Errol Spence in particular has been very avoided at 147, or at least that's the perception. Would you take a fight with him going forward?

D. Alexander
Oh absolutely, absolutely. It just depends on what my coach and my team want for me. I'd love to get in there with Errol Spence. I'd love to get in there with Keith Thurman. It depends who's available at that particular time. A lot of people they like to pick the easiest opponent nowadays so we'll just have to see when we cross that road. What I'm focusing on is Andre Berto and getting the job done August 4.
 
Andre Berto is nearly a 2 to 1 underdog vs Devon Alexander. Not sure that is justified at this point. Alexander looked pretty mediocre against Ortiz in that recent majority draw. I think this could be competitive or go either way.
 
i always tell JLeon he looks like devon alexander. i wonder if they will be confused for each other
