This will be Alvarez first real test. He deserves props if he beats angulo or vanes. Hopefully he is telling the truth that he wants those type of fights after gomez. If Alvarez even dominates either of those fighters in a fight that just means Alvarez is a good possibly great fighter. I personally consider angulo and vanes good fighters, I don't care what others think.

I wanna see Angulo-Alvarez. Angulo has been waiting forever.

Alvarez - Angulo would be an irresistible and compelling fight -- favor Angulo slightly

A title defense against Alfonso Gomez? Are you fricking kidding, since when did Gomez deserve to be a challenger for a title? This is what is making boxing look stupid right now. How in the world can anyone say Gomez is first in line for a shot at a title?
Boxing is getting so ridiculous now days it's embarrassing.

Goldenboy is scared of that match-up because Mayorga could win.

I seen vanes beating angulo and canelo beating vanes

Probably the match-up goldenboy would rather risk Alvarez against. If Angulo wins watch goldenboy and Alvarez want nothing to do with Angulo. Angulo punches hard, I don't think Alvarez's chin is that great thats why goldenboy has been matching him with softer punchers. He was shaken up against Jose Cotto who looked like a midget compared to Alvarez and he was coming off a long lay-off.

I think vanes with Roach in the corner ....he is going to beat canelo and angulo
