?Alexander is, of course, entitled to his own opinion. I am, too. Mine is that Devon Alexander is an idiot.??Scott Christ (BLH)

As most Americans know by now, the Supreme Court of the United States of America has ruled in favor of same-sex marriage across the country. But anti-gay hate is alive and well?even in the boxing community.
Former junior welterweight and welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander (26-3) went to the always dangerous Twitter to voice his gay-bashing views and then?doubling down on his ignorance?expressed surprise that he didn?t know that many people used Twitter by writing, ?I never knew it was so many of you people here.?
The following are some of his other rants as reported on Bad Left Hook and RAPPLER:
?So you have told Americans that they can marry there [sic] same sex. So basically we are facing extinction. Say for instance that everyone in the world was gay. How the hell can the human race survive if nobody is producing. This is not about judging it?s about forcing someone to accept something that not even supposed to happen. You gave men the right all over the place to penetrate one another.?
?Only a vagina, when it is stretched can tighten back up. But when your anus is stretched out you are destroyed. Shows how unnatural it is.?
?Adam and Eve was suppose to be with another woman?
Alexander, 28, is no longer the compelling fighter he once was. This unwise Twitter tirade could well anchor his already faltering career. He has lost two of his last three fights. There?s no changing what he said; the damage has been done.
Perhaps Devon?s most prophetic rant was when he tweeted:
?This is the beginning of the end.?
