    Devon Alexander's run of opponents...

    Junior Witter -> Juan Urango -> Andriy Kotelnyk -> Timothy Bradley -> Lucas Martin Matthysse -> Marcos Maidana -> Randall Bailey -> Kell Brook

    This is very solid run of opponents, probably one of the best in boxing right now. He obviously gets some hate for the Mattysse fight (had him losing but closely, not a robbery), the Kotelnyk fight (same again) and the Bradley fight (didnt seem like he was really trying and crap end to the fight) but that doesnt change the fact he fought them. Randall Bailey is probably the weakest opponent on the list due to his age, however he had just come off a ko win of a highly touted prospect.

    The Brook fight is another solid one were the outcome is definitely not certain.

    In an age were people constantly hate on fighters not taking risks hes built a pretty solid resume i reckon!

    The problem is that most people feel he lost some of those fights. But I agree it's definitely a very solid run of opposition.

      Not the best in boxing (Carl Froch owns that easily), but it's good...not great.

      Maidana at 147 is average at best, Bailey has nothing but a punch and Witter was finished. Urango is a good fighter, but Kotelnyk, Bradley, Matthysse and Brook are all top names to fight.

          People get on him for getting gifts but remember he doesn't do the judging.
