Bradley-Alexander: These dudes need to fight already

By Chris Williams: I’ve lost interest in watching Devon Alexander vs. Timothy Bradley a long time ago. With all their bickering over contracts and with this and that. It’s so boring and I don’t even care which one of these guys wins the fight. For a while, I thought Bradley was the best fighter in the light welterweight division, but I thinks he’s been surpassed by Victor Ortiz. Bradley has wasted too much time fighting nobodies and now Ortiz has slide on up and is probably the best guy in a weak division.

Bradley and Alexander are supposedly fighting on January 29th next year in 2011. I don’t even care. The fight is like seven months too late. They should have fought ages ago, and in stretching it out until 2011, I’m no longer interested in seeing this.

WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan is probably the 7th or 8th best fighter in the division, but he can be taken by anyone at any time, so you can’t really count on him as being one of the top guys. At only 5’6”, Bradley is too small to beat guys like Ortiz and Marcos Maidana.

Heck, Bradley barely beat an old Junior Witter. That pretty much tells you what Bradley is all about. And Alexander should have lost his last fight to Andriy Kotelnik. He may have won that fight, but I have it as a mental loss in my mind. Their fight is like consolation bracket as far as I’m concerned. Neither of these dudes have exciting styles.

There’s no drama with them. Both of them bore me to tears. At least with Maidana, you can count on him going all out and either getting knocked down or knocking his opponents down. He may not have the best boxing skills, but I see him as much interesting than Alexander and Bradley.
