Ronnie Shields: Saul CANELO Alvarez is the real DEAL!

Canelo is a great prospect, but I wish they hadn't handed him that belt so early. He didn't earn it and it puts pressure on him to take on bigger challengers than he perhaps is ready for. Still a great talent and good to watch.

 

I've always said that Canelo if properly trained and managed can be the best for years to come.Giving him a belt didn't help,just put too much pressure on him.After Mosley he's gonna have to deal with a real contender, either JK,Lara,Williams,Cotto or Floyd himself.Then he's gonna be really tested.I believe he beats JK and Williams, goes down in good fights against Lara and cotto and gets whooped by Floyd .

 

As a boxing fan, I want to see him face all of the above mentioned.

I honestly don't think Canelo is ducking anyone, I feel like they've brought him along perfectly. They've brought him to the doorstep of world class boxing.

Mosley is a great fight to make his mini splash onto the world boxing scene. From here on out, I believe he'll get world class opposition, as Mosley isn't what he used to be, but if healthy, is no cakewalk.

 

agree 100% thumbsup

 

Doc I know you are a a Canelo's fan and you know I root for Lara, but I'll bet my house if they ever fight, Canelo's style is made for a counter puncher with power like Lara, he will not touch him and will get clocked and either stopped or the corner will jump and stop the punishment... The gap and boxing ability, technique and experience is abysmal, Canelo is a prospect that's all he is, Lara is a finished product with a well of boxing talent, right now he will get demolished, down the line with the proper development he could have a chance.
