    Canelo has bigger fish to fry at this point, no way this fight happens.

    Canelo has better risk/reward options in Cotto or Korobov/Lee winner to go after. Obviously Cotto is the big fight for him and I expect that to happen next but if it doesn't I'm not sure where Canelo goes. Or where his short-mid term goals are? He's fought at 155 last two times out and claims to still want to meet Cotto at that weight. I'm sure posturing is happening there but that tells me Alvarez isn't absolutely dying to get to 160, I guess... I think HBO will build toward a Golovkin vs. Lemeiux fight summer or fall of next year.
