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

[IIG]

Whether he is getting too much hype or not, he is a champion who is willing to fight other champions immediately, so you have to respect that. With that said, I still think Bradley beats him, but I'm not as strong in that opinion as I was before.

some fighters are so great they create their own hype...is devon great?

Devon should get more hype. He's 23 years old with 20 wins and no losses. With 3 dominating wins over former champions.

The kid honestly could be the next P4P king.

Recently, he has been over hyped especially since Bradley hasn't shown any interest in fighting him.

Devon is a talented guy though. If Devon can work on his defense abit more, he can really be special.

If you watch, Urango was getting to him before the KO. Urango was landing pretty easily actually.

Any fighter willing to fight anyone in front of them deserves the hype.

Yes but I don't mind it...140 needs some fresh talent...its lookin better nowadays...

Cool it on the great fighter or great skills talk. There are only two fighters in boxing currently performing on a truly great level. Alexander isn't one of them. No knock on him either, but he hasn't shown me anything that proves he's anything more than a good, solid technician. Of course he has time to improve and I expect him to. But in this current scene, fighters of that level are hyped to more than what they really are because the talent pool and depth per division is remarkably underwhelming/mediocre.

I'd say Bradley and Khan are nothing more than good technicians (with solid athleticism), as well. All of the three young title holders at 140 have good strengths with clear weaknesses.

That was my point.

If Urango could find the target on Devon then Bradley,Khan, etc won't have any trouble at all. Besides that though, Devon is the complete package and would seriously cause problems for both guys and any other top 140 pounders.

His best win is against a one dimensional Urango,,,yup HYPE is all it is!!!!!
And I'm sure he will recieve more of it after fighting the dangerous Kotelnik
