Floyd Mayweather v Saul Alvarez in Mexico ???

[littlebif]

He's a 19 year old welterweight prospect with a record of 29-0 by 22ko. Full article at Mayweather vs Alvarez in Mexico? Schaefer Says Maybe - Boxing News

Is this some sort of joke. He needs to fight a top welterweight not a 19year old i hope this is wrong.I like Floyd but this is a joke if he fights this guy.

God, that Richard Schaefer is such an arsehead!

I truly hope that is NOT a fight we see in 2010. Even the Mayweather fans will blush reading that tripe!

Saul Alvarez beat Corlos Baldomir in the amateurs. He's very dangerous and Mayweather is taking a big risk. I see "Canelo" as a very grown up 19 yr old, with a great left hook.

This.... would.... cement.... Floyd Mayweather Jrs.... Legacy.











.... Along with the rematch with Sharmba Mitchell and Gatti.

Floyd is the former p4p king and argubaly still is he shouldnt be facing a 19 year old that hasnt proved nothing.

Read the actual interview with Bill Emes which was a few days back, it was actually discussed as a fight that could take place about two years from now.

Fighting him now just makes no financial sense, that's why it won't happen, certainly not now. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with GBP being Alvarez' co-promoter that this is even being mentioned. I think its pretty much a tactic to raise Alvarez' profile.

Mayweather fights the Pacquiao/Cotto winner. Fact.

No way this happens anytime soon, Canelo is an exciting throwback fighter though, I enjoy all his fights. He is one of the main reasons I miss the Tecate Fight Nights on telefutura.
I would assume fans of Hatton like the starter of this thread would appreciate him.

Hey if he could beat Carlos when he was 3 years old that is pretty impressive.

I can't believe people are really feeding into this article. PBF is going with the biggest money fight and that is Pac. If Cotto wins then its Cotto. Maybe the Alvarez kid is really the draw they say and the fight is being cooked up in a couple of years. But an Alvarez fight is just being mentioned, probably to hype him up, so lets not get all anti-PBF when PBF didn't even say anything in this article. Lets be realistic, the money in a Pac fight will not be ignored.

Haha, Baldomir in the Amateurs was a great win for Alvarez.
