Saul "Canelo" Alvarez- for the doubters, did he earn you respect last Saturday?

he didnt hang tough, he outclassed trout. the judges got it right.

 

Being young does not garantee he will inprove forever. Devon had that same crazy hype, he still young. Do you see him improving? You never know when a fighter is gonna peak. So now each division leader is elite? theres only a handfull of elite fighters. Floyd, sergio, klitchko, marquez, rigo and ward. This is the bute hype all over again. He is good but just wait

 

Its a good question, and worth a debate, hate is a strong word, more like doubt, in my mind anyway.

I felt a good strong well schooled JrMW with high output could/would outwork Canelo, and I felt his punching ability was overrated.

I still feel Canelo lacks workrate and the judges scorecards in the Trout fight were somewhat ridiculous, I had Canelo taking the fight by 2 points, which if you take into consideration the KD I feel Trout may of won the fight had he not have been knocked down, which is of course pie in the sky because it was a clean heavy looking knock down despite the fact Trout recovered really well.

His punching ability is what it is, he is a good puncher as well as being a good boxer, he's a very skilled athlete, very strong, very composed and all round he is a very complete looking fighter who may make a good case for domination at 154-160 in the next 3-5 years.

For what its worth I think he would beat Mayweather, as the size difference is just too big for Mayweather to make up despite how good he is, but I think Martinez would have his way with Canelo, that would depend on what weight class the fight happens, 154 may drain Sergio being that he's been a MW for some 3 and a half years.

At 154 there are still big tests for Canelo but for me right now he rightfully takes his place as the number JrMW in the world.

Im pretty sure Canelo wasnt planning on trying to walk Trout down.
