LAS VEGAS -- Canelo Alvarez was the right opponent for Floyd Mayweather Jr. When trying to pinpoint what made this weekend the most successful in boxing since 2007, it might be as simple as that. Even before the fight started, it felt like Alvarez had succeeded where many others failed, simply by convincing a certain portion of boxing fans that he had a chance. Juan Manuel Marquez was, after all, far too small. Shane Mosley, too old. Miguel Cotto, thanks to losses against Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito, too beat up.
