Golden Boy Promotions Looking For An Opponent To Face Alvarez on May 5th

By: Frank Rivera

 

Oscar De La Hoya announced today on twitter that he is looking for an opponent to face WBC Super Welterweight Champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on the undercard of Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th.

Oscar claims that he has a few options for Canelo but did not say who, but instead asked his fans what do they think.

Here is what Oscar tweeted, ” I have a few options for canelo on may 5th. Who do you think?”

There are plenty of options for De La Hoya to choose from but the real question is, is he willing to risk putting Alvarez in the ring with a possible threat? If the Golden Boy is really asking the fans (which he is not), then I have a few names that I would like to throw at De La Hoya as possible opponent for Canelo on May 5th.

  1. Austin Trout
  2. Erislandy Lara
  3. James Kirkland
  4. Carlos Molina
  5. Cornelius Bundrage
  6. Vanes Martirosyan

We know that Erislandy Lara, James Kirkland and Carlos Molina have upcoming fights soon, so they are scratched off the list. This leaves us with  three candidates, Austin Trout, Cornelius Bundrage and Vanes Martirosyan as potential opponent’s for Alvarez.

My choice out of the three would be Austin Trout.  If you remember, at one point Saul Alvarez called out Austin Trout because he defeated Alvarez older brother Rigoberto Alvarez in Mexico. Trout was willing to go back to Mexico and face Alvarez in his hometown. The fight never happened and Trout is still willing to fight Alvarez to this day.

Austin “No Doubt” Trout vs Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has a real nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Please let us know who you think Oscar De LA Hoya should pick to face Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 5th.
