The silver 154-pound champion of the WBC, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, made a quick visit to Mexico City to take care of a few particular issues, but also took the opportunity to talk about his future in boxing.

The charismatic boxer added: "In my career, things are going step by step. My promoter Oscar De La Hoya is right when he said that I should be fighting for a world championship by the end of 2011, and not before."

"In the fight where I beat Lovemore Ndou in Veracruz, I realized what I need to learn. I have to go slowly, without haste, plus there's no reason to hurry. For now I will rest, and be with family. It has been a busy year. My next fight.....we've scheduled it for late February, but there is still no opponent or venue."
