We know the main players to land Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2010. The list includes Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley. During a recent interview with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, he advised BoxingScene.com's Bill Emes that undefeated welterweight prospect Saul Alvarez (29-0, 22KOs) of Mexico is a dark horse to land a potential fight with Mayweather in 2010.
Alvarez, 19, is a popular fighter in Mexico and he has power but he is not even close to ready for a fight with Mayweather. Maybe in a few years. Schaefer told BoxingScene that a Mayweather-Alvarez fight would a huge event if they made it in Mexico.
"There is a young fighter, 19-years-old. All of Mexico is talking about him. And he is filling up 10,000 people in venues in Mexico. He is fighting at 147; he's undefeated. He's a red head, a red head Mexican. They call him "Canelo," cinnamon head - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. He would like nothing better than to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr," Schaefer told BoxingScene.
"You put Saul Alvarez in with Floyd Mayweather and you put it in Aztec Stadium - you sell 100,000 tickets. The guy [Alavrez] on his own sells 10 to 20,000 tickets. Floyd Mayweather is a big event fighter."

I know that Saul Alvarez is a great prospect, but it's to early for him to fight a veteran champion like Floyd Mayweather.
I hope this is just a F*cking rumor because it's time for Floyd to fight Mosley, Berto, and the winner of the Cotto-Pacquiao bout next year.
I rather see Alvarez fight Chavez Jr and Berto in 2010.
It like saying that Manny Pacquiao should fight unbeaten Super Flyweight Champion Marvin Sonsona because Marvin has the potential to surpass Pacquiao someday.
Come on Floyd I know that you are better than that.
Who's next Juan Manuel Lopez, Nonito Donaire, Vic Darchinyan, Ivan Calderon, Timothy Bradley, and Chris John?
