Because its bound to happen next. He is ranked top 10 in the Light Middle Weight, and I see DLH GBP having this fight next.. I doubt they put him in with the Elites next... probably in 2 more fight by early 2012 or late 2011. Yuri made a lot of fans because of the courage he had against Cotto. So?
Won't happen, Don't forget Top Rank owns Yuri. (& GBP has Alvarez) But if it did happen, I'd bet Alvarez. (Y. Foreman don't have enough "Ugh" to make Saul respect him "Rinse & Repeat" last night)
Any good fighter should be able to time Foreman as he jumps in and out like a little scared rabbit just like Cotto did. Canelo will walk him down just like Cotto did. Canelo wide UD
I think your right about this happening next. They will keep putting Alvarez in against light punchers. I think Alvarez win a UD.
I agree this fight might not be made since Yuri is with Arum, but he would be a ideal and legit opponent for Canelo. If not i say he should take on Vanes who like Yuri is legit but beateable.
Unless Canelo can somehow get a 1 fight release from GB, Arum isn't likely to do a cross promotion with them.
****, I forgot about him being Top Rank... I don't know then, none of the TOP Rank fighters any time soon, like cotto, margo, clottey.. Maybe Erislanda. But I think GBP woulprotect them both... I see BERTO for the WW title.
This horrible feud is messing up so many potentially great fights for both prospects and already established names. This fight would be a great match to see how Yuri deals with a younger and stronger but less experienced fighter, and how Alvarez deals with the movement. I'd favor Alvarez but it would be good to see.
i think dlh puts him in first with bundrage. foreman had a torn acl going into the cotto fight. also, foreman has beat daniel santos, a tough out for anyone. and team paq did not want to fight foreman. foreman fights next weekend at -210 and he should prevail. against alvarez i believe its even money as canelo does not have the power to ko foreman. bundrage or spinks before foreman.
if arum truly hates dlh, why not? nothing like taking away another promteers cash cow. i think foreman wins a decision at 154. he beat santos. there is nobody even at half the level of santos on alvarez's record.
I think the more interesting fight is Alvarez vs. Chavez Jr. if Jr. can still make 154. Top Rank vs. Golden Boy young Mexican prospects.
They wont match canelo with foreman yet. He isnt ready to deal with yuris footwork. Ever since the larry mosley fight canelos opposition was a stepdown. After his unimpressive showing lastnight, i dont know what corse they are gonna dig up for him next. They wont touch yuri foreman though.
