Saul Alvarez: "I have no need for Floyd Mawyweather, He doesn't want to Fight"

By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. Will Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. find another way to dance around an opponent, much in the way he did with Manny Pacquiao? Is he really going to step it up and go up against a live dog like Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez?

Sure, Mayweather talks a good game in wanting to fight against Alvarez, but is that really the case? Recently quoted on ESPN, Saul Alvarez spoke out on the contract that Mayweather refused to sign, stating: "Mayweather has no word to support what he says. The contract was already within the terms and just was missing the signature. He said yes, but nothing happened at the end. Floyd never signed anything. But in spite of all that I am happy with my fight (vs. Austin Trout) and my own date (Headliner April 20 at the Alamodome in San Antonio). This is what I wanted from the beginning."

So does Alvarez have any need for a Mayweather clash? Apparently not. “I have no need for Mayweather to impose conditions," said Alvarez, adding: "Because I can have my own fans, my own event and my own history. I'm tired of being accessible to fight him, since he never was real in what he was talking. The truth is he does not want to fight me. I will continue doing my own history."

As much as I like Floyd Mayweather the boxer, his days of being number one in the ring are almost over (retirement is coming soon). I'd like to see "Money" step it up in his final fights and leave fans with a reason to remember him... because whether "Money" wants to admit it or not, right now he risks his legacy being remembered as the guy who avoided Manny Pacquiao... does he also want to be remembered as avoiding "Canelo' as well?
