This past Saturday night, Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) was in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato to support his older brother, Ramon Alvarez, who scored a knockout victory over former champion "Vicious" Vivian Harris.
There have been several reports in the United States that influential manager Al Haymon is making moves to secure WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. for May of next year, and in turn it would crush any immediate plans for a Canelo-Cotto showdown.
Canelo's handlers, Chepo and Eddy Reynoso, are not worried about these rumors. They are confident that Canelo's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, will reach a deal for a fight with Cotto.
The Mexican superstar's handlers revealed that "negotiations are well advanced for the fight with Cotto" for May 2.
If the rumors are accurate, that Haymon is trying to get Cotto, then it would indicate that Mayweather has little interest in facing career rival Manny Pacquiao next.
