    Was Devon Alexander Overhyped?

    Because he was unbeaten & American, or is Tim that good?

    Both are overhyped because they are American.

      Because, he landed one damn uppercut against Urango.

      Kind of the same way Maidana is overhyped. Because, he make a heartless hypejob quit.

        Overrated? Yes.

        But he was not overrated because he was American. It had nothing to do with him being American. He became overrated after his fight with Urango because people started calling him the best fighter in the division and a future p4p fighter.

          Maybe overhyped by HBO...

          Definently not superfight level of a fighter...

          He's a good fighter although flawed...

            He is no warrior.

            He's a delicate china doll.

            Give him a good shake, make some blood run down his face and he packs it in.

            I just find it hilarious how Devon's trainer said the only way Bradley would beat Devon is by killing him.

            Devon was nowhere near dying when he quit.

                Of course he was. He's in a business that is successful due to hyping events, fighters, etc.

                He was still better than virtually any other option out there at 140, but he was hyped. That's good for the sport.

                    Alexander was exposed a little tonight. Any sort of tough, ugly fight, will be enough to bail him out. If he cant fight his fight then he's done.
