    Not a fan of Devon but he's willing to step up and fight the top guys and I always respect that.

    A fight with Thurman will be a great test for both fighters and will tell us where both of them stand. A fight with Khan would also be an intriguing fight. Hopefully they can make them happen.

      Alexander will get knocked out.

            Respect to Devon Alexander. He's a real fighter.

              I'm not so sure, Alexander is not going to stand in front of him. He'll move and box, and he's faced big punchers before. 50/50 fight, imo.

                Thurman's actually boxer-puncher, he's fought at JMW and has heavy hands, Alexander is a JWW who has moved up and is a light puncher. DA's going to get hurt, book it.

                Ken Porter refuses to put his son in with Thurman unless the winner is guaranteed a shot at Floyd, he was one of Thurman's coaches at am level, Shawn dominated Alexander.

                  I'm not a fan of Alexander and thats mainly due to Cunningham because he's cunt, BUT Devon is and always proves he's game bar the Bradley fight. He fights anyone and everyone, he's fought better opposition than many of the other guys around his age and position in the sport.

                  I think he could make Thurman look rather ordinary with his movement and speed, not saying that he beats him, but he wont make Keith look special at all.

                  I don't see Keith stopping Alexander either, dude has a badass chin!

                    Good fight, and Devon has a real shot in this fight. It would be a good step up for Thurman.

                      Devon's been working on his inside game you could tell. He's still got a ways to go but he showed some new wrinkles in his arsenal against Soto Karrass. If he can get that aspect of his game up to par he will be much more difficult to deal with.
