DEVON ALEXANDER: FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS SCARED OF BLACK FIGHTERS, ONLY FIGHTS OPPONENTS WHO FIGHT IN SLOW, DUMB MEXICAN STYLE Former 2 division World Champion Devon Alexander (26-2, 14KOs) has a big, high stakes fight ahead of him; when he takes on former Unified WBA/IBF/WBA Super World Junior Welterweight Champion Of The World Amir Khan (29-3, 19KOs) at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on December 13th. The winner of Khan-Alexander will become a frontrunner to take on pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather (47-0, 26KOs) in May. At one point in early 2013, Mayweather mentioned Alexander as a possible opponent. There were never any serious discussions, with Mayweather using Alexanders name as a swerve - because Mayweather had already finalized a fight with Robert Guerrero. Khan has also been linked to a fight with Mayweather for several years now. Alexander believes Mayweather is avoiding black opponents, because he has trouble with their styles. He points to Mayweathers issues against DeMarcus Corley, Shane Mosley and Zab Judah. He says Mayweather prefers to face Mexican opponents, or those who fight in a Mexican style, who dont use their feet or use a calculated boxing strategy, and instead place their focus on taking Mayweathers head off. For me personally, Floyd looks at a fighter who is going to pose the least threat to him. Every black that Floyd has faced, has given him some type of trouble. said Alexander. I think every black fighter is going to make him think in there. I dont think he wants to think anymore. I think he wants to know what hes going to get when he gets in there, he dont want no surprises. Zab was handling him with the jab and hurt him to the head, Shane hurt him, you got Chop Chop who hurt him. All of the black fighters that he fought, did something to make Floyd say oh man, I dont want to fight anymore black fighters. Thats what I see. He is used to those slow Mexican opponents or who fight in a dumb Mexican style, who are not going to move around and use their skills in the rings.
