Devon Alexander may not be popular he deserves a shot at May..has best chance winning

I watch that Matthyse-Alexander fight over today and to be honest I thought Matthyse won the first time I seen it but this second viewing, I believe Alexander got enough rounds to pull out the win at least a point.

That would help. But if Floyd wants to stay at 147. Who is in line? Pacquiao and Bradley would be great fights but the business of boxing won't let us see that.

And I don't agree with fattening up a JWW who's never been at the weight, especially on short notice.

Of course I would like Canelo in September. If not, then let Floyd fight Alexander, Garcia fight Matthysse, Canelo fight a ranked contender and he can fight the winners of those other fights next year.

Or take the Canelo fight now and fight Khan/Alexander and Garcia/Matthysse next year.

Any of those options are legit, IMO.

If Manny comes back and wins, I see a better chance of it happening in the future.

Floyd can take on a 154lbs fighter. If you think Alexander presents a style that is different than what Floyd has been with then how about Lara if he beats Angulo?


EDIT: Missed this line ....
"And I don't agree with fattening up a JWW who's never been at the weight, especially on short notice."

Well the above is Floyd's staple of late ... get a guy with few or no fights at WW. So I agree .... not good! I always criticized that move especially when there were good quality WWs!

I'd prefer Lara over Devon but just don't think its realistic so I don't bring it up.

This thread is pretty funny. A few months ago everyone laughed their heads off at the mention of this possible sham, even the floms winced at the thought, preceding to accuse people of hating floyd because he would never make a fight like that(whilst attempting to justify an almost as big turkey, in the RG fight). And now just look at them!

I said this would happen, but apparently I was 'juz hatin'.

Wow what a joke, Guerrero and now Alexander are legit fights? Is it that impressive to beat fringe contenders after losing 3 str8 fights?

Thurman has done more then Alexander and has looked better too

at 147 (floyds division) yes they arelegit fights what do u want him to do? unless he moves up these are ranked opponents in his weight class

You mean when you suddenly realised Devon could be a potential Floyd opponent?

A fight with Devon Alexander is almost as pointless as a fight with Guerrero. There's just no sexiness in the match up. I mean say it out loud ''Mayweather v Alexander'', whilst thinking of the individual involved. We know that Floyd would beat the breaks off of Alexander, he lacks the tools to get the job done, and he lacks the mental strength needed to compete over 12 rounds. He'd give up by the sixth round.

Regarding Alexander and Mattysse. Styles make fights/things interesting. I thought Alexander v Matthysse was a close fight that people say but I'd rather see the later fight Floyd. I think Floyd would make Matthysse look like a fool, but his power would make things interesting on paper.

It is what it is.
