If Canelo Alvarez didn't make his intentions clear in the ring after vanquishing Miguel Cotto Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center to claim the linear middleweight title, he left no doubt at the post-fight news conference. Asked if he'd fight Gennady Golovkin, the burgeoning superstar who holds the WBA, IBF and interim WBC middleweight belts, Alvarez raised his arms in a double biceps flex pose. “I'm not afraid of anyone,” Alvarez said after also claiming the WBC middleweight title with a 119-109, 118-110 and 117-111 unanimous decision victory over Cotto.
