Of course, he's is an elite fighter. He's headlining and winning on HBO. That maybe nothing to Larry Merchant, but I never did it. Is he the best at 147? Now we can start the arguments.

he is still developing, but he looked much better than he did against bradley. when he gets to his peak, he could be like a southpaw mel taylor type of guy. hes gotta get more experience

Alexander an elite fighter? His ass got handed to him by Bradley, that ain't elite.

He's very good, though he admits he's a work in progress still. But he better speed that process up if he's chasing the big money fights at welterweight.

He isn't the best at 147. He wasn't the best at 140. No arguments required.

hes not elite, but neither is khan but most were convinced he was.

[IronDanHamza]

He's not an elite fighter and never will be.

I haven't seen anybody label him "ELITE" after beating Maidana though so...

It was a Nice win for Alexander and a solid Performance considering it was his first fight at 147, I give credit to both fighters for taking this fight as their 1st Welterweight Fight

The HBO Broadcasting Team was so much better without Merchant Last Night Though lol
