This is actually a compliment to Alvarez. The fact that a guy like Mayorga is all but ignoring him seems to suggest that he wants to be in a more winnable fight. In his mind, that would mean the other Mexican contender, Julio Cesar Chavez.
I wouldn't mind either fight, to be truthful. They are both still green enough to get tested by a wily veteran that gives you awkward looks and angles who can bang. Might test their chins once and for all.
I'd agree that he does have a better chance with Chavez, as well. Though, I'd probably be inclined to take either of them over him. Nothing would surprise me, though.
