And when I say HIM you know exactly who I am talking about, he has lost all credibility with me, he would not even sacrifice the reputation of his own heart to go for broke.atsch:admin
Canelo is just 23, man. He'll get 7 figures in his next fight. I do think he will be matched carefully.
Losing to the best fighter of the the last 2 decades doens't qualify as getting knocked off the path.
Theyll sell him as having a bad night, not the real Alvarez, 3 fights time, redemtion etc the hype will be strong again.
The guy will still be at the top of the p4p list in 5 years. He simply fought a foolish fight against Money.
Well he should be ok, but his handlers should know better than to think that a victory over Austin trout would make him ready for someone like FLoyd Mayweather. Austin Trout is a good fighter, FLoyd is an ATG. Stupid matchmaking on GBP's part, but the opportunity came to make 8 figures so he obviously couldn't turn that down.
He looked promising before this; but after such a dismal performance, no interest really. I mean, not that I expected him to win, but come on, show something. He's alright, I guess, but certainly not upper echelon.
I think one of the reasons Canelo did not heat the things up and attempt to trade in 11-12 rounds is that he cared about not getting knocked out. Losing to Mayweather is not bad in the long-term, there will be excuses like he is too young, too drained, just an off night, etc. What could have harmed him in the long-term is the knock out. I personally expected him to try to anything in those late rounds, but he thought long-term.
