He just posted it on his Facebook page saying him fighting Roberto is just a rumor....thank god, I have been waiting for some words from him for the longest! I am never paying any attention to who is he going to fight unless he himself announces it.

However I believe we will know the name soon as January closes down and if he is to fight on May 4th, his training camp and promotion should commence at the end of February or maybe even sooner. I think I'll be as surprised as when he announced hes fighting Ortiz. Didn't see that one coming!

Can you think of any other unlikely names that could end up in the mix?

You probably heard right, because Guerrero's body language had been to talk it all up and risk it all (read: negotiate a larger than life, unrealistic-at-this-stage-of-his-career payday.) And there was seriously time consuming negotiations regarding that, during which time - and up till now - Guerrero suddenly went eerily quite...must have been told to so do, to not upset the negotiations. We should hear from Guerrero pretty soon.

By the way, now that one thinks about it, the Mayweather-Guerrero negotiations must have already broken down by the time Mayweather tweeted that the news of him fighting Guerrero was just a rumor, and that he (Mayweather) didn't at that point know who he would fight on May 4th - meaning they were already in negotiations with other fighters for that date. Unfortunately, people don't always believe - some even have the tendency to sneer at - the signal Mayweather gives. But that's part of the fight game, of course.

And now, who else has a belt that at WW Mayweather can fight? I wouldn't expect Mayweather to fight at 154 straight out of jail. Even if he was there for only one day, the mental shock was enough to negatively affect someone whose life especially outside the ring has been around the Big Boy Mansion and clubbing like forever. Call it an excuse, it is what it is.

Therefore, if it is the Alexander fight for May 4th, I won't be surprised.
