What's so great about Canelo?

He seems mediocre at everything. Slow, average punching power, low workrate etc. I think people are being too hard on Ortiz for what happened against Maidana. Ortiz will destroy Cinnamon. He's too fast, too strong, and has a high punch output. Am I the only one who sees it this way?

 

40-0 and only 21 years old.

Solid fighter, can't hate.

 

lol yeah. hes been fighting top competition right? ortiz would be 40-0 too against the guys hes fought. his best win is an old mosley.

 

Hes 21 years old.

 

He has good combinations and accuracy, I just think with his style his slow footspeed and low workrate might hurt him

 

Dude looks like an Irishman but fights like a Mexican... What's not to love?

 

He's Irish.



Damn. Canelo, Andre Ward and Andy Lee. Irish Boxing going strong.

 

age.

If he beats Ortiz then he the next big thing

 

Intelligence.

He's ring savvy like a true professional.
I think he's the real deal, I've only ever been this excited over a guy like Valero.

 

Who ever called him great? :?

I think most agree that he's "pretty good".

 

Yep. Factor in his age and the improvement he shows every fight, and I'd go as far as very good.

 

The kid is only 21 and has a lot of potential...He seems to get better with every fight...To me, he's very well rounded and has some pop to his punches...I think the hype surrounded him is pretty warranted. People can see his potential.

I'm really looking foward with his fight with Ortiz!

 

Did you read the earlier post, brains ?

He's 21.


Give him some time.

 

I like him. I think he can become a very good/great fighter. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he beat Ortiz.

 

he's gettin his azz KOed in his next fight. If he doesn't he is the real deal
