    If PAC doesn't respect your punch, it's only a matter of time. But, Bradley will give him fits.

    To this day, I don't know why Devon got all this hype. I saw him live too, he's good, but, I just don't understand why all the hoopla with the St. Louis resident.
    Why Devon gets the hype, I have no idea. I agree...........

    But, Bradley I think his power is underrated, no is not KO power. But, is enough to demand respect. Maybe not get Pac respect but at the same Bradley is such an overall talent and skill that he could give Pac hell.

        And, I am not even sure Alexander brings a different approach than say Cotto. Alexander really has no D. You act like Pac won't hit nothing against Alexander. Because, we talking about Alexander which you wanted to post this.

        Bradley, I can see. Because, he can fight on the inside and still roll punches off, however doesn't have great speed, but does everything well and overall is a good fighter. But, Alexander? People forget cuz of the impressive KO that Urango, slow Urango was touching up Alexander. It was an even fight before the stoppage. A slow Kotelnik was landing on Alexander. Alexander for as such a defensive wizard threw more and landed less than Kotelnik.

        Alexander brings nothing different to Pac. Just a quick KO that is it, since we haven't seen it in the last 3 fights. Just cuz Alexander is black doesn't mean he is some cutie in there that would bring something Pac has never seen. The only thing different is that he is an African American. But, for a boxing style stand point he brings nothing to the table that can give Pac any kind of trouble?
        I didn't call them slick, I wouldnt. Bradley has the meldrick Taylor personality. The potential to box circles around someone but will always be pulled into a fight. Heart is bigger thsn his head.

        Personally I'd just like to see someone who doesn't square up for once, a different stance and fight plan or approach/frame of mind. It isn't just the styles but it's also the level of pride these men he's fighting have. Hatton, cotto, margi, Erik, Barrera, jmm even Diaz. These men enjoy a fight and cone to do just that.... Have too much pride to shy away from it. Then there's the other type of fighters...win at any cost, who cares if it satisfies fans or not? Lol.

          i think your a troll.

          to a certain extent they have avoided pure boxers but theres no reason to bring race or nationality into it. bradley and alexander are talented fighters and would give him more trouble then most of his recent oponents for sure, but to say they would school him is absurd.

          alot of ppl think mayweather would dominate pac and just as many think pac would dominated floyd. i think they are all wrong, its a very close fight. i can respect your opinion on that one though, the other crap is pure nonsense.

            Bradley and Alexander, pfff... Pac would ****ing murder these guys who ain't proved ****. Just because they're black don't automatically give them a free pass to a fight with Pac.

            Pac's already destroyed the long time lineal 140 champion. Right now there is not one proven great fighter there. Let them settle the 140 debate first and see if they deserve the fight after. I think Khan destroys both of them.

            Mayweather is the only black fighter Pac should be fighting (ain't Pac's fault the ***** would rather frolic around on some beach or resort with his manicured feet and nails). And maybe Paul Williams should he beats Martinez.

            Mosley is the only black fighter he should have fought. Though he fought Cotto instead who was the bigger draw and had beaten Mosley so it's not like he pulled a Mayweather and fought an outmatched guy in a tune-up instead.

            GTFO with Zahir Raheem and Nate Campbell crap. Pac would've decapitated Campbell as Robbie Peden almost did. And Raheem lost to Popo Freitas after he beat Morales so how the **** did he deserve a fight? Wouldn't Freitas or Casamayor, Valero, Guzman, J.Diaz deserve it more than these guys if Pac was planning on sticking around at 135 instead of making history? I swear Black American fighters get overrated as hell.

              Maybe because,all the big fishes the divisions he fought always were latinos fighters.
              He could have fight MOsley or Floyd tough....But Floyd is hiding,Mosley is shot.

              Margarito,Cotto,Clottey> Bradley,Alexander,Berto.

              Morales,Barrera,Marquez>Raheem,Guzman,Campbell

              Afro american fighters are overrated in my opinion.
              Except Floyd and Nard,they all are average but seen as boxing stars because of the medias.
              To me Berto and Bradley,for exemple are nothing special and it will be exposed soon.
              Already been done for all these heavyweight hopes ,Dawson,Alexander and Williams.

                    You have me mixed up with someone else. I have never once mentioned Bradley or Alexander in any of my posts man. Why are you bringing them up?

                    As for the guys mentioning raheem. Morales > Raheem by a mile. But Zahir wins that fight evertime because he's the only guy on eriks sheet who stood sideways, up jabbed, and other unconventional things he wasn't use to. Styles make fights.
