Chavez Jr. Hopes For Mayweather vs. Cotto Rematch
By Edward Chaykovsky
Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has told his social network followers that he'd love to watch two possible fights in 2015 - a rematch between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto and a junior middleweight fight between Manny Pacquiao and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
"I'd love to see [these] two fights - Mayweather vs. Cotto 2, Pacquiao vs. Canelo [at] 154," Chavez wrote.
Chavez's writing drew some interest, because Mayweather - if you believe the rumors - is interested in a rematch with Miguel Cotto for May 2nd.
Both Chavez and Mayweather are advised by Al Haymon. Because of their managerial connection, there are some who felt Chavez's tweet was agenda motivated.
There are ongoing negotiations for a fight between Cotto and Canelo. That fight is being targeted for May 2, which is Mayweather's preferred return date. If Mayweather was able to get Cotto, that would in turn block Canelo and Top Rank from getting that May date. Canelo has been very vocal about snatching away the Cinco De Mayo date from Mayweather.
