    if there isn't a chance floyd can get ktfo they don't want to see the fight.
    The fight is garbage from any angle you look at it. It would be nice if he didnt pitty pat tho, maybe he would catch floyd, but even that is out the window

        Cotto fought Marg 2X, Pac, Foreman, Mayorga, clottey and jennings

        And he didnt lose to guys like Kotelnik
        Matthysse and Bradley would beat Guerrero and Ortiz and possibly Mosley. So Devon gets penalized for fighting tougher fights?

        Maidana made Ortiz quit

Saw the mattysse fight and Alexander won more rounds, same as his lose to Judah. Mattyssee has only beat like two ranked guys hell canelo only beat one. At least Garcia and Alexander are young accomplished been in several title fights and stand a chance. Canelo and mattyssee are tailor made for Mayweather


          I'm sure he did. That fight may just well be the worst decision ever in a 10 round fight.
          There was only 1 swing round in the fight. Lucas clearly won that 96-93 at the closest in Alexanders favour.
          You couldn't even make a case for Alexander getting a draw let alone winning.

            They were also both very mediocre fighters, Ortiz looked like crap forever, beats boxings biggest hype job and gets the fight

            Guerrero fought and beat fringe contenders Aydin, and Berto and also gets the fight. The only reason they were considered "good" fights is because the other 4 best fighters in the division were with TR

                alexander quit against bradley.. but then mayweather fought another quitter in ortiz.. i'd prefer to see alexander vs khan (a fighter with too much heart to ever quit)..

                mayweather would probably make alexander quit again.. it's possible even khan might make him quit.. we'll see how it goes.. i expect khan vs alexander to happen.. alexander has no fans so he brings nothing to the table from a money perspective either..

                  But they got the Floyd fight. Devon is more qualified than both and should also get it

                    Yea, so? That would be a good point if devon actually beat them

                    Why is that concept so hard to understand, Its not who you face, its who you beat. Otherwise Floyd should be fighting Erik morales, or Corley.

                      Guerrero could possibly go through Devons resume undefeated believe it or not, Ortiz usually beats himself in fights and when he beat Berto he was coming off the hype of him finally becoming the fighter most people expected him to be.

                      Devon i repeat has 1 loss and 2 gifts in his past 7 fights and literally has not one advantage against Floyd, at least the other 2 you just named had a punchers chance.
