    You mean these terms: come in dehydrated, underweight, fatigued, and weak?

    I wonder some times if all people are just plain stpid or only some people are plain stpid.

    Was gg in his prime with 25? NO

    Did maidana get better with age? no, actually he got MUCH MUCH better. He got faster feet, he got faster hands and he got more limber, YES.

    He is 25, just fkng wait. You all will have your oportunity because, as i've said, it's quite unlikely that he will get to the level of guys like chavez or morales. You just hate him so much that you cannot wait.

    He's got 50 fights and 10 years as a pro under his belt. It's fair to judge his talent now, if not his 'legacy'.

    Marco Antonio Barrera broke out at 26 though and had been a pro for 11 years by that time.

    So yes, 25 is young. Most fighters do their best work from 25-32 or so.

    No, it isnt. Hagler didnt get a shot for the title until he had 50 fights. He talks about chavez, that had 100 fights and didnt get a shot for a title until he had 44 fights.

    Do you want to compare a 50 fights canelo with a 50 fights chavez? canelo destroys chavez's resume and career if we only take into account the first 50 (49) fights of both of them.

    If we are waiting for him to grow up then he shouldn't be a PPV star or the holder of any major title. I don't know about you but I'd rather spend my money on matches featuring grown ups with everything on the line!

    If Alvarez wants to be the face of boxing then act like it, I'm only 25 is as flimsy an excuse as I'm not a middleweight

    He started fighting when he was a kid, 15 years old FFS.

    He's had less than 50 Amateur fights, and has less than 50 pro fights.

    I don't even use losses against fighters to gauge their abilities who lose when they are teenagers.

    At age 25 his has a much much better resume than fighters in their mid 30s.

    What is decieving and almost unethical is a fighter in his mid 30s fighting opponents up coming prospects usually get fed to make them look good or for experience.

    Yet this 25 year old has a resume that shids on any active fighter's resume between 147-168, including the Bum Killer Golovkin.

    :deal

    The only 25 thing means we probably haven't seem the best of him yet. That's all.

    But I doubt he ever reaches the levels of the ATGs though.

    I don't think so, you just got excuses for his average talent. 25 in any other sport is considered prime how is that not the case in boxing?

    Marco Antonio Barrera turned pro at 15 like Canelo did and didn't go big time until he was 26 years old. So yes it can take time.
