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

[Gary Coleman]

Alexander was literally boo'ed out of the ring after Bailey...

Guerrero is definitely more of a threat than Alexander.

This is priceless. Lol

You're splitting hairs. Neither is a threat to Mayweather, in all reality.

I'll say this, Alexander would beat Guerrero if they ever met.

tldr, and like someone else said, this is basically like bradley vs Pac

what are you talking about. Bradley completely dominated Alexander and was undefeated before he fought Pac.

How is Floyd vs Alexander anything like Bradley vs Pac?

One thing we can learn from this, no one cares about Mayweather's next fight.

Not like we've had threads all day off a statement of who is the front runner for his next fight.

Since moving up to 140 how many of Floyds opponents have been better than Alexander? I only have Cotto, Hatton and DLH.

I'd pick Marquez and Ortiz to beat him.

Damn, a lot of people are jumping the gun before there has been an official statement from both parties. Slow down.

If Robert is out of the picture it's because he has priced himself out. Mayweather wouldn't pick Devon over Robert. Business-wise it just wouldn't make sense and you already know that Floyd is "about that dollar".

So, calm down and see how this one plays out. Alexander has a signed contract to fight Brook and right now that fight is on hold because of an injury. That's the only FACT in this chapter so far. Stick to it.

I'd pick Marquez and Ortiz to beat him.

If Ortiz could KO him early maybe. If it goes rounds Ortiz girls up. I did forget about Marquez though.

People can settle down now. He isn't doing a Cinco de Mayo PPV without GBP.

Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer, who has promoted all of Mayweather's bouts since 2007 even though the company does not have a long-term deal with him and works with him on a fight-by-fight basis, said many times in recent months that he was working on Mayweather's next fight and often cited Guerrero -- a Golden Boy fighter -- as a strong possibility.

Schaefer, who also promotes Alexander, was taken by surprise by Mayweather's comment.

"[The comment] came from Mayweather and not me, so I cannot comment on it," Schaefer told ESPN.com. "Last I checked I was working on rescheduling the [Alexander-Brook] fight."

Mayweather's adviser is Al Haymon, who also works with Alexander and Cunningham.

Asked whether perhaps Haymon was working on a Mayweather-Alexander deal without telling him, Schaefer said, "I doubt that Al would mislead me regarding Alexander's plans.

"I am telling you that I am working on identifying a replacement date for Alexander versus Brook. I can only inform you on stuff I am working on. What Floyd says is up to Floyd or [adviser] Leonard [Ellerbe] to comment on."

Alexander is probably the most surprised man on the planet. "Who, me? It must be a mistake. I'm a nobody. I've got seven fans only."

this is a tragedy if this fight actually gets made....alexander is even MORE BORING than mayweather, and I HATE his fight style, its just jabs and straights with no mustard on em...just piddy paddy punches that are god awful to watch

I hope alexander gets knocked out, at least guerrero would make things interesting and take the fight to mayweather, no alexander is gonna sit back and try to box Floyd with his inferior skills, tack another win for Floyd, prolly gonna win every rd.

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

Name a win on Aydin's resume that is better than Mike Jones. And how about Bailey being WBO champion at 140[2000] and IBF champion at 147[2012]?

Aydin neither has one good win, or been champion anywhere, and he just lost to Soto Karras.
