    From the two fights of his I've seen (Mosley and N'dou) he seems to have serious lapses in defense and just an incomplete rawness about him that looks like it could be easily exposed.

    Is this guy the real deal, or just another one of Top Rank's long line of dishonestly overhyped and protected prospects being marketed as the Next Big Thing to the fervently-loyal Latino boxing fans?

    Does anyone think this guys just a gimmick or a solid B+ level fighter?
     
  2. Canelo is with Golden Boy. De La Hoya's bitchass has been overprotecting his fighter for a long ass time.

    ****, I was thinking Top Rank - a natural conclusion by the way he's being promoted. Thanks.

    Watch the Lopez fight and see the real deal


    Jokes **** was a total mismatch
     
  5. so his rawness is incomplete? how would u make his rawness complete? canelo's the real deal. he's being matched carefully because he's only 22 years old. he's fought some over-the-hill boxers with very solid backgrounds and looked very good doing so. this kid's a problem. i would favor him over virtually anyone at 154 except mayweather. lara would probably beat him too.

    I'm saying real deal I don't care about hype the kid is special, Golden Boy haters can lie but they know he tried to fight Williams, Ortiz, Kirkland, Cotto and Mayweather. It's so funny when people act like he is hiding.

    the new boogeyman according to BBALLChump, he termed that phrase it's like just showing how ***** these *****s are calling a threat a new boogeyman? like LOL they saying they scared or what? lmao, if dude was such hype like yall say he is Daddy MAY would be pouncing on that boy with ease, but NO, like midget face, Freckled face is to much of a threat for Chickenweather...

    if he fights him in september and doesnt take a calculated vacation, then **** Ill give him some mad ****ing props, he cant say its the promoters fault like against the midget, because GBP is basically his 2nd promoter.

    ***** on defense hard right now.

    I know Mosley was shot but to beat him at 22 isn't all that bad.

    And if Canelo hadn't fought Lopez people would say Canelo scared to get his jaw broken, he can't win.
