    Pictures is his first Amateur fight.


    -I read he turned pro at 15 I believe, and had I think over 100 amateur fights but I can never really get a definite answer.



    Some can translate it, but if you read spanish here is link for a long auto biography i found. With a lot of good info for a fan. Haha.

    -Quincy K you can see here that Canelo was picked on and because of that he is hot tempered, so like is I said that bully thing is wrong... He was just defending himself, because of the hate he would get at a young age over his image. So it shaped his character obviously to be strong.

    Didn't realise he had that much amateur experience. Be interesting to see how long his career goes on at the top level. Was always expecting him to have longevity at the top, but you can never be sure. Bouts, sparring and training all take their toll, so will be interesting to see if he's close to peaking now, or if he'll keep improving when pushing towards his 30's.

    Waits for the anti-gingers to come in and argue he won that event against a cab
    driver.

    Hes always had to face older guys then him, people his age never wanted any part of him.

    true story.

    And when he fights trout or anyone at 154 there always gonna be way older because canelo is young ass ****.

    100 amateur fights?? I don't think that right. I remember him saying on ESPN Deportes that he didn't have many amateur fights. Not sure how many.

    How many is always guess work so many conflicting reports, I've read 200-100 then no more then 20 but he won Olympics in Mexico twice so I'm sure there some truth to some of the numbers.

    There is no way in hell he had that many. He's stated before he had less than 20.

    Number of amateur fights are always overstated because it cannot be checked. 100 fights in like 2,5 years? Yeah right...

    If he had 100 or more amateur fights then he would have been thrown into the fire by now. He has 41 fights already. To have this many fights at this age is usually a sign of a limited amateur back ground. And if he had 100 amatur fights and another 41 professional fights then he should be farther along as a fighter then he has been.

    Hoya by his 30th fight already fought Chavez, Whitaker, Camacho and Quartey.

    ODLH was a olympic medallist so he had the credentials to start fighting better opposition sooner

    by fernandos 21st fight he had already fought yory boy, marquez, ike, winky, thompson and tito.

    my guess is that canleo wouldve been the underdog in each and every one of the fights.

    and if you have any knowledeg about mexico and boxing, the majority of the professional boxers(if oyu can even call them that) are garbage as the average male wage here is $2.00/hour so getting paid $50.00 for a few rounds is good money especially when you have a family to feed. most of these guys dont train, live day-to-day and have no more fight experience than some guys here on the forum. i dont even want to talk about their physical condition as beer would be one of their daily staples.

    just watch a tv azteca or telemundo boxing if youre here in mexico.

    pathetic.
