I actually see Canelo beating and possibly stopping Cotto. Cotto, despite his brave effort against May doesn't really have pop at 154. Canelo has legit 154 power and he would stop Cotto at this point imo. That win would make him top 10 P4P.
I though this thread was about Canelo's greatness? The jury still out for Canelo, he is a good prospect that has being carefully matched and hasn't face real competition just yet, nobody is invincible and Lara had a hard time with Molina, but raped like an idiot mention it? No even close and you know that, he ask his management to get him Molina, let c if De Cubas obliged and we can all comment about the fight after is over... Lara is not that unproven like you say, Williams, Molina, Brewer and now went up to face a MW, common, Canelo has bring JWW and WW to his weight, Kirkland has face Molina and Angulo, Williams has fought Martinez twice, Lara, Margarito (in his hey days) Quintana, winky wright, I think the only one unproven is the "Champion"
When he fights and gets a W vs. Cotto, Angulo, Lara, Molina, Kirkland or Vanes then we'll talk about P4P status
Matthew Hatton, a shot to **** Mosley, Alfonso Gomez, and an old Cintron does not equal a p4p mentioning. Get back to me when he fights someone like Lara, or P. Williams, or someone not either old or garbage on the world stage.
Because mosley lost to cotto that means cotto would decapitate Canelo right....you know what you're doing with this argument right? Canelo will never be good enough for you...because he's Mexican, and not Cuban. Lol Rest assured, if Canelo was Cuban, guaran-****ing-teed you would be hanging from his nutsack big time.
This guy is perfect for boxing, for many reasons. He is very overrated though, he is still young though and will improve.
I have him #39. My top 100, if anyone cares: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=373863
Canelo is good enough but he is holding a belt that he hasn't earn or defend against the best, that's my problem, not Canelo, my favorite fighter is not even Cuban your moron, Marcos A. Barrera is the man... Now that was a boxer he could bang or box with the best of them and didn't duck anyone, another was Duran (half Mexican) and right now Juan Manuel Marquez, I like Mathysse, Cotto, Russell Jr. and Johnson and I'll support my countrymen.
Another thing your idiot, when do you heard a Cuban boxing asking to fight an old man? They always want to fight the best in their division, Rigondeaux won a Belt in his ninth fight and ask for Donaire right away, but of course he was ducked, Lara is been asking for for the best of them none has answer the challenge, Hernandez won the CW division Belt in his 25th fight, Franco is being waiting for his shot just like Salinas, Gamboa was the best at 126 and now is waiting for a resolution with his contract, but you can be sure he will not bring a corpse from Guadalajara to fight him... And don't do what you always do and start talking out of your A$$, facts son... Like I say before, Canelo is an exciting young fighter but soon he will have to fight the best and that could damage him, just like it did to Reid and Vargas, the thing with those fighters was that they didn't duck none and were not protected as Canelo is, shame on Sulaiman and GBP.
There's a lot of Mexicans fans, real fans, that are asking for Canelo to step up, just go to the Spanish boxing sites and you will read what real fans from Mexico are talking about Canelo, this is not a nation thing little Jr. don't bring the Mexican-Cuban $h1t because there's no $h1t, we have boxers that emigrated to Mexico when Castro took the power and they were treated like their own, do a research and you will find out who they are...
