    He was very very good but I think he’s got neurological damage.

    Some fighters can fight for year after year and seem unaffected but other fighters like Alexander get damaged and are finished quite young.

    The Alexander that nearly whitewashed Maidana is long gone.

      Retire.

      I'm one of the first to defend fighters in their 30s and 40s lately but you've nailed it here.

      Devon was boring and just another boxer HBO tried to force feed down fans throats. Same reason I largely don't like Canelo, don't force fighters down fans throats. Natural stars will rise naturally, manufactured hype jobs will get disdain from me.

      I wish him the best but I'll miss his fights, I thank him for allowing me to discover / jump on the Bradley Tribe war wagon back in the day, but similar to Ward, I don't care to watch Devon fight. Just not appealing.

            He was robbed in the Ortiz and Berto fights. He;s really 3 - 1 in his last 4. He can fight lipinets, ennis, ortiz, or Ugas. If it doesn't go well he should retire

              I agree, but he did gas badly in both fights.

                3 fight deal with PBC. Probably an Uber driver, Ortiz Rematch, then sacrifice to Boots Ennis

                    Devon probably going to that Impact Network or something with Austin Trout I doubt any of the Major Promotions gave him a 3 Fight Deal at this point in his career

                      I guess respect to him on getting a few more checks in boxing, but he seems done at the top level of the sport.

                      If he's not looking to do some gatekeeping idk who I wanna see him fight really. I've never been much of a Devon fan doe. I suppose he could become some sorta poor & less entertaining mans Mayorga & fight name guys after a L when they are looking to restart a win streak but honestly idk how viable that is since he's not very popular, fun to watch or at the top of his game anymore. I suspect he'll be forced into a gatekeeper role even if he seems opposed to it currently.
