    Interesting.

    I, too, felt that Williams would have caused him alot of problems and i actually picked Williams to win the fight. Paul only ever struggled against slick southpaws with accurate, fast straight left hands. Against orthodox fighters he was never really troubled, and Canelo's low punch output wouldn't have coped well with 100+ punches a round coming back at him imo.

    Next year, women's flyweight title unification.

    Lara and Martirosyan have business to take care of. The winner is supposed to get a shot at Canelo. Unless GBP comes up with some terrific excuse.

    That'd be absolutely perfect.

    Alvarez vs some welterweight
    Cotto vs Trout

    Alvarez wins by impressive stoppage, Cotto comes through a tough fight against a good, undefeated opponent, and they fight each other on Cinco De Mayo on HBO PPV in a sold out MSG. Mexicans and Ricans going insane!

    We can dream!

    Martirosyan is a ****ing joke. That man can **** right off.

    He won't enter the ring against Lara, he's too content to sit on twitter bitching about not getting a chance and when he gets offered one, he turns it down. Absolute clown.

    I think thats the way its being portrayed by Schaefer but where does Floyd fall in ?, if he wants a fight before then (as he probably will) GB will jump on Mayweather Alvarez, which ruins the above format

    If he doesn't, then above is exactly the way i see it unfolding, which brings into question Canelo's next opponent, Victor Ortiz ? id say theres a decent chance of it myself

    Plus, Cotto's reliability is becoming difficult to predict as well, he is in the middle of GB and TR and will take the best offer at that time !, maybe the one thing going for the potential Alvarez vs Cotto fight is that Cotto has expressed interest in Canelo :D

    He won't fight Canelo, who really should be getting a shot as someone's title. I'd be happy to see him fight Carlos Molina, or Gabriel Rosado.

    I dont think the WBC will do anything Canelo doesnt want to do, Canelo Lara will not happen until Lara is a draw

    Floyd has came out and said he isn't thinking of fighting at the moment, but with him you never know!

    Ortiz vs Alvarez on the same card as Cotto vs Trout would be awesome, but i'm not sure there's enough money to go around for that to happen. Perhaps they could both be on HBO on the same night but from seperate arenas, just like Alvarez vs Gomez and Floyd vs Ortiz was last September.

    I think Cotto would most certainly be up for a Canelo fight on Cinco De Mayo if the cash was right. He'd pick up serious cash and it's a Puerto Rico vs Mexican fight on the biggest boxing weekend on the year. It'd almost certainly be on HBO PPV, either MSG or MGM Grand would be a (near) sell-out and i imagine it'd do 500,000+ PPV buys. Put Maidana vs Matthysse on the undercard aswell as maybe Garcia vs Josesito Lopez and you could get serious numbers aswell as a great, action packed card!

    FAR too big a risk.

    Molina dealt with Kirkland pretty easily and arguably beat Lara, plus he's generally viewed as being rubbish to watch and he has a poor numerical record. Zero chance of this happening. Even if Canelo won, chances are he wouldn't look good in the process.
