By Dan Ambrose: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya has been saying for weeks now that boxing fans shouldn’t push Canelo to fight Gennady Golovkin because Canelo’s fight against Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) might be competitive or it might bring in a ton of pay-per-view buys on HBO.
Now that we know that the fight wasn’t competitive tonight after Canelo’s easy win over a much lighter looking Cotto, it pretty much undercuts any argument that De La Hoya has for pushing for an immediate rematch between the two fighters.
