    WHAT ARE THEY MISSING Vol 4: Devon Alexander

    I know most people have given up on Devon Alexander, but the guy really is talented... He's got speed, power, decent stamina... Also, an underrated quality he possesses, he seems willing to fight anyone

    So why is he so boring, why is he so far from unbeatable... He got outboxed by Kotelnik, and had absolutely no response to what was essentially the same thing every round... He ultimately lost to Bradley, despite being the more talented fighter... And he got outfought by Matthysse in one of Matthysse's worst showing (just watched it, he looked real sloppy)

    He's so talented, it seems like such a waste... He really does have the ability to be elite, and as far as skills... Its a start... What would u do with him

    JUST A REMINDER: all WATM episodes are hypothetical

    Louder grunts would be funny.

    And... better inside game I would say.

          He's dumb. He never seems to have the right gameplan against the top fighters, and he isn't able to adjust during the fight if a fighter is giving him problems. When I watch him fight I feel like there's no thinking going on. And he has no heart.

            He's just so god damn boring, I've seen his fights and I've tried to give him a chance but he always end up giving a really boring performance.

              He pulls his punches because Cunningham still trains him to hit like an amateur. His punches are fast but they barely get to their targe. He never follows through with anything. Could be attributed to the fact he's actually right handed but even so his constant need to have his hands pulled back just as fast as they're throwndoes nothing for him. After all these years of fighting the same way I don't believe he can unlearn that by dumping Cunningham
