By Dan Ambrose: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) told his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions that he absolutely wanted a big named fighter for his next bout on May 4th next year.
The list of fighters that Alvarez gave to Golden Boy weren’t just your run of the mill quality fighters. Alvarez wants Sergio Martinez, Miguel Cotto or Floyd Mayweather Jr. Alvarez even skipped a fight date this month so he could be ready to get one of the big names in May.
