Saul Alvarez:
“I dont have intrest in fighting Chavez Jr., the truth is, im going for bigger things, against good fighters and right now im in a good part of my career, we are looking for fighters/tough fighters with big names . someone like Pacquiao early next year or at the end of this year or next. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr does’t even enter my mind right now”.
”I dont believe that i will return (to mexico) this year (to fight). I already signed on for three fights with Oscar de la Hoya(GBP), they are going to be great and I dont want to risk anything, there will always be time to fight in Mexico”.
