Canelo Alvarez has recently stated that instead of fighting again in December, he's going to wait it out until next May (Cinco De Mayo weekend) and is DEMANDING a fight between either Miguel Cotto, Sergio Martinez, or Floyd Mayweather Jr.
IMO, I think the fight with Floyd Mayweather would be the most entertaining and the most lucrative...but I think Cotto has the highest chance of landing the fight...that is, given that he beats Austin Trout.
Polling to see who you guys would like to see Canelo fight next.

He will demand but they will dictate which way he goes.
He hasn't fought nobody good that would had got him ready for a fight of that caliber. I want to see him against Cotto if he wins but would like to see him against a top JrWW first.
IF Canelo loses against any of those his nut huggers are going to say that he was too young, too in-experienced or he simply wasn't ready
I'd like to see him fight Mayweather. It'd be an interesting match with a ton of hype, and good for the sport. Also losing to Mayweather still gives him a lot of options as opposed to say Cotto. A cotto loss isn't as forgiving as a Mayweather one. Though I'd like to see Mayweather fight Martinez... Best of the era/154 vs the top dog at 160. I'd like to see Cotto if he beats trout fight Canelo, it's a good closer match-up and seems to be an exciting one. I'd also like to see Martinez fight Mayweather. I realize I put that in reverse but I'm saying the best possible options for the fights if you're going from A to B.
Canelo -----> Mayweather
Mayweather ------> Martinez
Martinez--------> Mayweather
Cotto-------> Canelo
Not sure about that. The one thing that kept Chavez in that fight was his probable 15-20 pound weight advantage.
My guess is that Canelo Martinez would look the same only he might get stopped.
On to the other fighters:
Mayweather outboxes him to a UD.
Cotto is the most vulnerable of the three opponents. Not sure how that turns out.
Agreed! Cotto is the closest Canelo can get to a win and even that one is a 50/50 imo!
Never understood the hate toward Canelo and his competition.
The fact is recently after Mosley he sought out big challanges. Paul Williams would have been gunning for the young guy to resurrect his career. We all know what happened
Ortiz and Canelo would have been a war, most likely Canelo wins but he would have taken some big hits.
At the end of the day you have to make an event, and so Lopez was third on deck.
I hope we see Canelo take on a Cotto or Sergio soon, it would be the next logical step for him. Don't forget this is still a very young fighter, he just has a lot more buzz around him so people don't want to be as patient.
Williams and Kirkland yes. Ortiz hell no.
Let's be honest here this is just about money. Lets not act like Canelo is gonna become some kind of road warrior from now on. This little queer only wants to fight on cinco de mayo and Mexican independence weekend. He thinks he's de la Hoya already and he hasn't even put in the work!

Why would Floyd fight Canelo in May, when they could just make Canelo-Cotto for May, and than Floyd can wait for the winner???
I don't think Floyd will fight Canelo until Canelo actually gets a big win or a couple good wins first. If Canelo beats Cotto, this all happens only if Cotto beats Trout of course (which is no easy task at all), than I have nod oubt Floyd will fight him, as it'd be a big fight then in terms of money and significance.
I truly hope and pray Floyd fights Pacquiao this April/May. If not, I wouldn't even mind seeing Floyd fight Bradley, since Bradley is holding out for a good fight.
Canelo/Molina in December
Canelo/winner of Lara/Vanes in May
Canelo/winner of Cotto/Trout in September
Ideally, Canelo should not be fighting Mayweather until 2014, but it's clear that boxing doesn't work this way. Beating Cotto (assuming he loses to Trout) won't mean shit. Will Mayweather fight Canelo in May? highly doubt that. But does beating Cotto mean that Floyd should be his next opponent? I disagree. Hopefully, WBC will uphold their own rules and will force Canelo to fight the winner of Lara/Vanes.
Mayweather....1 of 2 things will happen: Mayweather will outclass Canelo and once again prove his dominance against a young hungry fighter, OR Canelo pulls off the upset and Floyd finally gets his ego checked. Either way, Canelo will be forced to fight the 2nd-tier fighters afterwards (although a rematch could happen). Alvarez beating Floyd is great for the entire LMW division.

Quintana is shot,way past it why do you keep on insisting on this fight.Because he's at least 154lbs? That doesn't do anything.He's worse then the Mosley who fought Canelo at this stage of career.Fights like these fights don't make Canelo worthy of any big fights.Dzinziruk is ass.He hasn't been the same since the Martinez loss and looked horrible against an overweight jr MW prospect.How about fighting REAL mandatories for once.
Because those would be better already than anyone else Canelo has been fighting as of late. So if he's going to sit on the shelf for 8 months until May against one of these 3, probably Cotto, why not even take a fight in December against a Quintana or Dzinziruk at least??? They're better than fighting another damn JWW. I'd prefer Kirkland or Molina for a December fight, but it looks like he's not even going to fight in December.
I hope Canelo still fights in December. Why not fight a Dzinziruk or Quintana at least??? I hope it's Cotto, if he beats Trout.

Floyd it shoudl be.
The reason being is becuase FLoyd really should be fighting Sergio or Pac. But wont be. So it has to be Canelo and FLoyd. Its not worth waiting as Floyd is a timebomb waiting to retire at any given moment.
He isnt doing anything, whereas Cotto has trout so Cotto cant think too far ahead and a fight with Canelo is thinking too far ahead. Sergio is injured.
So Canelo not need mention any name other than Floyds. Call him out. Lets see if Floyd says you called me out like the big boy he usually says. Floyd will likely duck though, as Canelo looks quite hard in the hatton way.
In the ring article, it said he only wants to fight on Cinco De Mayo and Mexican Independence Day. So he's going to become a 2 fight a year fighter from now on even though he's 22?
