Why NOT Alvarez vs Bundrage

[bzkfn]

I don't understand why people want the Trout fight for Alvarez so badly. It'll be a good test, but it won't set the world on fire in terms of excitement. Both Kirkland & Angulo are more exciting fights IMO and I'd like to see how good Alvarez chin is against a legit 154lber who can bang.

I heard Canelo doesn't like dogs so Angulo and K-9 are out.
Seriously, I would like to see Trout vs Canelo, it would tell us a lot about both of them. Canelo was going to fight Ortiz but Lopez beat him, so Canelo fought Lopez. Canelo was going to fight Cotto but Trout beat Cotto, and was calling out Canelo who was ringside. There's enough drama there to generate a lot of interest, besides any fight Alvarez is in will be great. I like the excitement Canelo brings to the ring, I can understand why the Mexicans support him so much. They love the guy!

Simply for me it's that there is no question Cotto would be next had Trout played his presumed role and not spoiled a date for Canelo. He's earned it and proven capable. As for excitement I think you can have good results with a styles clash rather than a Angulo or Kirkland who are just coming back from the scrap heap and proven rather easy to box. Angulo has along way to go with his punches looking not so harsh and getting hit on like a piñata in his last give and take fight.

Bigger is what Canelo would do for himself facing Trouts style being that Mayweather is
on deck. He needs to face someone other than a single gear guy leading with his face if he hopes to prep for the total opposite in Mayweather. If he can't impress or do well with Trout he really doesn't belong fighting Mayweather right now.

Edit, and never under estimate the selling point of a good "Im seeking revenge because
you beat up my brother" tag line

What a paradox.

Victor Ortiz vs Josesito Lopez
Josesito Lopez
"Yeah I am brave enough to fight the winner of this fight, after all" -Alvarez

Cotto vs Trout
"Wait who is Austin Trout, again? I was supposed to fight Cotto!" -also, Alvarez

Now, it could be that Trout is not a big enough draw, but why did that logic not apply after the Ortiz/Lopez fight
