out of all the ones named IMO the perfect fight at this point in time for Alvarez is Delvin Rodriguez, he's not a world beater but he's a solid fighter who has an entertaining style and good stamina, he's been getting good exposure with his fights against Wolak and it would make sense to put that fight up on HBO given how entertaining the Wolak rematch was and how it's the best win in Rodriguez' career
While they might move down for the right fight (read: versus Floyd), three of the names you list are middleweights (Williams, Martinez, Chavez Jr.). Of the rest, I think Martirosyan, Lara, Kirkland, and Dzinziruk are probably the best of the bunch -- but I'm going to maintain that it's kind of a weak division below Cotto. That's not the same thing as saying that fights between these guys wouldn't be fun and competitive.

And the question was "who should Canelo fight next" to make him most worthy of a fight versus Floyd? A win over Delvin Rodriguez doesn't really come close. Canelo is a titleholder and should be stepping it up bigger than that.
