    I think molina is canelo's toughest fight at 154lbs besides mayweather and the fact that he has a great chin,endless stamina,experience,relentless awkward style and i think he could possibly pull off the win.I think molina is the type of style that oul give canelo the most hell,because canelo likes to be set to punch,but a guy like molina would be on him all night and wont allow him to breathe.Giving canelo's questionable stamina,i think this would be the perfect fight for him to truly test his heart and stamina.

    This is a step down, after some good wins I see no point in Canelo going back down on opposition. This is his chance to start busting out some big names

    Molina makes a tough fight for everyone. But his style makes hin vulnerable to be in the wrong side when the judges talk. And he's not a puncher to decide it by KO.
    He loses to canelo.

    Exactly what I have been saying for about a year now. I used to rate Molina as #1 in the division but now with Trout beating Cotto and Canelo beating Trout I can definitely see Canelo being number 1 over Molina.

    Molina does so many little things right and he just keeps getting hated on. As far as the fight I definitely see Molina giving Canelo alot of problems. I actually see him beating most 154 pounders. The wild card is that Canelo also has good defense and fight ending power.

    Canelo to much power. Not only that Canelo has under rated boxing ability, would surprise a lot where he would out box out muscle and out power molina.

    Same with this message right here :good. With Lara drawing (robbing Molina) in his two biggest fights, Canelo definitely established himself as the number one in the division with his win over Trout.

    If Molina wins against Ishe Smith, it would be the best fight to be made at that weight class.

    I'd pick Canelo because he'd actually fight. Not fight as negative as possible to avoid getting hit.

    and canelos not going to come close to stopping molina as well.

    i really want canelo/rosales or kirkland.

    but neither of those fights are going to happen.

    rosales, the quintessential tough, big-hearted mexican, would outwork canelo in the second half of the fight if alvarez does not land something signifgant early.

    nobody at 154 wants anything to do with gabriel rosales...a fighter that tito, vargas, norris, winky or dlh would easily beat back in the day.

    I imagine the Puerto Rican Gabriel Rosado would be willing to fight the Mexican Gabriel Rosales.
