    Oscar said Alvarez isn't ready for floyd, I don't think they should match him up with cotto yet, so....
    What do you think is a good fight for him?
    Kirkland
    Quintana
    Angulo?

    all 3 fights you mentioned are good matchups.
    canelo is still young and i dont want him to be thrown into big fights as early as fernando vargas was and burning out as fast.

    hes in a good place,hope they dont rush him.no need

    Unification with Trout. Gonna have to throw him into the deeper water eventually and Trout, with his amateur experience and boxing skills is the kind of guy that can do that. He won't be there absorbing punches like Mosley.

    Quintana would be another good learning fight for alvarez, puerto rico vs mexico and the risk involved would make it sell. I think gbp will go for that.

    so, champions dont fight contenders anymore?
    Quintana? where does he rank? Angulo? didnt he lost his last fight?
    Canelo displayed a good fight last night, he is ready to defend his belt...or give it up until he's ready.

    Of coarse we'll get more free fights. Golden Boy would be ******ed not to showcase Saul to a wide audience to build his US fanbase.

    In a perfect world Kirkland. I wouldn't mind Cotto or Lara either.

    Don't sleep on Angulo though just because he's coming off a loss, the dude is a monster.
