devon calls thurman out

[Nicolino]

I like Thurman and i would be rooting for him if the fight ever happen but Devon style would give him problems. Thurman can punch but i think he can't do what Porter did, he doesn't have the stamina to outwork Devon, who btw has a great chin.

[Butt stuff]

Props to Devon, mans got if not the best one of the best chins at 147 and I think with that confidence he can go in there willing to brawl with Thurman who as of yet when he gets clocked panics for dear life and doesn't know what to do.

I dunno man, he took a pretty heavy hit from Karass and came back and hurt him in the same round. A bit of bravado but he didnt seem panicked. Plus when he was getting pressed by Diaz with lots of heavy punches he was fighting really well with counters moving backwards. These obviously aren't elite fighters though so I really can't wait to see what the top fighters bring out of him.

alexander fights all the big punchers ....just look at his resume....its packed with big hitters

credit to him

Well with the chin he has, why not fight the biggest punchers and outbox them?

All these wannabes want to fight bums and get paid too dollar for it. They want to fight bums and then hopefully get to ppv

I know Alexander will fight anyone. However, the most protected fighter in and around the welterweight division, Keith Thurman, will fight another bum that no one has ever heard of in his next fight just as Guerrero and Garcia did in their last fights.

How is he protected? Devon is the only top 10 guy at 147 who has said he's willing to fight Thurman.

Maidana pulled out of a fight with Thurman, Porter's dad said he doesn't want it yet, Guerrero has made numerous excuses, Pauli didn't want it.

So how exactly is he protected you ? Guys are publicly saying they don't want to fight him...

He wants that Interim belt to get to Floyd

I'd favor Devon.

Sure you are gonna look like a young George Foreman against the guys Thurman has been fighting.

Alexander probably has the most proven chin from 140-147 and has fought arguably the most touted punchers without being stopped, and in most cases dropped.

Wins over big punchers Maidana, Matthyssee, Bailey, Urango

Devon has one of the best resumes between 140 and 147 and would be a huge step up for Thurman.

Keith has decent fundamentals but he punches wide and his defense isn't impregnable. If Alexander came in with the right game plan he could possibly outclass Thurman who banks on blasting guys out. With Alexander's movement, speed, counters, and beard, I'd favor him over Thurman. Thurman is a puncher and aggressive but he isn't rough like Porter, Bradley, or even Karass, he needs a little space to land his shots and a fight at mid range favors Alexander.

I don't like Alexander but he can make me a fan talking like this. Good **** dood, show these fools what being a real boxer is all about.

Don't know about that. I've yet to see Thurman gas out or get tired in anyway.

Thurman actually has pretty good defense, especially with slip ins.

I really don't know what Devon has to truly trouble Thurman. Sure, I give him the edge in speed but Thurman has decent hand speed too so he'll likely catch Devon. The next part after that is how well Devon would take it? After all, this will be against one of the hardest hitters in the division. One punch could make a big difference.

I also notice Devon tends to lose it mentally. In the Bradley and Porter fights, you can tell he really seemed like he was in a panic and wanted to give up (in which he clearly did against Bradley). Against Soto Karass, despite winning, it almost seemed like Devon still started panicking because Soto Karass just kept on coming forward. If he's not mentally prepared for when he faces Thurman, he's going to lose it the moment he gets hit.
