    Devon Alexander

    How was that dude ever number 2 or 3 at 140 or even in the top 10? He sucks. I can think of 10 better fighters at light welterweight than him.

    He really isn't a good fighter, at all.

    He also looked slightly ******ed in his corner in the later rounds and I was starting to think he had some sort of neurological problems.

      When HBO put him up against Corely at a young age they were impressed. When they matched him against Urango, a guy that was never stopped, they were more impressed. I think it just snowballed from there.

        He doesnt suck he just never was good as advertised and i have been saying that since the Urango fight. Can you name me 10 jrww's right now that deserve to be ranked ahead of him?

          All I see from him is speed and sound effects and i guess he has a good chin too but that's it. Bradley and Khan would outbox him and Ortiz possibly stops him, imo.

              These guys do not belong ahead of Alexander in the rankings imo. Alexander isnt that good but he isnt a bum either.

                I think he is a bum. I've seen it in him in his last three fights. Alexander is young and fast. That's why he will give his opponents tough fights but that's it. He sucks. He won't be fighting those top guys in his home town anymore. Once he loses again, people won't give a **** about him.

                  His last 3 fighters were against 3 fighters that you would have in the top 5 in that division. Even if you felt he lost all 3 bouts, that doesn't mean he's a bum. 140 is one of the best divisions. To be in the top 7 or 8 fighters would mean you aren't a bum.

                    I agree and i have been one of Alexander's harshest critics even before his last 3 fights. He is in the bottom half of the top 10 at jrww i wouldnt call that a bum.
