what people want and Bradley refuses to do it. I do not believe he will make more money moving up and based on his power probably won't score an impressive KO here either.

Dude as a Mayweather I'm surprised you are talking about KO's.Bradley every fight I've seen of Bradley has been exciting and left me with a good taste in my mouth.I also must say the same about Abregu.He is not cheating the fan's the man has fought hard to be the num1 Jr WW in the world right now.Devon moved up fairly easy IMO.I think the fight will happen but like Mayweather or Pac when you are num1 it happen's on your terms.

plucked eye brows or not, I got Tim.

HBO knows how big this fight is, cmon now #1 vs#2 unification bout, and floyd would very much be interested because floyd even proclaimed devon as the next best boxer when he retires, said he will pass the torch to devon. so if that came out of his own mouth, why wouldn't he want to fight the guy that beat the man he was praising. that alone means a lot because floyd isn't saying anything about bradley, and floyd is the fight that bradley claims he want. alexander has way more hype than peterson. so a win over devon will not only get floyd but the rest of the guys you mention. ethier way you look at it, its still best if he fights devon

I think him fighting Devon is great 1 vs 2 is how it should be.But I also agree that it should be big and the 2 best Jr WW should earn that num2 slot.Dude since getting the num 2 slot he fought nobody.He had an easy road to get that num2 spot as well him and Khan had fairly easy roads compared to Bradley this is a fact you have to admit that bro.

peterson wasn't ready to fight bradley, i knew he was going to lose before they even got in the ring, and im sure other fans thought that too thats why people didn't care. bradley and devon are the two top fighters at 140. alot of people think devon will win and a lot think bradley will win. plus its a chance to unify three belts. berto is a bigger name than devon is now, but thats not what people want to see now. its not more hype with him and berto. Devon and Bradley been on boxingscene going at it for months, and everybody want to see who is the true best jww. like i said berto can't even get a fight with floyd and he is a bigger name than bradley, and beat good fighters at 147. beating berto would be a step up but it still won't generate the money that floyd is looking for. thats why he will have a better chance fighting devon.

The reason is Al Haymon. He's not going to put those two in the ring with eachother. Why? Because Floyd would suck up all of Berto's potential star power by systematically busting the young fighter's a$$ to a stoppage that Berto would not recover from.

No power huh.thank you i been tryna tell people that....3 years since his last ko and he is the best at 140??

Wyl, He doesn't need KO's to make him the best in a weight class, he needs W's and thats what he's been getting.

I can understand Timmy attempting to call the shots as he is a little more established at 140 than all the rest, BUT all of these young lions started shinning before Timmy could FULLY establish himself, so that is where the loop hole is. The timing of Maidana, and Devon's victories couldn't have came at a worse time for Tim(especially in the case of Devon, being that Devon has not one but TWO belts). Now Timmy went through a simi-murders' row to get to where he is right now, so I can respect his position some what. A fight between Timmy and Devon should NOT be on PPV, atleast not the 1st one as I think if these two get in the ring it would call for a rematch(These guys are that evenly matched). The 2nd fight between the two should be the one on PPV. These guys have to reach the masses and they will not do that if their 1st fight is PPV.

Now on to Amir. I am not sold on Amir Kahn at ALL. He has not shown me anything special and I see way too many flaws in his game(to be specific his defense and two glaring things that I saw on his offense). Right now they are trying to legitamize Amir, because this kid is getting seven figures for what exactly?????? Because he's a silver medalist?????? That **** is a bunch of crock. Amir is going to have to fight punchers at 140, so right now they are trying to repair the duck job that went on with Maidana and at the same time put him in with a faded star for name appeal and being that Casa is a harder puncher than Paulie but from a weight class below they're trying to sell us a bull**** fight. If Kahn gets in the ring with Katsidis it would be a whole different ballgame but Kats would be the smaller man in that fight as well he is a LW. Lamont would be a good scrap and acceptable to me but he doesn't have the same pop as Anthony does and right now I want to see Amir in with some one who could decapitate him if he doesn't bring his A-game. Don't forget that Kats has been in a couple of wars, he is going to age faster than we think IMO.

