...Then he'd be the perfect person for Floyd's 50th opponent.
1. He's boxing's #1 attraction at the moment.
2. His next fight will be his 50th, just like Mayweather's.
3. He would be undefeated (let's just assume whoever he would have fought instead of Mayweather a few years ago would have fallen to him as well) just like Floyd, too.
Two undefeated fighters, both the biggest attractions in the sport (with Manny Pacquiao now officially "retired") walking into their 50th fight with now 100 fights between them, both looking to cement their place in history. As it is, they could still market a match between them around the same things with the exception of Alvarez being undefeated, but they could harp on the fact that Floyd is his only loss and that he's grown as a fighter since then and wants to finally avenge the loss. However, I don't know if that would be enough to stir up enough interest in a rematch.
