I think they know Lemieux is slow as hell and has no defense. It would be Kirkland part 2 and put him in a position where he's looking as if he's "working toward" Golovkin. I think Oscar would totally make this happen and sell it sleazily just like he did the ggg ppv.
unless Cotto somehow loses his next fight.
If he ever has a next fight,,, I was hoping for cotto-Maidana this fall or even marquez, but looks very doubtful we see Cotto in a decent fight this year..
I expect Cotto-Canelo 2 next May..in the meantime, if no marquez, I expect Cotto to fight a bradley, or some punching bag like angulo, kirkland, etc
Canelo's next fight will be regular hbo,mhe won't be back on PPv till may..
Monroe on regular hbo
Cotto 2 PPV

Even with Canelo being the heavy favorite, Monroe has the style to make Canelo look bad. Canelo would still win, but I think the next two will be more showcase fights
I don't see him fighting Willie next, he's already under a lot of pressure, he would get way too much backlash for that fight.
IMO Stevens is next, but Eubank Jr is a realistic fight not many people have thought about, it could definitely happen. Watch this space.
As for May, maybe Lemieux? IMO BJS is gonna end up fighting Golovkin, so that rules him out.
