Is Devon Alexander a bit underrated/under-appreciated?

[Tmann400]

I think so. Yes, I know how a lot of people feel about the Matthysse and Kotelnik fights, all of that aside though, it can't be denied that Devon has taken on the very best there is repeatedly, and most of the time wins and wins dominantly and comfortably. I'm no fan of Alexander, but I've noticed that he gets absolutely no credit for taking on the toughest fights consistently. He really gets zero credit for these things whereas a lot of other fighters DO. I mean, how many fighters can you honestly say never got a questionable decision victory?....Not too many. Just like you can say how many fighters haven't been robbed?

I don't know, just my opinion. I actually feel win/lose or draw, he'll surprise a lot of people against Brook. I personally feel his experience, awkward and slick southpaw style is going to be fits. Not to mention he has shown a very good chin and has underrated power. And considering Brooks best opponent to date is a half decent journeyman level fighter who he went life and death with and barely escaped with the W, yet it seems as if people have almost a dismissive attitude towards fight as if it's easy work for Brook. Really though? Like I said, I'm no fan of Alexander, but I respect him and what he's done, but it doesn't seem as though anyone else is really. Just my two cents, agree or disagree.

Alexander is the betting favorite.

His best win was against Juan Urango, other than that he has looked average against C level opposition. He looked totally lost against Bradley and his lack luster performances afterwards just didn't help elevate his status either. I think he is were he needs to be

I have been saying this for years, yes he is underrated.

Very much so. Now while I used to defend the Kotelnik fight, an argument saying he lost has merit & Mattysse did beat him. But Alexander has 1 of the deepest resumes in boxing, win, lose or draw. I respect his level of opposition. He's a good fighter & I feel he's stronger at welterweight than at 140. I even think he beats ginger at 54.

i think his best win is maidana

There is only one fighter I can genuinely say I am a "hater" of and that's ******* head Antonio Tarver. Alexander is quickly coming in to take his place though. He is the definition of a point fighter, he throws fast but with no power just to act like he's touching you and he fights with a "win now look good tommorow" attitude for EVERY FIGHT. I do credit him for taking on all comer but his actual fighting style leaves a lot to be desired.

His fight against.Randall Bailey was the best fight Ive seen since Jermaine Taylor vs Cory Spinks

[ShoulderRoll]

Alexander has one of the best resumes in the sport. He'll fight anybody.

[PhooLzRUs]

he's easily one of the most boring fighters to come a long in a while.
