Miguel Cotto Next Fight: Junito Talks Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin After Win

Miguel Cotto didn't waste any time looking to his future after defeating Daniel Geale on Saturday night. The 34-year-old has his sights set firmly on Canelo Alvarez.

At the same time Cotto signaled he wants to take on Alvarez, he also seemed hesitant toward the idea of fighting Gennady Golovkin, per Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated:

Mannix added that Freddie Roach is firm in his belief Cotto should battle Golovkin after he's done with Alvarez:

Following his victory over Willie Monroe Jr. back on May 16, Golovkin told HBO Boxing that he'd relish the chance to take on either Alvarez or Cotto:

Bleacher Report's Jonathan Snowden doesn't think the unbeaten Kazakh star needs another warm-up bout before he's prepared to take the next step in his career:

"

GGG is done messing around. He's ready right now guys. Guys, he's ready. Guys.

Although fans might want to see Golovkin get a shot, Alvarez is a smarter opponent for Cotto simply from a financial perspective. Canelo is a much bigger draw than Golovkin, and Cotto would be foolish to pass up a hefty payday.

He won't be able to avoid Golovkin forever, though. At some point, those two are bound to cross paths, and the 33-year-old Kazakh boxer will finally have the marquee fight he has long sought.
