    You're only as good as your last fight.

    Never has that been more true. Look at so many turning on Alexander now, couple of weeks ago they were saying Bradley looked average and was ducking Alexander. Or before that they said Khan would lose to both. Talk about over reacting.

    It's much less people "turning" on Alexander, as people realizing he's not as good as he's made out to be.

      People are overreacting, but so many people were overrating Alexander to begin with. He has always been too easy to hit, and been very predictable offensively, it's just that when you are winning people ignore your flaws.

      I've been thinking watching Devon's fights leading up to last night that Bradley would dominate, and last night made me feel even more confident of that. Alexander has a lot of work to do if he is going to win that fight.

        Yeah well I made a thread here during all the "Bradley is ducking Alexander" threads saying that Alexander's own trainer was quoted in a recent Ring magazine article saying that they shouldn't fight yet, they should build it up. People were killing Bradley on here.

              I think Alexander has been overated that's all. Last night he looked very average, was getting beat by Kotelnik. Some have been on the Alexander bandwagon but i guess his hype train stopped as of last night.

                TS is right, a lot of people on here wont admit it now but they were high on Alexander. Alexander is a good young fighter he's just not ready to carry the torch yet.

                  When people talk about a young fighter who has proven nothing like he is the second coming and he gives a performance like that you have to expect some backlash. Max Kellerman was annointing him the future p4p king before the fight. Devon Alexander is a solid fighter with talent but he is not this special talent that most said he was and has never shown himself to be.
