He fought them though. Who else willing to get in there with a prime Bradley, prime Matthysse, prime Maidana, Urango, Brook etc?
Don't get me wrong, Alexander wouldn't be my choice but beyond beating a Turk who lost to Karass and Berto Guerrero has nothing resume-wise on Alexander above 135.
I pretty much agree. However Alexander is still getting flack over Bradley, Kotelnik, Matthysse (who's the man of the moment) and his style is not ppv friendly. Guerrero is getting extra fan love for taking 2 very risky fights (for him, not for a top level welter) and showing lots of heart and some kinks vs Berto.
Jesus Soto Karass was giving Maidana hell at WW and Bailey just prays he lands a bomb out of the 6 he throws a round. I'd pick Berto to beat both of them and I hate Berto.
But Alexander/Guerrero is a 50-50 fight in itself.
But I'd still rather see Guerrero. To me, Guerrero is a solid win for him, nothing major or great....but solid. Alexander is the level a Judah win, a decent one. Nothing more.
I still can't imagine this. S**t, they should have just waited for Alexander/Brook and fought the winner then.

In his last three fights Berto got UD'd by Ortiz (JWW stepping up), was getting outboxed by the Slovenian Zaveck, and lost to a LW stepping up in Guerrero. I wouldn't pick him to pick his nose.
Pac-Rios ****s all over this fight, this fight would be like the little turd at the bottom of the toilet bowl that keeps floating back up even after you flush over and over.
Pacquiao-Rios is better action wise because he'd actually try to win, but Alexander could quit twice and still would probably perform better against Floyd than Rios would against Manny.
But seriously, this like the Judah fight, only with less talent and slightly better boxing skills. I'm not saying Guerrero is any better because he's not, but **** at least he has a win over the only name in the division outside of the three heard monster. Devon beat...Maidana.
tldr, and like someone else said, this is basically like bradley vs Pac
This is nothing like Bradley and Pac
For one, they have a styles mesh, one is a boxer and the other is a fighter. It wasn't exciting, but their styles go together.
In this instance, these dudes have a styles clash. Two boxers who don't press the action forward and wait for counter opportunities. So now you'll have Alexander playing a role he usually doesn't making inane and weird sputtering noises with every lame jab he throws.
Oh, and at least Bradley beat that C-Class bum in Alexander. Alexander beat Bailey...derp
