He can still fight any of the top 10 Jr. Middleweights in the division and
he would still be a draw. Erislandy Lara, Alfredo Angulo, Carlos Molina
and even the winner of Demetrius Andrade vs. Vanes Martirosyan also,
a rematch with Austin "No Doubt" Trout there is no shame is losing to
Floyd Mayweather Jr. he just needs to go back to the drawing board. I
wouldn't mind seeing a superfight with Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez and
Saul Alvarez at Junior Middleweight providing that fight can take place..
I think he'll come back strong. He didn't take a serious physical beating and he's still young. He'll likely take the rest of the year off. Then I'd like to see a Trout rematch but his team will probably want a big money fight for him like Cotto or get him a shot at Molina's IBF strap, both fights I think Canelo could win. I don't think they'll put him in there with a high risk, low reward guy like Lara right away.
BIG... he is just 23... you think the floy fight is a setback for him.... man he profit a lot from it, its the most golden sparring he could ever had...he took some golden boxing lesson from floyd plus a golden $15M for dancing along w/ floyd, what else can you ask for???... man we all know how floyd aint even considering fighting him for a long time... they made canelo's size as an excuse... so canelo offered the catchweight, man he aint even up there when floyd was toying w/ him, no game plan, no power, no energy, he's went up there, box a bit, get it over w/ and take the $15M..... BIG, really BIG!!!!
Canelo is still a very young guy only 23. He is growing from fight to fight.
Some fights for him would be a fight with Carlos Molina which I feel would be a great fight & perhaps Miguel Cotto.
That said He won't lose another fight in his career I guarantee it. This loss doesn't hurt his star appeal either.
Canelo just had the biggest payday of his career so I think he'll take about a year off and enjoy the fruits of life then maybe have a comeback fight in Guadalahara against a no name before he gets back into the thick of things.
He is going to take a rest from boxing and take a crack at his first true passion which is acting. He is planning on taking on the role of Opie in the broadway production of "Mayberry" (the andy griffith show) . In this version he will also get to wear a dress. It is rumored that oscar de la hoya is very jealous and may un-retire to fight canalo.
He should fight Cotto. Then fight some of the guys at 160. He's too big for 154 anyway. A fight with him and Golovkin would be awesome.
He can fight Miguel cotto, Carlos Molina trout rematch,
That's the only loss he's gonna suffer in a long time mark my words.
Rest and heal
They say he'l prob move up and if he does he should fight golovkin.it would be huge
