    I'm guessing here... looks like Broner is fighting Rees in Feb (stay busy fight) and May is talking about AB fighting on his May card... do the math (they're both from the UK) and it adds up to Broner vs Burns (which GB wanted to do in Feb) for May 4 (a Lightweight unification fight).

    I've read Canelo don't wanna fight Cotto cuz he's lost two in a row and would rather fight Trout. Good matchup... Cotto makes for a bigger event though.

      Canelo should fight Trout. Also I doubt Cotto is coming back by May, he's said he will be taking a long break.

      Ahh, so mostly speculation. Would be a great fight for the undercard and I do remember FMJ saying AB would be on his undercard. I hope they make it, would help make up for the disappointing main event.

        I agree... a win over Trout (which is not a given) legitimizes Canelo as a champion. Trout could spoil it for Floyd vs Canelo though. Don't know who else they could match up against Alvarez to build up a fight with May in Sept.

        I wonder who else will get put on the card (4th bout). Mares? Santa Cruz? Angulo?

          This isn't the first time they say this to hype up a card.

              An Ortiz vs Berto or Maidana rematch would be the business for the opening bout of the May 4th PPV.
