Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander: Bradley, Stop Making Excuses and Fight!

[youngswish23]

Bradley doesnt want to fight. How long has it been? it doesnt take this long to make a fight. I think Victor Ortiz is pretty good. A fight between him and Devon would be pretty good. I want to see Ortiz vs Brandon Rios too that kid Rios looks pretty good too and i heard they had some bad blood before.

i agree with alexander im getting sick of bradley doing nothing but talking, him and khan need to stop hiding behind the keyboard and get in the ring with the top competition like they say theyre gonna do, at least khan is fighting maidana next, winners fight or stop talkin

This is Bradley posturing for more money from Shaw. How many times have we read about Bradley talking $$$$? And how many times has Devon talked $$$?

HBO wants this fight for Jan 29 and Bradley wants his payday. The fight is gonna happen.

Now for those who are downplaying Alexander's skill...well....even Bradley admitted that Devon had an "off night" on 8/7. Bradley knows that's not the fighter he'll get Jan 29.

Devon had an off night and never had his usual snap from the first bell. Think about it. He sat in his locker room and watched his former mentor get destroyed on the TV. He had to headline his first show and was running all over the STL doing various promotional appearances. Those issues would affect any 23 year old kid who had his first true shot at the big show. Devon showed the heart of a champion by digging deep and gutting out a win vs one of the most rugged 140'lbrs out there.

Go ahead and write off Devon. That's cool with me as I'll be the one at the betting window getting that fat + money from all the dead money you naysayers will be posting.

Stop making excuses. Alexander didn't have an "off night". He was schooled, outclassed, humiliated and dominated by a superior fighter. That was the worst robbery I have ever seen. Kotelnik is the REAL WBC/IBF Light Welterweight champion of the world.

Worst robbery you've ever seen? Really?

If you gets internets in Ukraine, you might want to YouTube DeLaHoya/Sturm.

Alexander -V- Ortiz if Bradley keeps ducking Alexander is a good fight. Ortiz will get a second chance and Alexander gets the chance to look better than he did against Kotelnik, Alexander lost to Kotelnik, We all know who the winner in that fight was.

But Ortiz is a good defence for Alexander

I wonder what Kotelnik's plans are for the future ?

[johncods]

These 2 divas are acting like superstars already. Just Shut the **** up and fight. **** alexander is lucky he is in the position he is now. Dude got beat up by kotelnik.

Whats the big rush in signing the contract? The fight isnt for another FOUR FRIGGIN MONTHS. Of course Bradley's gonna drag it out as long as possible to try and get more money from Shaw.

Just because Devon took the first offer from his promoter doesnt mean Bradley has to do the same.......lol

Thats a very good point. Hard to get a good angle on the situation when you're not party to the negotiations.

[LeadUppercut]

Devon Alexander is right, if Bradley is not going to sign for the fight then he should move on and give the chance to Ortiz. A fight between Alexander and Ortiz will be great as well.

No, OnePunch is right.

We just need to give this more time.

Most people seem to have a 5-second attention span, because of this "instant gratification" world that we live in

LMFAO So sad how mis informed you are...Lie1. How do you know how much Bradley got for the Campbell fight??It was never said but guess what at the time Campbell was more of a name then Devon..Lie 2. I also don't believe for a sec that Bradley would have been paid more to fight Devon..One had just unified the belts at 135lb and was a known vet...One just finish beating Bradley's sloppy secs...Lie 3.Bradley and Shaw can't come to an agreement because Bradley wants to shop around when his contract is up not be stuck with a guy like Shaw(who I love)who is not on the same level with promoters like GBP or Top Rank..Please before you post do your research before posting..Lie 4.Bradley has the best resume out of every fighter fighting at 140lb how dear you call him a *****??Did you ever box or someone who did box??If you do or did and you are talking in this manner calling a man who go's in a ring to test him self a *****,you sound ****** and like you don't know what ya talking about..Which by your post you don't..

Ok, now you're a poster that I usually like but I have to disagree with you here! U call this guy a liar but offer no facts of your own, just opinion! Bradley didn't make any more money fighting Nate than he would have had he fought Devon. And I'm sure if you asked One Punch he'd admit as much with out getting into specific numbers. Nate was a name and a fight team Bradley felt more certain of winning, period! I love Nate and having him on your resume is something to be respected but he was coming up in weight and had no belt! And if you want to be considered the top dog in your division, you think belts first, period! And im not gonna get into Shaw and the issue with money but the bottom line on that situation is he is under contract so whoever he fights in his next fight is with Shaw! Period! Not golden boy, top rank or who ever! So he should just get on with it! He's gonna make his biggest pay day with this fight! I'm not saying not to try to get all you can because as a fighter I think he deserves it, but there comes a point in time when you just have to man up and get things done! And he's not seeming willing to do that! So he does look like the hold up and the problem! Not his promoter of his opponent!
