By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says that there’s a good chance that Miguel Cotto will wind up facing WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez next instead of the logical choice of Alvarez facing Trout in a unification bout. Trout himself said won’t be surprised if Canelo and Golden Boy choose not to face him next.
Scahefer said at the Cotto-Trout press conference “The 154 pound division is very deep. We’ll sit down with Miguel. There’s a still a possibility we’ll see Canelo-Cotto fight. We’ll see if Trout is a possibility. There are other names at 154 we’re going to be looking at, whether it’s James Kirkland or Alfredo Angulo or any of these guys.”
