    He looked better in this fight. He moved his head more and used more feints to keep rhodes guessing. I'm worried that with the style he uses, against faster fighters, he might be coming in too straight and might not have fast enough feet to cut the ring off. Time will tell. I would say Matinez has a style that would be hard for Alvarez.

    Floyd looked way better at 20, his defence at least.

    Canelo is indeed a legit talent but he needs bigger fights if he wants the ATG status.

    No, but he is talented and seems to be improving. I'm a fan, but he is not the best 20 yr old ever, no.

    Hell no not even close. The guy has average footwork at best and suspect defense. I've seen a lot better 20 year olds than Canelo.

    very talented for his age, and he will go far; however, if you go back a while (a long while actually), check out a 20 year old Roberto Duran... now that's a sight to behold...

    The same Broner who arguably lost to PDL who is a one dimensional fighter??
    I had Broner winning a close decision but it was much too close for a guy so much better than Canelo.
    Right now you are on the high a fan is after a destruction. You forget Litzau was never much to begin with.

    Broner will be stopped when he faces one of the top guys at 130-135.

    Well im definitely not saying he is at a Martinez level yet. Martinez would probably destroy Canelo and Vargas him.

    Can you please list 10 of them? If you have seen so many of them it should be no problem.

    I never said he was the best i said in the past 15 years he seems to be the most complete i have seen along with PBF and DLH.

    I figured he would go through Mayorga and then Mosley soon after that.

    Both basically money fights which will just make the fans criticize him more.
    I want an Angulo fight. Now that would be an impressive victory.

    Canelo stops both Mayorga and Mosley with relative ease.
    Angulo is a whole different story specially being that he has been frozen out. A good showing and he becomes an American citizen overnight!! haha
