Add welterweight beltholder
Devon Alexander to the list of possible opponents for the coveted May 4 date with
Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Another welterweight beltholder, Robert Guerrero, was thought to be the favorite for the big payday ... until Mayweather tweeted "The negotiations for my fight are almost done. The front runner is IBF Champion Devon Alexander".
Alexander may, in fact, get the shot. Or Mayweather could simply be bluffing to get Guerrero to accept a small we purse. Either way, Mayweather, who turns 36 later this month, will have been out of the ring for an entire year when he steps into the ring in May. Will he begin to show his age? Or ring rust? Unlikely, but you never know...
