As reported earlier, former junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1, 30KOs) sat down with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer and finalized three dates for his 2014 run. The boxer announced, on his twitter page, that he will fight on March 8, July 26 and November 22. He states that all three fights will be carried on Showtime Pay-Per-View and the March opponent will be announced in the coming weeks. Canelo will return from the first loss of his career, record-breaking twelve round majority decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 14th.

3 PPV's?! He should only have one PPV event in 2014.

At least someone legit. He didn't take much punishment on the Mayweather fight.
There are different ways to be punished. Yes he didn't get physically pummeled but a lost effects people differently, especially how he lost. For all we know he could be depressed and not as confident in his own skills anymore. We saw it happen to Pavlik and Hatton just to name a couple

Canelo has not done anything to desrve a ppv date. Losing badly to Mayweather does not a ppv star makes.He has only fought 1 top ten guy in Trout and won a controversial decision.Other than that he has fought Tijuana cab drivers and guys collecting social security. The minute he fights any top ten guy he is toast. That's why he wants to cash out with a big name before he gets exposed again.

i hear canelo the coward is going to fight molina next :boxing::boxing:
Why is he a coward? He's had back to back tough fights and if it was up to him he would be fighting Cotto or Martinez next, he would be the underdog in the Martinez fight, so how is he a coward?

Lara isn't getting pass Trout, its going to be El perro vs Canelo and the winner of this fight will get the winner of the Martinez vs Cotto fight.
