    "I've been talking to Floyd just about every day if not two, three times a week," King told Satterfield. "I spoke to Floyd a couple of days ago just before I went to Puerto Rico. He was going to a workout to see Devon work out in Las Vegas. I haven't called him since them, but he knows. That's another one for him.

    "We would entertain a fight with King Kong (Mayweather) after beating Tim Bradley if Devon Alexander does as I believe that he will do."

    I would be stunned this would happen. Alexander and Mayweather are apparently pretty good friends. But its a no lose situation for Alexander should the fight happen. Nobody is going to knock him for losing to an future HOF fighter. But I don't see how this fight makes sense for Mayweather, it won't be for a strap. I don't expect it to make much money. and if Mayweather wins the fight and Alexander doesn't do **** for the rest of his career, it will be at best on his resume like the Jesus Chavez fight(the SF one).

    Do not want to see this ****. If you're going to fight a young guy, fight Amir. Mayweather-Amir has international appeal and excitment.

    That would be a terrible management decision by Alexander's team. Devon is not ready for Floyd and should stick to fighting at 140. Even if he was ready, Floyd would beat any version of Devon easily. Floyd's on another level and it's ashame he doesn't fight more I don't want ring rust to devour him.

    Not just him but for Floyd too. Cotto, emmanuel, Amir, and Martinez all would bring in greater revenue.

    Floyd kocks him out easily, if kotelnik beat him with counterpunching floyd at 147 knocks him out, 100%.

    If Mayweather steps in that ring and its not Pacquiao then he's getting a backlash !!!!

    That aside , if Devon beats Bradley , why is this fight not credible ??? !!! , i think it is , but **** Mayweather Alexander i like every other fan on this planet want Mayweather Pacquiao ........................

    Mayweather-Berto if Floyd fights a younger guy...best fight out there for Floyd against a younger fighter around his weight.

    Floyd should fight Cotto for a tuneup if he needs one. Whoop emmanuel's AZZ next. Then use Amir as a goodbye fight.

    This is if he ever boxes again.

    No one wants to see Mayweather-Devon. Other guys are bigger draws anyways.
