Comments Thread For: Mayweather Says Deal To Face Alexander is Nearly Done

[jab2theballs]

This **** better be on Friday Night Fights.

[richardt]

So he's fighting Bradley leftovers??!!! There are no excuses for an ALEXANDER fight to be his 1.5 fights a year!!

[Southpawology]

Well Floyd managed to do one thing...find a fight as bad as Pacquiao-Rios. I didn't think that was possible.

Nah, this is a millions time worse. At least rios would put on a show and give the fans their moneys worth. Alexander is a snooze fest

[El Angel]

It's Alexander's fighting style[IDC about that] and bad decisions against Kotelnyk and Matthysse[I do care about this].

Otherwise at WW they're pretty equal and actually Alexander vs Guerrero would be a 50-50 fight. Bailey>Aydin, Berto>Maidana. So they're pretty equal at 147. It's just not a good look for Floyd because of Alexander's past decisions at 140.

Randall "6 Punches A Round" Bailey is not better than Selcuk Aydin, even when he doesn't know what style he wants to use.

[TRTboy]

He's fighting kotelnik, matthyse and bradley's left over LMAO!!!!!

[Carlos Alberto]

Now millions worldwide get to hear alexander squeal and watch him run around the ring like a fairy. Horrible fight, I can't justify paying 60$ for this unless the undercard is stacked with Canelo vs Trout and Maidana vs Guerrero.

Well that's the big question right there, now isn't it?! Floyd has to agree to face Saul by September in order for him to be on the card. If Floyd doesn't agree, then Saul won't fight on the co-main event. And if that happens, there go plenty of PPV sales!!!

This will go all 12, and Mayweather is past prime.

Matthysse and Urango, who P4P are harder punches than Mayweather at these weights, hit Alexander cleanly with power shots and couldn't stop him. Why would Floyd stop him? Is he some powerful juggernaut all of a sudden?

Matt and Urango don't even belong in the same continent as Mayweather, let alone in the same sentence. Who cares what they did or did not do to Alexander? Mayweather is going to the Hall of Fame, and Alexander is a C Class fighter. Mayweather's ring IQ should be more than enough to find Alexanders weak spots, exploit them and then put him away. Never mind that he is so much bigger than Alexander

[Godsfly]

to me Guerrero is a very weak fighter for floyd. i told everyone that i would go bat **** crazy if that fight happened.......Guerrero is too slow & would be walking in all night getting outclassed.


alexander is a decent fight because he has wins over bailey & maidana @ 147.

i won't pretend like this fight will be entertaining though. should be boring..........

it's the equivalent to pac fighting bradley at 147.

LOL!!! Typical Junior Mayweather; Take The Safest Route To The Bank Possible!!!

This guy has to be the biggest puzzy I have seen in the game of Boxing, for seeking the safest route, no threat to his "Undefeated, Hand Picked" record, so to claim another "belt" if it matters. This is typical Junior for you:

Junior made Mosley & Cotto wait for 10 years to fight, hoping both were too old, slow, had too many wars, and be a much lesser threat, than fight either during their PRIME. He nearly guessed wrong anyway. Mosley nearly had him KO'd in 2, and Cotto had enough in the tank, to turn his fight into a 12 round street fight that left Junior bloodied, looking for his sunglasses.

Junior selected Victor Ortiz just after Marcos Maidana destroyed Ortiz in 8 rounds. Usually Champions select the winner of a fight; Junior chose the loser, who just got severely KO'd.

Junior has made Pacquiao wait more than 4 years, with a host of claims why the fight hasn't happened, claiming he was on the phone to Manny; all Image Control. Pacquiao to dangerous in his prime, and still too dangerous today.

Junior walked away from a $25 million dollar rematch with Oscar Dela Hoya, a fight that most watched, felt Oscar clearly won that fight. Junior got hit more in that fight than ever before; he wanted no part of Oscar again, so much, he walked from $25 million dollars.

Junior has been name dropping Robert Guerrero this Summer, and Canelo Alvarez in September... WHO really thought that would happen? Guerrero is ona hot streak, tough as hell, takes terrific punches, in his prime, IS CALLING OUT JUNIOR HIMSELF... that's too confident, and no way Junior wants to roll the dice with Guerrero. And now he announces as much.

Junior is dreaming if he thinks he has the ballz to fight Canelo, the closest thing we have seen to a young, Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Hell, Junior Mayweather wouldn't even fight Sergio Martinez!!! Why then would he want to get hunted down by Canelo, who will take away your heart, shatter any will you have, then knock you out with either hand...a motor that never tires, and keeps coming. NO WAY, Junior will ever get in the ring with Canelo.

SO... all those things considered, Junior finds a guy laying in the weeds with a title, a guy that was afraid to throw punches with Tim Bradley, so that seems like a low risk opponent for Junior. ONCE again... take the LOSER, Junior. Rather than fight Tim Bradley, who has the belt handed to him, from the fix from Pacquiao, you hand pick the guy who looked scared and lost to Bradley... YOU TAKE DEVON ALEXANDER, who doesn't sell tickets. Damn are you ever gutless, and you don't care. It's about the trip to the bank, and the ability to point to your ZERO in the loss column. You certainly will never be considered Legend material, like Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Arguello, Chavez Sr, or even Dela Hoya or Mosley. Those guys always fought the best of the best, IN THEIR PRIME, multiple times, win, lose, or draw.

He played this game with fans letting us believe he was ready to challenge Guerrero first then Canelo in September. Of course he's not fighting Guerrero; he's taking a soft fight... Devon Alexander. Don't be naive to believe he'll ever get in the ring with Canelo; that will NEVER happen. And Pacquiao is still too much of a risk, and that fight will never happen. What a disgusting example of a supposed champion. Junior Mayweather needs to grow a set.

[Weebler I]

robbed kotelnik, quit against bradley, robbed matthysse, stunk out maidana and bailey. good on paper but this guy is a flop. he's been in 5 terrible fights in a row. how is mayweather gonna sell this?

He fought them though. Who else willing to get in there with a prime Bradley, prime Matthysse, prime Maidana, Urango, Brook etc?

Don't get me wrong, Alexander wouldn't be my choice but beyond beating a Turk who lost to Karass and Berto Guerrero has nothing resume-wise on Alexander above 135.
