Comments Thread For: Cunningham: Alexander Broke Left Hand in First Round

[Bigg Rigg]

Alexander is so boring. Even in a fight that he's beating the guy up. Lol

[turnedup]

Why would that be a cherry pick? He's a champion in two weight classes. And realistically, who do you want him to fight? Keep in mind, Floyd walks around at the same weight as lightweights. He's really a 135-pounder, 140 max.

Floyd walks around at 135/140 lmao...in what galaxy? Malignaggi is a two division champion too..would you pay $70 to watch Floyd fight Paulie? Nope..then why in the hell would you pay $70 to watch him fight Alexander? That's a next day youtube it fight in my opinion...and predictable how it'll turn out as well. All I see is folks these days trying to distance Floyd from 150's as much as possible with ludicrous weight claims.

Who gives a **** about PPV? It's a sport and the best fighters in the division should fight each other whether its $1 or $100. If 800,000-1 million people are willing to pay money for it...so be it. Nobody thought Hurtado or Rivera would give Whitaker trouble but both took him to deep waters. Fights should be made because of who earned them, not because of who has the best style that you believe can trouble somebody.

If Khan/Alexander/Thurman or whichever welterweight separates themselves from the pack, than yes, he should earn the opportunity to unify his titles and get a crack at the #1 guy in the division.

I'm amazed by this UK style defense where the fighter puts his arms and hands in front of him like he's about to be in a car accident and stands there and does nothing while the opposing fighter wings shots at him all night and eventually ****s his hands up, we saw purdy doing it last night, Murray utilized it against martinez , Ricky burns even pulled it off against chelo. The only guy who doesn't do it is amir khan and his chin is like a blast furnace.

Ha! Eurobots!

The Brits are not the only ones, but yea.

Barker did it against Martinez too, and got his ear hole busted. He started having flashbacks, panicked, and stopped the fight. lol!

Who cares about PPV? All the mofo's around here with their he's got 7 fights over 1 million buys..none of the names you mentioned are worthy of the event sorry to say it but it's the damned truth..I've liked those boxers at one point or another but none of them in my opinion are a competitive matchup. Thurman would just get tapped to the face to death all night...Alexander and Khan would be interesting for about 3 rounds and turn into guerrero 2.0. If those three guys are #1 at 147 then boxing is in a really really bad place.

It's amazing at how one can manage to put so many excuses in so few sentences? lol

If Floyd is a natural 135 then why fight Marquez at 146? Why did he not even make the contracted weight of 144? The reason that Floyd doesn't balloon up like the others is that he is a gym rat and keeps himself in shape.

LOL...Uh..Yes they are PPV worthy because they are fighting Floyd who can do 800,000 to 1 million buys against any of them. If that many people are willing to dish out $70 for it, then yes its PPV worthy.

PPV worthy has nothing to do with the competitiveness of the fights. The highest grossing events are:

Lewis/Past prime Tyson
Mayweather/Past prime De La Hoya

Tyson was selling PPVs against guys like Peter McNeeley. All of those fights were PPV worthy not because they were competitive fights, but because one of the fighters in the mix was a crossover star.

if hes out then broner vs khan please

So pretty much what you are saying is that because it's Floyd fighting automatically it's worthy of $70..really..interesting. I guess we can put him in there against Gavin Rees as well and you'd buy that lol. The De La Hoya fight I can understand because he was a ppv juggernaut regardless but you want to compare DLH's star power to that of Alexander,Khan, Thurman? Combined they don't have DLH's fanbase even today. That fight was piting one assured half of famer against another..you can say with assurance devon, amir, or keith can be considered the same caliber at any point of their careers to either man? Me..I pay for things of value where there is some suspense...some actual challenge. A ton of folks have come and gone at 147 who never got their shot and could beat each man you mentioned. Hell i'd rather watch him fight JMM again rather than any of those 3 you have in mind. We watched Tyson because of his brutality and to see an execution..because of his knack for knocking people out..when that dried up what was left? Not much.

He's back in plenty of time for Khan. Khan won't be fighting until December.