God damn Chiefy you never disappoint me.Timmy and Devon should not be on PPV(Not the first one like you said)but what I was trying to say was let it be talk about in a few more Barbershop's in school's you know.My thing is Devon has a fight so does Timmy after if HBO is interested still let umm put up some decent money for it nothing wrong with that.I feel like HBO might have low balled Bradley and as a guy on the come up who earned his spot you not trying to hear that ya know.I feel like this is a fight for early next year in Vegas hopefully with some nice buzz.I also believe it will live up to the at hype as well.But you are so right about the timing of Khan and Devon and Maidana they pop out and it change everything at Jr WW.But Bradley is still the man and has to act like he is keep the ball in his court so to say ya know.

Not true. Many people were picking Peterson to pull the upset. He had a lot of hype from Arum going into that fight, especially because of the reports of him getting the best of Floyd in one of their sparring sessions. I'd say Devon is about right at the mark Peterson was at that time right now, possibly slightly less. So how is this fight going to do much? It certainly wouldn't make HBO or Floyd any interested in fighting him. And even if beating Berto doesn't get him a fight with the big two, it'll still expand his opportunities. He could even get fights with guys like Clottey, Mosley or Cotto from there. Clottey isn't a huge draw, but Cotto and Mosley can do big numbers at this point.

But as I said, a win over Alexander would just solidify his spot as the top JWW. But other than respect from the die hard boxing fans and websites like BoxingScene (which is less than 0.5% of the boxing world), what would he gain from that fight right now? Khan and Ortiz definitely wouldn't fight him after that. Possibly Maidana, but I expect Ortiz to beat him in a rematch before the end of this year so that fight matter.

I cannot agree with whats bolded potna. Devon is far past where Lamont Peterson was at the time of the Timmy bout.

Abregu is a test for Timmy at WW pure and simple. Most of his fights have been in Argentina, and the best name on his resume is David Estrada(which isn't bad BTW). Abregu is going to be in Timmy's face all night long, but I think Tim is up for the task. Timmy is trying to catch Floyd and Manny before they retire. He's not really interested in cleaning out 140, but I think Tim is moving too fast for his star power to catch up.

Devon made a profound statement by KO'ing Urango. Berto couldn't do it at 147, and Randall Bailey is the hardest puncher at 140 hands down and HE couldn't get Urango out of there, and that KD he gave Urango was a devestating shot; when he landed it I thought the fight ws over but Urango got up and went on to stop Randall.

P.S. Randall's last fight was at 147, I would love to see how Timmy handles him more so than Abregu. But Abregu is not a bad fight for Timmy's WW coming out party.

I gonna start by saying Randall hurt Urango so bad in that fight I believe he brought that in to the ring with him against Devon.Not to take nothing away from Devon but I really feel Urango was still affects from that shot.I say Bradley boxes Randall's ear's off but hit the floor.I even think Devon might drop Bradley but Bradley get's up and fight's like a dog again and again.I think Bradley was hit with the Cleanest punch of 09.It came from a puncher(Holt)nice on the chin he should not have gotten up.He not only got up but beat the hell out of Holt.Bradley showed how he would react in that place we are yet to find out how Devon would react.But Abregu is a great fight I do really want to see it.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I agree with your logic on this here bruh, and I do remember Floyd saying that. Tim MUST fight Devon, he let Devon come up behind him too quickly, and now Devon is damn near unavoidable.

I believe Bradley know's this tho.There is no avoiding devon at this point.If it was just Khan then yea he could but Devon is to hot right now.

I hope to never let you down Rome homie. I agree honestly right now at THIS very moment Tim IS the man at 140, but not by a whole lot, he is only the man because of his resume:

Campbell (Established Solid LW titalist)
Holt (Established)
Witter (Established former Titalist)
Peterson (Young up and coming)
Cherry (Young up and coming, lost his star power, making a comeback)

With these fights one after the other(In no particular order), he has vanquished the old opponents in 140; but a new crop sprung up like weeds. Bradley has his hands full. You gotta pay the cost to be the boss.
