Is Canelo on borrowed time?

that's the problem. fighters used to fight their way into being a star, now everyone wants to "build a star".

 

I was surprised when he was going to fight Paul Williams, I think he would have lost to Williams. Trout would school him IMO...

 

Paul Williams was damaged goods and his trainer sucked big time. Sad. PW had 'the stuff' to be much better than he was.

 

i'd will be very surprised if Canelo faces Trout, no, i'd be extremely surprised. and i'd pick canelo to win

 

But he still had enough in the tank to beat Alvarez. WIlliams was all wrong for him.

 

Williams didn't use his height for leverage. (**** he didn't use his height and reach for anything for that matter) He was a volume arm puncher and I don't think he would have stopped Canelo from getting on the inside and punishing the body.

 

Arn't all boxers? He's not going to beat Mayweather in May or September. He won't beat Trout either, but that dose not mean he can't beat anyone else at 154. Even if he were to lose to Mayweather or Trout, at 22 he has his whole career a head of him.

 

Well, if he fights a 154 pounder we might find out.

 

His form in the Lopez fight was impressive. I know, Lopez was very small for the weight, but that doesn't detract from the fundamentals Canelo had on display. Same with the Mosley fight; his guard, tightness in punching form, and patience were all indicative of talent and maturity. Same with Quintana, who is probably one of his better opponenets. The Gomez fight definitely showed some of his limitations, but that seemed like a night he was trying to imitate Mayweather for some reason. Trout would be the perfect test at this time IMO, he's due for a proper championship-level challenge.

 

Last amateur card I want to a kid was beating the **** out of the mitts warming up. I'm sure had he ever hit his opponent he would have won. No **** Lopez was undersized. Easy to have good form when you don't have to worry about the opponent.

 

I got the same feeling sometimes but Gomez giving him problems is an urban legend

 

Gomez can box a bit. He just doesn't have the punching power nor the durability to hang with the big boys. Canelo has been displaying his skillset of solid defense and his strength / size is apparent. He walked down every opponent and keeps a tight defense that most boxer just won't be able to break through or deal with.

Canelo would beat Trout if they meet. And Canelo would be a solid favorite in that fight.

Oh yeah, I can see most of the people bad mouthing/doubting him comes from the tards bc Floyd expressed interest in the kid. So get your work done early, start the bum talk lol.
