Hate him or love him, Devon Alexander is fighting top opposition

[Crazylegs77]

Urango

Kotelnik

Bradley

Matthysse

Maidana

Even though he lost his last three fights, you can't deny Devon's willingness to fight top fighters in a row.

I'm not Devon's biggest fan out there but this guy deserves props

With that being said, cry me a river b*tch !!

Yes the loss to Kotelnik was quite impressive

People will hate on the kid regardless.

People hate on him because he has two wins he should not have. That tends to make people hate a fighter.

I love how everyone hates on Devon even though he does something that everyone on here wants others fighters to do, go against top competition in every fight. How many fighters schedule a tough comeback fight after their first, and embarrassing, loss? Not many. So you got to give him credit for that.

As for the "robberies", STFU already. I am tired of every close fight being labeled a robbery on here because it didn't go the way you thought it did. Can an argument be made that he lost those fights, of course. However, one can be made that he did enough to win them too. You know why, because they were close fights. Different judges like different things, it's boxing, judging is subjective.

100% true he does not have to fight the guys he has fought. Tremendous fighter and I expect him to shine against a slow but powerful Maidana.

[Ringlife]

I do give the guy Props for fighting those guys in that order.

Maidana is going to **** him up, fair play to him for facing Matthysse and Maidana though. Two tough bastards.

Same here, I'm also expecting him to shine against Maidana. If he's unable to have more success than Morales or Corley did against Maidana or loses, it's probably the end of the line for him.

i agree with OP, devon is fighting top guys, gotta respect it

[RubenSonny]

Meh....He has no choice. He's a gatekeeper. He doing what a gatekeeper is suppose to do.

He could make decent money fighting lesser opposition, he definitely has a choice.

He has no argument for winning either the Kotelnik or Matthysse fights. Kotelnik had 7 clear rounds, that there's no way you could say he didn't win. You could say Alexander won 5 rounds at most against Matthysse, which wouldn't be enough to win because of the knockdown. There's no way you can say he won 6 rounds to get the win.
