Team Canelo: We Would Go Directly To Mayweather Jr.

[Ready2Rumble82]

Jose "Chepo" Reynoso, manager and trainer of WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, advised BoxingScene.com that his boxer is 100% ready for the biggest names in boxing - Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.

Alvarez (39-0-1, 29KOs) is willing to come down to 150-pounds for a fight with Mayweather (43-0, 26KOs), who is scheduled to return on May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Reynoso told BoxingScene that Canelo doesn't need an interim-fight, he is ready to go directly into a Mayweather fight.

If Mayweather is unable to secure Manny Pacquiao, a fight with Canelo on "Cinco De Mayo' weekend is the biggest secondary option from a financial point of view.

"We believe that every title fight is a big fight. But if you're asking about the biggest names [Mayweather and Pacquiao], we believe that we're ready for those fights. We don't need to have any interim fights. We're ready to go directly into those matches," Reynoso told BoxingScene.com.

He has more than forty fights under his belt and the money guy at his weight refuses to step up to the challenge. I say fight Kirkland and then why not...

If the Pacman fight doesnt happen then the ONLY reason why I say this would be a good choice for Mayweather is because of the DATE alone. Canelo has a HUGE mexican fan base (Chavez like) and it will def. generate a lot of money. Now if it was any other date then my choice of opponent would change. I would like to see him fight Sergio or even Timothy Bradley (fuck it).
