By Dan Ambrose: While the entire boxing world was busy talking up a fight between Gennady Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez last night following Canelo’s 12 round unanimous decision win over 35-year-old Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) in Las Vegas, Nevada, Canelo’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya seemed to have other ideas, saying that there’s a lot of other big fights out there potentially for the 25-year-old Canelo other than a fight against Golovkin.
One of those fights is a rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs). De La Hoya said that they will take the fight with Mayweather in May if he chooses to come back and agrees to fight Canelo.
