I agree with Daxx there are some glaring holes in his defense, but someone is going to have to have very fast hands and feet to fully capitalize on those holes.
    Someone like Timothy Bradley.

    I think it's even possible Judah could have some success against Alexander. I know, I know, he falls apart every fight. But his body is definately more suited to 140, save the perfectly time Tszyu chicken-dance-inducing punch Zab has always looked better at 140.

    Bradley/Alexander would be a great fight, but there's no saying now if it's in the future.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    judah takes alexander in my honest opinion if he`s still got it left in the tank. Not too sure about bradley though think he may struggle with bradleys power as he did against cotto.

    Bradley is not that big of a puncher...He just is always there and his defense is is good as well so hard to break him down.....But then again not being able to hurt or shake a guy no matter what you do is exactly the type thing that would cause Judah to meltdown.....

    As for Alexander with his defense as it is and Judah having still good speed he would get caught often and at 140 Judah was a decent puncher

    He seemed to deal with Witters speed just fine. Who is in the elite level of athletes in terms of hand and footspeed. Apparently Bradley didn't want to fight Alexander after his fight with Witter.

    A great fight that was on Saturday night. I am sorry for the earlier post I made of this being a joke of a fight and HBO picked up is in worse.But damn that was some performance by Alexander. He showed me one of two thing's he can box which I wasn't completely convinced after his fight with Witter and two he can punch. This is a very dangerous fighter and I think he will unify the titles and take Bradley to school.Well done Alexander.

    Probably because of the lack of money involved... Even at this point sadly a fight between the two doesn't make that much sense. Bradley is on the verge of huge if it were for a huge scalp.

    The short answer would of been 'High Risk, Low Reward' but there you go

    Agreed...I don't see Bradley avoiding anyone for other then financial reasons...
