    These guys are professional fighters. The fighters themselves aren't afraid to fight. It's the matchmakers and promoters that keep them from stepping up. Would like to see Canelo in with a solid 154 lber before those guys, but if he's ready, he's ready.

    Hopefully he fights Bundrage in mid-December too...

    he could do cotto but he better rethink mayweather @ this point. good thing he doesn't pick his fights cause he could be washed up b4 he starts he need to calm down he will get there don't be too cocky, he's a good fighter but needs more experience.

    All 3 of them would beat the **** out of him.

    he's too robotic for a killed boxer.

    He is demanding they fight him? Well what top fighter wouldnt demand to fight those top notch guys. The guy he could beat is Cotto, but even Cotto would be tough. Mayweather won't fight him and Martinez would probably beat him if he is not getting too old. I say Canelo would beat Cotto and lose to Mayweather and Martinez.

    Not according to Floyd. Floyd said his health would be at risk for a fight with PAC and no money is worth his health = that equal afraid to fight.

    Of those guys, I'd go for Cotto first if I were Canelo. Cotto is the most winnable fight for him of those three right now.

    I'd take on Bundrage first in December to pick up another title, try and get Cotto in May 2013, and Floyd in September 2013. He could then try and get Martinez in May 2014. Martinez will have probably slowed down enough by then to lose. That, and we don't know how Sergio will look coming back from that knee surgery/broken hand.

    Time is definitely on Canelo's side. All three of those guys are aging and already in decline (Mayweather, Cotto) or will probably get there soon (Martinez). Canelo is on the rise.

    Actually, its quite rare a boxer doesnt follow the 'sit down with my team and whoever my promoters tell me to fight' line (from mayweather, to cotto, to pac)

    Finding true ambition to fight the best amongst the stars of boxing is rare....

    I find Canelos drive to fight the best very refreshing.
