You're only as good as your last fight.

So true, people forget he is only 23. Technically his body isn't even fully matured. He was in a tough fight last night, and he showed a lot of heart and grit. Yeah he has also shown venerability in the process, but what's important now is that he learns from it.

It typical that people quickly jump from fighter to fighter just because someone loses or looks bad. It's pathetic.

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.

I couldn't agree more. I've always said Bradley was the best Jr welter, but some people here trash him just because they favored Alexander, now they saw he was just a good fighter and not the next Mayweather and now they're turning them backs on him.

I never go by that phrase "You're only as good as your last fight". Casual fans go by that theory. Going by that theory means that Alexander will get his ass kicked by Bradley/Khan/Maidana. Fans not knowing that styles make fights and that style was the one that beat Alexander. Think about it.

People thought since Funeka kicked Guzman ass in the first fight that he was going to do it again not paying attention that in the fight once Guzman nose got busted he went downhill. Second fight comes around Guzman dominates. I believe the same will happen when Ortiz fights Maidana again. He brawled with a brawler and lost when his plan A was to box but he got enticed by the crowd but in rematch Ortiz will win.

Same with Dawson vs Johnson, they thought Dawson was gonna get bombed by Johnson cause of the first fight. With boxing you have to analyze why is this person losing at all angles. But most fans dont think for themselves so therefore you see alot of threads on why Alexander is a bum now and what not and yes I believed he lost that fight badly.

I'm talking about how a lot of people on here view things. No, I don't think that the real Mike Tyson was the one who fought Mcbride in his last fight for example.
