    Anyone else feel that Devon Alexander is gettin to much hype?

    He is a great fighter but he still hasn't done much in the division. His KO over Juan Urango was a good win but Urango really isnt that good.

    The JWW division is stacked right now to throw him up there at the top seems a little too preemptive at this point.

    He's got pretty good skills, but I still think Bradley beats him

      Amir Khan is the one hyped to high heaven not Alexander.

        I don't think he is getting enough personally, Khan and Bradley are getting all the hype, Alexander is the lesser known guy out of all of them so how is he getting "Too Much Hype"?

        Alexander is a talented young fighter with amazing boxing skills, sure he has things to work on but he is only 23, he haven't even reached his full potential yet

                I do not think devon is hyped. I think he is a great fighter. his technical ability is underated. His slick southpaw stance with long range jab makes him an akward fighter for people to beat. He failed the olympic trials but despite this is very very mature for his age and does not appear to be on a learning curve but just gaining experience. He fights very well on the inside and outside and is accurate. I think either him or khan will unify the belts.

                  Alexander isnt hyped at all! While urango is an average fighter and moved up in weight Devon stopped him,in impressive fashion I might add.....I think he got heart too and beats bradley in a classic
