fight is not likely to happen for quite a while.
Alexander likes to fight in St. Louis, where the Kotelnik and Matthyse fights tell us you have to KO his ass to win.
Brook would have to bring his own judges to win.
Alexander wouldn't come to the UK for the fight.
Brooks should take the chance to fight Alexander in the US, I am convinced he would beat him quite easily.
Maybe Devon Alexander is a better welterweight than he was a junior welterweight. If that is the case, let's not rule out that he could be a force in the welterweight division, whether you like his holding style of boxing or not. As he's just signed with Al Haymon, I'm certain he won't be put in the ring with Brooks level competition anytime soon, although I'd love to be proved wrong.
What happened to Finito's favorite middleweight, Kid Chocolate? Signed with Haymon and now is fighting a former Paul Williams (also managed by Haymon) victim (3 years ago too), Winky Wright, on Showtime. Haymon is doing his job.
Yup, it's all been covered now. Even aside from promotion etc., I don't think Alexander has all that much faith in his own ability. To me that's why he held so much against Maidana in part. Before that was quitting against Bradley because of a small cut in a fight where he was never really hurt etc. Despite this, he does have a bit of a name and now is working with a major promoter. All signs point to no way in hell this happens.
Why does he keep calling out Light Welterweights?:confused:
No fighter should call out someone from the weight class below IMO.
I know Bradley is stepping up to face Pacquiao, but he hasn't won that fight yet, so who knows what the future holds.
I hope Kell kills Alexander in the ring. The stupid crap that Alexander pulled during the Maidana fight made me enraged.
That is a ridiculous statement and you should be banned for making it.Quote:

No, you're right. That'd be a bit harsh. All the same, Devon Alexander ought to be ashamed for the way he fought that night. Boring ass fight. Can't wait till he gets somebody more skilled than Maidana to brutally knock his girly ass out.Quote:
