Comments Thread For: Devon Alexander: At 147, I'm Trouble For Everyone

I think he deserves a bit more credit for the maidana fight, winning every round is hardly 'squeezing' by

Right! He dominated Maidana. He also murked Juan Urango quicker than Ricky Hatton did.

I love how everyone hates Alexander. He did beat Urango and Maidana, and though he was on the right end of a questionable decision, the Matthysse fight was still close. It's not like Matthysse blew him out and dominated every round like Rios-Abril or even like Lara-Williams.

I'd like to see him fight Berto/Guerrero, Malignaggi, or even Brook after Bailey.

I had Mathysse winning at least 7 of the 10 rounds if i remember correctly - why was it 10 rounds anyway? Most likey because he would've been knocked out before it saw 12.

The Kotelnik robbery and the "It Burnnsssss" incident are probably two other reasons why people aren't all that high on him.

Don't forget Matthysse knocked him down aswell ontop of that.

Clearly lost to both Kotelnik and Matthysse and quit against Bradley.

Also add the fact he's not very good in there.

He lost to Kotelnik, Bradley, and Matthysse. I can't see how anyone scores either Kotelnik or Matthysse for Alexander. They may not have been 12-0 shutouts, but they should have been losses. He deserved neither.

It's the ******, "He's a new man at 147" talk that is irritating. People said the same stuff about Ortiz after the Berto fight, and it wasn't true for him, just like it's not true for Alexander.

He's better at 147. But He has 3 losses in my eyes.

He lost to Kotelnik, Bradley and got a disgusting gift against Matthysse

Anyone with an objective eye gave Matthysse 3 rounds over Alexander... that is not close at all, especially in a 10 round fight.

The disgusting part about that fight was one of the judges gave Alexander 6 rounds!!! I can't see it. I didn't think he won more than 3 rounds in that fight, maybe 4 if you are being really generous.

In St. Louis, at any weight class he is trouble for everyone.

He definitely lost both fights. Kotelnik by a wide margin.

And 100% agree on the second paragraph.

I like Devon he's willing to get in the ring and fight anyone.
