    Historically southpaws have Gonzalez's toughest match-up though.

    He did lose to Ponce De Leon, and way back in the day, Penelosa home run liver shot him after being outboxed, and I think Rigo has a great chance at outboxing him, but Russell seems too inexperienced and especially given his style, undersized.

    It would be a huge step up in class for Russell, but if he manages to do it, he could start calling out some big names like Mares, Donaire, and Rigo.

    Nishioka stopped him with a straight left as well.

    Well, Russell has actually said that he wants to fight Mares if he beats Gonzalez. Rigo and Donaire aren't realistic options due to them being with Top Rank.

    Historically, there shouldn't even be a 154 lb weight class.

    Canelo should take his ass up to middleweight, and Floyd to welter, where he can take that ass whippin from Pacquaio who hits harder than Canelo has more stamina than Canelo, and is much faster than Canelo.
