'Canelo' ready to step up the ladder

It was a hugely satisfying Mexican Independence Day for Guadalajara’s 22-year-old boxing sensation Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who pocketed two million dollars after destroying Josesito Lopez in five rounds to retain his WBC Light Middleweight crown at a sold-out MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

More importantly for Alvarez, the fight confirmed his arrival as a major boxing celebrity and as the heir apparent to the reigns of Cotto, Pacquiao and Mayweather.

Significantly, after the contest Alvarez told reporters that he wants a “big” rival for his next fight.  Critics have repeatedly slammed his handlers for matching the talented young Tapatio with unworthy challengers, either too old or too small to cause him any real problems.
