Devon Alexander is overrated

[Siggy]

I don't know about that, I've watched Bradley and Devon on the same card live. Bradley looks faster, the only areas I'd give a definite edge to Devon is the power and strength department, Devon is a big WW, not tall, but I was surprised as to how big he was when I was standing next to him.

bradley might have quicker feet, but alexander doesnt use his legs as much as bradley does when bradley decides to box. alexander's footwork is economical and he boxes in sharper angles and tighter circles. my only concern is that with his style he has to be near perfect every time out since he's almost always within a step of punching range.
i thing they have comparable hand speed, but my bet would be on alexander's punch getting there first since he has less arc to his punches. his technique's a bit tighter.

since i give him the edge in power, size, and hand speed, i'd give him the edge overall in terms of natural talent.

not trying to take anything way from bradley, who i still think is the best in the division. i think bradley could be like the prime holyfield of the division.

Devon was winning easily against Urango and KOed him after losing max one or two rounds. Urango is better than anyone Bradley or Khan have faced up til now.

Yep i second that.

He hits harder than Khan and Bradley too

Devon isn't overrated. Most people think Bradley is better. Devon gets a lot of love though because he is the most hungry man in the division which is a great trait. Without fighters who want to fight the best all the time, boxing would be a lot worse.

How so? He's a good fighter near the top of his division and is spoken of as such. And the fact that Bradley, after catching a little of that "most feared" hype, is now not so eager to meet him, it has people talking. Devon isn't a guy I see getting crazy props here, but people respect him. He can be the man at his weight soon.

I know I might get hate for this but he's only really been in 2 fights, against Witter (who has looked like garbage lately) and Urango. Urango was in the fight against Devon and winning on some cards even before the stoppage and he's an average fighter at 140 and slow as a rock.

Devon is a good fighter but people are jumping the gun.

if devon is so overrated then why is bradley ducking him???!!!
