IMO, he lost to Kotelnik, quit vs Bradley, Definatly lost to Matthysse. Won his ww title vs Bailey in a disgustingly boring fight cuz of his hit and hold style. Got worked by Porter. Those are my reasons.

Why is Devon Alexander such an under rated fighter?

He is still 27, don't forget.

It's partly because he quit in the Bradley fight that people were put off by Alexander.. he is a good fighter though, first time I saw him I thought he was world class against an old Junior Witter, then he went and KOd Urango and it reinforced how good he was, but the Kotelnik fight followed which was a difficult fight for him, then he quits against Bradley and it looked like he might be on the decline.. but he has come back with some good wins since then so he is definitely still a tough opponent for anyone

All these Khan fans talking **** about Alexander are now going to hype him up and pretend he beat Matthysse and Kotelnik.

He's pretty average and he makes hideous noises when he punches making him almost unwatchable. Kotelnik shut him out and he still got the nod, He also should never have been the decision against Matthyse, then there was 'It burns' against Bradley.
HE certainly has talent though, but seems to shrivel up on the bigger occasions or when he's put under pressure.

Btw I for one don't think Devon is that great a choice for Khan. The risk/reward ratio is not that good. If Khan wins, people will be like whatever, Devon su.cks, exposed bum Porter kicked his ass etc. If Khan loses... his days as a world class boxer are over.
I would have preferred him to fight Guerrero instead. Same reward, less risk (more durable but slower and probably less powerful).
