Not a fan any longer. He needs to stop masquerading as a Middleweight Champion if he's not going to fight at 160.
Fighting Cotto was a bit of a double-edge sword. he ended up getting a win over a sure fire HOF'er, but he's continuing in this trend of catchweights that has essentially held the MW lineal championship hostage since Maravilla lost his strap. I saw someone mention that Canelo took on easy competition since losing to Floyd. I don't know if he's being facetious or not, but Canelo has probably taken on the best competition out of almost anyone in the last 3 years including dangerous guys like Lara, Angulo, Kirkland, and obviously Miguel. If he ends up beating Khan, I hope the WBC forces him to dump the belt if he decides not to fight GGG next, which I'm almost positive he won't. If he's continually campaigning at 155 lbs, than I'm under the assumption he can go back down to JMW full time. If he doesn't think he's ready for the full time move up to MW, than he should relinquish the title after (if) he beats Amir.
He's 1 or 2 signature wins away from me calling him great. If he beats Kahn and then GGG it will change a lot
In general? He's become a diva, and he's protected. They're slowly transforming him from someone who fought for pride to someone who fights for money. Was a fan but he's slipping down my list.
Lol you know what I mean. He's putting off big fights to milk his title, although I don't believe it's his decision.
Yet most people had him winning, well at least the cards did and the one who had him losing still had it a close fight.
Underrated severely, very skilled a top notch resume yet people act like he's been fighting guys like D,Wade or something smh.
