Who should Alvarez fight next?

[ElTerribleMorales]

weak division? 154 is one of the divisions that has a good amount of matchups to be made

Dzinziruk
Williams
Kirkland
Chavez Jr
Lara
Molina
Martinez
K9
Delvin Rodriguez
Martirosyan
Angulo

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.

Williams isn't a middleweight, his next fight is against Ishida at 154, and Martinez would drop down in a heartbeat if offered the fight, anywho beating the likes of Martirosyan is about the same as beating Rodriguez, if it's to earn a shot at Mayweather than he should be fighting someone like Martinez or Kirkland

Canelo aint touching Martinez. On a contract or in the ring right about now. If he's too green for Floyd he's green for Martinez, respectfully.

exactly my point, no way in hell Canelo is going to fight anyone of note, much less anyone really good enough to make him worthy of a shot against Mayweather

I'll say fight K9 to unify the titles. If not, and if Williams look impressive, Williams could be next. It can't be Martinez just on the fact that Martinez next fight if not Mayweather, Pacman, or Ward have to be Jcc Jr. Fighting either, (Jcc Jr or Alvaraz) would bring him(Martinez) about the same money I think.
