[Light_Speed]

WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 KO’s) revealed recently that he wanted to fight former WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez next but his team said no to the idea.

In an interview by esnewsporting.com, Alvarez said “I wanted Sergio Martinez, but my team said it was a style that wouldn’t appeal to fans. We want to give the fans a fight to enjoy.”

I don't doubt that at all,His team would never allow him to get a beating like that

[El Angel]

Not an entertaining fight? I think his team knew he'd get KTFO by Martinez right now. I like how Canelo wants to fight the best. His team just coddles the hell out of him. He needs to win big fights to gain international appeal.

Lmao....he meant it wouldnt appeal to "his" fans because he would get his ass whooped

Both GB and TR knew Sergio was a big threat to their Mexican stars. TR stepped up though.

Only because Chavez will have a 20+ lb size advantage on Sergio come fight night.

Top Rank had 0 choice.Chavez was at the end of his contract and demanded the fight

Translated: "it wouldnt be a one sided beat down in your favor like the rest of your fights, so no"
