OMG, why is everybody hatin' Devon over 1 fight?

Its because everyone was saying hes the best at 140lbs and a future p4p star,the man he lost to(IMO) lost every rd to Khan(A man many on here have hated on)
Kotelnik is slow and is feather fisted yet he went to Devons backyard and beat him.

not really seeing any hate. lots of unbiased facts though. devon's defense clearly needs some work. he prolly got hit more last night than bradley or khan did in their last 2 fights. if he doesn't clean up his d it's gonna give him a lot of grief when he starts fighting the other players at 140.

No ONE IS HATING ON HIM!!!

We're just saying he lost the fight. We are hating on the scorecard not him.

I mean come on. Even the greatest fighters have had bad fights before. Look at Pacs last fight. Or bothfights with Marquez. Look at Floyd vs Castillo. See Maidana vs Ortiz. What I'm saying is that its not always going to be pretty. But as long as you win, everything is good.

ON SECOND THOUGHT: Why is it that when Floyd literally blows an opponent out (i.e. Marquez) everyone says its boring basically because Floyd didn't get touched. Yet, Devon does get touched and all of a sudden he's not that good. I mean, ol Clottey scuffed Pac up back in March and he's still god to miost of yall. Yet devon get a little scuffed up and he's not good...smh. Do yall want competitive fights or blowouts? Make up ur minds...

Pacquiao's last fight was a dominant win over Joshua Clottey. Clottey is leagues above Kotelnik. And Pacquiao won every single minute of every single round. ****** comparison. Marquez is light years ahead of Kotelnik.

Mayweather beat Castillo twice. The first time was close because Floyd fought 11 rounds of it with one good arm. And again, Castillo is leagues above Kotelnik.

Ortiz is nothing special. Most people rate Maidana ahead of him.

A lot of people gave Kotelnik 5 or more rounds. To think that Alexander almost lost to this guy is not only absurd, it's frightening. I thought Alexander was pound for pound potential. After last night, I don't think much of him at all to be honest. He didn't show much heart when the going got tough, he never listened to his corner once (not that Cunningham is a good trainer), and he never once made an adjustment that helped him out. This guy might be great one day, but right now he is nowhere near where Mayweather was at this point in Floyd's career. Nowhere near.

wtf?

pac was against someone who wouldnt fight back..

and floyd had a broken hand against castillo...

your examples makes no sense, but it's understandable since you're in the red.

When the future P4P king, according to many of the posters here and even the HBO crew, loses and gets beaten up badly in his hometown to a 9-1 underdog, there is going to be criticism.

Comparing this fight to Pac/Clottey or Pac/Marquez is utter ******ity. It doesn't even merit discussion beyond that really.

IMO His flaws was exposed and there were alot of umm.He is not ready to fight a Bradley and I think alot of people know this now...You bring up Pac and Floyd those are well established fighters.Devon kinda got big with his KO of Urango but what has he really done.I must say Bradley has fought the harder and tougher opposition.Khan and Devon went up the ranks without fighting as tough fighters.Devon fought a world class opponent last night and was exposed to some degree(Don't you think?)Kottie is not as good as Bradley or Khan so what are we to think??

**BigStereotype** · 08-08-2010, 12:12 PM

Devon looked bad last night, no doubt about it, but I still think he'll bounce back.

**Battle Hardened** · 08-08-2010, 12:16 PM

You're only as good as your last fight...
