Mayweather Vs Alvarez - Finally, a real fight for Mayweather.

The Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fight is now a done deal!

After reading that Mayweather will be fighting Alvarez on September 14 here, I couldn't agree more that for the first time, Mayweather picked an opponent that the fans wanted him to fight and one that is very much capable of dealing him his first loss as a professional boxer.

Actually, if you've seen sportsnation's survey, Pacquiao-vs-Mayweather is still wanted. Mayweather-vs-Alvarez though comes in second. With Pacquiao's drawing power fading due to his devastating loss to Juan Manual Marquez, it is easy to understand Mayweather's choice. It is really about what fight will give him the most profit.

Alvarez has nothing to lose and everything to gain in this fight. Even if he loses, he is still young. Perhaps if Alvarez loses and Pacman comes away victorious in the Pacquiao-vs-Rios fight, maybe Alvarez-Pacquiao could be a possibility.

For Mayweather, a convincing win will further cement his legacy.
