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

[Walt Liquor]

im happy that 140 is in the spotlight. i have no doubt these guys will get it on soon, there's too much talent there.

anyone else for a tourney?

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.

Urango has a iron chin...nobody here expected devon to KO him...that was a fantastic win for Devon

I give Cunningham most of the credit for the KO, to be honest. He worked Devon's entire camp around that one punch. He obviously saw something in Urango's style that made him vulnerable to the punch, and he was right on the money.

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.

Dont get me wrong I respect any fighter willing to fight all top guys. Devon is just so young and his only big fight was against Urango who isnt that great and people are already throwing him up at number two in the division.

He could be great and it looks like he will be but people seem to get a little excited about him.

Bradley won't fight ANYBODY, Khan won't fight punchers and they are regarded as the Kings despite there selective stalling and choice of fights based on there own weaknesses. Devon Alexander is being made into the villain for pursuing the meaningful fights and trying to unify the titles. Some people don't care about the belts at all, some do and Devon Alexander wants to fight the other belt holders and give the fans some good fights that matter and the best they can offer is "Down the line, In the near future, it takes time, maybe next year or a few fights later, maybe after a tune up" it's all ***** made bull****, they trying to black ball Devon Alexander because he wins in impressive fashion while Bradley and Khan merely get by and try to **** as much money out of people with there third rate fights that have absolutely no relevance whatsoever. If anything Alexander is getting the short end of the stick because cowards can use these lame "It's the way of the business" excuses to not fight.

I agree totally.

This has nothing to do with his attempts to get fights with Bradley or whoever else. It is the fact that after knocking out Urango all of a sudden he is considered the top 3 JWW.

He wasn't even expected to KO Urango and did, Bradley & Khan haven't fought in the pocket and scored any sensational against any recent opponents that had even close to Urangos chin, since when is KO'ing a man with a good chin in exciting fashion been a bad thing? Bradley and Khan have only produced exciting moments like that going down themselves and Alexander punches way harder than Holt and he blasted Bradley twice and Khan was outright destroyed with one punch, why is Alexander punished for winning the way fans like but Khan and Bradley have got blasted and put on the floor and now get a pass for not fighting guys that could even possibly do it again?

Ill just leave this here

Young up and coming fighters deserve every inch of hype they get for putting their balls on the line and playing the game.

I wish it was like that for fighters in the UK but here its almost regarded like a second rate sport. British or European belts don't get any TV coverage at all.
