Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya is stoked about Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's return to HBO - opening the door for future fights against Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto and his Mexican rival, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Canelo and Chavez Jr. and two weight divisions apart. Previously De La Hoya mentioned a weight limit of 159-pounds, but now he's gone up a few pounds. Chavez, currently having issues with his promoter Top Rank, fights at 168-pounds but claims he's capable of dropping down for the right fight.
"Canelo wants to face the best. All three are great possibilities - Cotto, Pacquiao and Chavez Jr. But I think a fight with Julio Cesar is very probable right now at 160 or 162 pounds. I have heard that he's willing to get down there, [and if that's the case] then there is a way to make it," said De La Hoya.
