****in; Josesito Lopez punches harder than J.M Cotto, and was much bigger than him too, yet he couldn't faze Canelo. he caught him with good shots too.
So, let's take a look at his record shall we.... Lopez, Mosley, Cintron, A.Gomez, Rhodes, M.Hatton, Ndou, Baldomir, Cuello, and Jose Miguel Cotto I don't need to go over this again, but as anyone can he he's being padded along nicely. And I'm sure Golden Boy picked up Paul Williams as they saw the state he was in against Lara and Ishida. So yes, good job. Josesito Lopez was a 140 pounder who looked very chubby in the ring. He is also overrated now.
ok well you have fun on boxrec this is such old news, that happened when canelo had barely been picked up by GBP and had his first big fight in the USA... but yeah have fun, this **** is so old... new fans i tell you, they discover boxrec, a youtube video and they think they found the biggest news ever
Yes, it is old news. I know it's old news. It's ok if you want to buy into the hype. I have succumbed to the hype in the past and been let down for it. I nearly bought into the hype of Lucian Bute, then i took the blurry glasses off. I thought he had great body shots and a great uppercut. He did against that kind of opponent. But yeah, he can bring exciting fights win or lose. He isn't as good as you think, though.
Yeah i totally rember that. But Canelo is a much better fighter. I would like to see if his stamina is better. In the later rounds he is not as sharp. I would like to think that he has improved in that area. Hopefully there will be a fighter who can take him into th late rounds. But technically, Canelo looks damn good.
But isn't that part of what makes Canelo interesting to watch? His fans love the way he fights and his haters want to see him lose and can make a case that he can be KOed. In the end both sides watch him which gives him drawing power. I'm an in betweener. I like him but want to see him lose.
Agreed that it's irrelevant to bring up old news when a fighter has improved. But there's nothing wrong with BoxRec. It's there for people to learn and I'd rather have fans come to me with facts and data than pure ignorance followed by dumb fanboy insults.
Yeah. I don't doubt he's not interesting to watch. He is interesting to watch of course. I think him going into a fight as not a deemed invincible force like many believe Mayweather is, is good. As you never know if he's going to get in trouble or not. Up until his next opponent, who hopefully will be a big step up. He has fought guys he can control with his strength. He can boss guys like Lopez, and guys like an old Baldomir around the ring like magic. When he fights guys like Mayweather, who has quite a wide frame, and has as much strength as him, he may come up significantly short. I think Paul Williams could have been a marquee name on his resume, but i also believe he was perfect pickings for GBP to show off what Alvarez can do. I think they could have put Lara in with Alvarez. Lara is a top fighter, but also has holes which Alvarez could exploit. He feel perhaps a fast pressure fighter not far from, or in his prime would be a big problem for Canelo. I think because PWill was a big name, they went for the obvious choice. It's unfortunate what happened with Williams, but i think he was on the decline, and perhaps not completely focused when he fought Lara and Ishida. So, it really give GBP a perfect name to choice for Alvarez to look good against. I think Alvarez would have beat him in the Ishida/Lara form he displayed. I think the weight hopping never helped, and being knocked out was heavily on his mind at the time. I think perhaps he had Martinez on his mind to evenge the loss. PWill lost his focus, but hopefully now he's on the recovery track. Hopefully, if he does recover he can come back in a big way. I personally do not believe he is leaps and bounds above his competition, as a Mayweather supposedly is. And perhaps he has proved he is at 154. If Cotto performs well against Trout, which i have no doubt he won't perform. I think Cotto beats him by a UD, or SD. It will be close but Cotto's experience would come up on top. Entirely depends on how he looks against Austin Trout.
And what are you? A basement dweller? You don't have a life. You posted 20k posts with 5 words in them. You're a nerd and know nothing about boxing. Or you're an alt account. As you know nothing about anything.
nobody gives a **** about Canelo. he fought nobody, he fights guys 2 weight classes smaller than him. Basically Canelo is the least credible "Champion" in boxing history. once he faces a top guy in his weight class who isnt shot, he will get his ass handed to him
