Alvarez is in beast mode now. Yeah... Agreed, Nobody @154 can do **** to him. Serge ain't dropping down & still be effective enough. Marty/Lara winner prob the best bet to give Canelo a "Fight". Floyd ain't fighting him, Let's forget that one. Cotto IF he gets passed Trout Might put up a good fight for a couple rds.
Floyd Cotto Lara Martirosyan Molina Kirkland Angulo Canelo's "best wins" : Matthew Hatton ; Alfonso Gómez ; Kermit Cintrón ; Shane Mosley ; Josésito López = he fought NONE of that list above , I mean NONE ! If he will take Martinez fight at 158 cw or Lara vs Martirosyan winner , then he can have some credit ! :deal
Hard to imagine most of those guys haven't fought eachother either. (With the exception of Kirkland/Angulo... & the upcoming Vanes/Lara) It's no wonder why they havent emergered on the sweepstakes. Kirkland has the most sack outta the bunch.
Speaking of 154lbs... Looks like Berto about to get a free pass at a belt. Berto Vs. Bundrage In the works. (Easy win for Berto?)
Yeah, I agree. In beating Cotto, Lopez, Rhodes, Mosley, Cintron, Baldy, and Alfonso ****ing Gomez, he has proven that he's pretty much a legend. He doesn't have anything left to prove.
Most 154 pounders would be favored over his competition so far. I can see the kid has talent, but there is no evidence he is unbeatable.
there is no evidence he is any good at all, anybody can look like a world beater fighting weak competition :hat
Oh yeah? Really? How about fighting some actual 154 pounders so we can see if the hype is real? Bundrage was the perfect fight for Alvarez? Kirkland? Martirosyan? I won't even fault him for not fighting Pure Boxers like Trout, Molina, and Lara due to them being possible snooze-fests and killing his current buzz. Anybody who can actually crack and not be dwarfed by his size.
gbp already tried that in sparring with ggg. per steve kims twitter, canelos leg stiffened up for ten minutes after he was cracked by a ggg left hook. couldnt even sit down in his corner. this with full headgear and 16-18 ounce golves. canelo is going nowhere near lara or kirkland. guy wouldnt even fight 5'6" 38-year-old bundrage and now hes going to fight proven lara or kirkland after his shoulder is 100 percent? decemebr 1st is maidana, rosado or blown-up ww carlos quintana. there is a reason not one single past great fighter is giving any praise to canelo. its because there is nothing to praise.
