WBC 154 lbs. champion canelo alvarez will be back may 4 and it won’t be against mayweather. canelo said he wants mayweather but if he couldn’t get him then he’ll consider facing trout. the other option is the beaten and exposed cotto.
it's obvious GBP is not willing to take risks with canelo to match him up against legit competition, therefore the trout match up is almost unlikely. canelo may be a champion but his trinket is not worth anything, being champion means defending the belt against the best and canelo is doing the opposite.
for canelo to redeem his himself from being the most overrated boxer today, he should face/defeat any of the following.
sergio martinez - a much much better version of trout, he's a free agent which makes it more workable with GBP.
erislandy lara - a GBP fighter, ranked within the top 3 by the WBC
vanes martirosyan - a TP fighter, ranked within the top 3 by the WBC
james kirkland - a GBP fighter, ranked first by the WBA and third by the WBO
keith thurman - a GBP fighter, at 24 yrs old and undefeated, he's the biggest prospect right now in the ww & sww division.
like many fans out there, i am hoping GBP doesn't give canelo another cab driver to fight.
your thoughts?
Since they're taking this long to announce it I think they're either waiting for Cotto to make a decision on his comeback or trying to use Trout as a negotiation tool to bring Cotto's asking price down.

Lara vs. Vanes winner because that's his mandatory. I guess since he can't fight them in May just take on a real 154 pounder. Kirkland, Angulo, Bundrage, anybody.

]didn't vanes recently talk about wanting to move down to 147 to fight bradley tho? lol..wouldn't mind at all seeing canelo vs lara if he ends up ducking trout.
Wtf? No way... The dude is nearly 6 feet tall wanting to fight a 5'5" J/WW? :rofl:
lara fight will be great...sergio is tied up with murray
Lara/Vanes 2 is also going down. The only fighter available from the poll is Thurman, but he's too young and unknown to take a risk on.
I really think Canelo wants to fight Trout and I wish Oscar would quit being so greedy and give Trout the fight he deserves. I think Canelo can beat him. It's time for Oscar to have some faith and let Canelo sink or swim with the sharks. If he can beat Trout the demand for a Canelo Mayweather fight would be big.
canelo should face him and avenge the lose his brother took from trout, that's more than enough reason for canelo to face trout

Oscar has talked a good game, but his actions are saying that he doesn't trust in Canelo's ability. He's said multiple times that Canelo is ready, so what's going on then? Fighting a faded Mosley and a small Lopez is not a good look for his future superstar.
K9 did receive criticism for not wanting to fight them. Allegedly, he even wanted to get it put in the contract that he wouldn't have to fight Lara. We all know how Mayweather operates, plus he isn't a true LMW anyway. As for Zaurbek, he gets zero press and zero hype around here, therefore he falls under the radar. On the other hand, Canelo is backed by GBP and receives hype from all sides, so his career is under the microscope.I really think Canelo wants to fight Trout and I wish Oscar would quit being so greedy and give Trout the fight he deserves.

My thoughts are Canelo can't possibly fight Martinez on May 4th even though he asked to fight Martinez. Martinez has a fight on April 27 th 2013. Also why is Canelo the only 154 pound champ getting trashed for not fighting Trout and Lara? There are three other 154 pound champs and none of them are fighting Trout or Lara. Why do you give them a pass and single out Canelo? I voted if he does not fight Trout he should fight Lara because Lara is ranked the highest and is promoted by Golden Boy.

What the hell does Lara bring to the ring that Canelo cant handle? Lara spent 10 rounds running from Vanes. Hes gonna do the same against Canelo. Laras the most overhyped fighter on earth.
I'm not sure what to make of the bold. Anywhere near a tread concerning ginger.
