middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on September 15 at the MGM
Grand in Las Vegas, the world's uncrowned #1 junior middleweight
contender, Carlos Molina, would like the fight.
"Hell

Molina
says he's ready, willing and able to step in, should anyone on Team
Canelo come up with the novel idea of fighting the rightful #1
contender.
"I'm
in the gym training. I'm ready for anyone, Canelo, anybody. I want to
fight anybody in the top ten. I want hard fights, the toughest guys out
there. This is the best division in boxing and that's where I want to
be."
Molina
says he would be up to his usual spoiler ways should he end up in a
