Think about it, that's the fight that makes the most sense for Nelo next. You don't go into back to back 50-50 fights, at least not in today's era. Alvarez is not fighting GGG in may. Forget about it. Maybe in September.
Oscar is going to use the May 2 date to cash out on an in house fight, they will probably make the fight at a catchweight of 156-157ish.
It's either that or the winner of Lee-Saunders at a catchweight also, but i'm leaning more towards the in house GBP fight.
Tim Bradley is not an option at all, trust me. Bob Arum made that statement about Tim fighting the winner of Cotto vs Canelo just to hype up his fight and promotional company and you all bought into the bullsht yet once again smh...Bob's plan worked and he has everyone mentionig Bradley as a possible oppponent when in reality he is not.
That is just something you dreamed up in your head to make Canelo look bad. Nobody connected with Canelo has said anything about Canelo fighting Lemieux. That is 100% you trying to make Canelo look bad by fighting a guy GGG already crushed a short time ago. For Christ's sake, let Canelo commit a boxing crime first and then complain about it. Don't have him doing bad things in advance that he has no intention of doing. Are you a Cotto fan who is pissed off Canelo won? Canelo beat Cotto by a good margin. He is the new lineal middleweight champ so why not let us Canelo fans enjoy that for a day or two? Canelo's true future plans will be announced soon enough and if you don't like them you can say so. Just don't make up BS that has zero chance of ever happening.
What the fck is you talking bout son? i like Canelo and i was rooting for him to KO Cotto or get a clear UD. I already gave my opinion on why Canelo/Lemieux makes the most sense next, i am not trying to say that Canelo is ducking GGG, it's just that i kind of understand the bussiness part of the sport and i know for a fact that boxers these days don't go into back to back 50-50 fights, let alone 60-40 fights wich would be the case if Canelo fought GGG. This is crazy, you are not allowed to formulate your own thoguhts/opinions in this place because they will say you are hating smh
Canelo's options are Maidana if he comes back at 154 but they can make it 155, David Lemieux if he gets a solid win, or the winner of Clottey vs Rosado. The only one that would sell would probably be Maidana.
As far as GGG he has to move up and if he wants a PPV worthy fight then it will have to be Ward, but when he loses that would ruin the hype of the Canelo fight.
That's canelos next opponent, gabe rosado

I could see it happening.
For their little build up in 2 years or w/e. Beat common opponents, hope you beat them better and then build interest from there.
Canelo will probably move a weight class though and fight Lemieux at the 156 weight class
Lemieux would probably take the fight even if he has to kill himself to make weight, because he has no other option and he really wouldn't deserve this shot either.
No that'd be dumb. Wbc loves Canelo but I don't see how he can have a voluntary and still keep the belt
Look it up bruuuh, Maurcio said that Canelo can pay a step aside fee to GGG if he wishes to do so and thats what he will do
Lemiuex cannot make 156-157. he can barely make 160
Trust me, Golden Boy Promotions WILL have their employee Lemieux bend over to their star player Canelo, the $$$ is going to be too sweet for the Canadian bombshell.
If i where to put my house on it i would bet it goes down like this
May 2 vs Lemieux. Sep 15 vs Lee.
