Devon Alexander wants fight with Pacquiao – News
By Jason Kim: Unbeaten WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KO’s) is hoping he can get lucky and win the lottery to get a big mega money fight against Manny Pacquiao in the near future, according to boxing news from the Saint Louis Post Dispatch. Alexander, 23, first much beat WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in their fight on January 29th at the Chaifetz Arena, in Saint Louis, Missouri. However, even if Alexander beats Bradley, which is doubtful given how average Alexander looked in his recent fight against Andriy Kotelnik, Alexander will then likely have to face the winner of the Marcos Maidana vs. Amir Khan fight which takes place next month.

Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander fight for WBO light welterweight title on 1/29
By Chris Williams: The January 29th fight between World Boxing Organization (WBO) light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) and WBC light welterweight champion Devon Alexander (21-0, 13 KO’s) will only have Bradley’s WBO title on the line for the fight, according to World Boxing News . Net. It seems that Bradley doesn’t want to pay the sanctioning fees for the WBC title to be on the line. It hardly matters if the fight won’t be a unification title, because it’s clear that these are two of the better fighters in the light welterweight division and having another strap on the line or not on the line in this case doesn’t matter one bit to the average fan.

WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan is facing Marcos Maidana on December 11th, and the winner of that fight is going to be facing the winner of Alexander vs. Bradley.
No Dirrell vs. Ward, America gets Alexander vs. Bradley: Who will carry the torch for USA boxing?
By Ronald Peter: After Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward’s (22-0 13 KO) 2 dominating performances in the Super 6 tournament over Kessler and Green it became obvious that it will be up to him to carry America’s boxing future for the next decade.

Khan says Maidana will be tougher than Bradley and Alexander
By Sean McDaniel: It wasn’t easy for Marcos Maidana (29-1, 27 KO’s) to get a fight with World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KO’s). Maidana pursued Khan for the past year before finally getting his shot against the British fighter. Khan, in an article at the Manchester Evening News, says “I did not duck this. I’ve wanted this fight for a long time but he [Maidana] asked for stupid money. He wanted three times more than he got in his last fight. In the end, we said, ‘If you want that much, we will give you it, but it’s got to be in the UK.’ The problems was, if it went to purse bids the U.S would win, so I said, ‘I’ll fight you anywhere.’ After him, I want [Timothy] Bradley or [Devon] Alexander, but I think Maidana will be tougher than either of them.”

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.
