Comments Thread For: Merchant Still Not Convinced Alexander is an Elite Fighter

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

larry merchant doesnt care about black people *kanye west voice

[ShoulderRoll]

He looked more spectacular against Maidana than Amir Khan did. We know that much.

[Corelone]

you know what he means though, like worthy of being on HBO

Couldn't agree more. Elite doesn't mean unbeatable, it means "among" the best. To hear Larry tell it, Maidana is a nobody, but he only came to that conclusion yesterday. Now Devon gets another guaranteed night on HBO. BIG MONEY, that's ELITE

[£-4-£]

No.

He lost to Matthysse and Kotelnik, as well as Bradley.

[JimmyMcNulty]

An elite fighter would have made short work of Maidana last night.

I'm not convinced either but who cares what Merchant thinks?

[bojangles1987]

Devon Alexander is not an elite fighter, not at all. No reason to be convinced he is.

[Hougigo]

Not elite yea... who thinks he's elite?

[Ericd314]

No.

He lost to Matthysse and Kotelnik, as well as Bradley.

with that kind of thinking is equivalent to saying Pacquiao lost to JMM 3 times and Morales once....i mean who cares what the judges say its public perception of the fight right? am i correct?
