    The only difference is, Maidana needs gift descisions to beat washed up fighters like Morales & Chop Chop (who Alexander dominated a few years earlier BTW), while Alexander's disputed wins are against prime "elite" opponents. The circumstances of Maidana's disputed wins are FAR worse considering the difference in level of opposition.

    And if Maidana ever fought Matthysse or Bradley, he would get an even worse beating from those 2 than the one Alexander's gonna lay on 'em at the end of this month.
    Maidana's "gifts" were fights that he had an argument for winning. Alexander has no argument for winning against either Kotelnik, who Maidana holds a win over BTW, or Matthysse. He lost those fights.

      You sir, are either absolutely insane or have no idea how to score a fight if you think the Matthysse & Kotelnik fights were clear losses for Alexander. Both fights were close and competitive and could've went either way.

      RE-read boxing's scoring criteria and go back and watch both fights without letting message board groupthink cloud your judgement.

      Like i said, there's a big difference between winning disputed decisions against washed up fighters then there is against prime opponents at the top of their game. Do you acknowledge the fact that Kotelnik & Matthysse are vastly superior opponents and a level above a washed up Morales & washed up Chop Chop?

      And i think you need double check your source(s) vis-a-vis Maidana/Kotelnik.

        Both were clear losses. I mean Kotelnik was at least 8 rounds to 4. At least. Mathysse was like 7 to 3...lulz@10 rounders btw.

          I never scored the Kotelnik fight. Watched it once live and thought the fight could've went either way.

          DID re-watch and score the Matthysse fight. And i had it Alexander by a round.

          Once again, the fight could've easily went either way. Wouldn't have been dissatisfied with a DRAW or Matthysse win. Far from a robbery though.

          I thought Alexander won more definitive rounds than Matthysse. The only dominant rounds for Matthysse in that fight were, 4,7, & 8. While Alexander won, 2, 3, 6 & 9 pretty clearly. Every other round were back & forth toss-up rounds. Far from a robbery.

            That is quite an impressive run of opponents! I Hadn't really noticed how hard he has been matched lately.....

            Props for taking those fights

                  The comparison with Froch is a no starter Alexander may of had a tough run of opponents but since his real step up in comp he should be 0-3.

                  Kotelnyk clearly won that fight.

                  He quit against Bradley in a lackluster encounter (another just reason for criticism)

                  He lost to Mythysse as well imo.

                  Don't be fooled by the Maidana fight either 10 rounder in Alexanders home town has home cooking written all over it.

                    <<<<< This one? Its real as far as i know, just stumbled across it on the net lookin for a new avvy.

                    Cotto is the Bhoy!


                    If Devon does Maidana he will be in line for a big one i think and that great run of badass opp will continue
