    and canelos has yet to fight a southpaw to hone his skills in a division with kirkland, trout and lara.

    horrible management.

    simply horrible.

    So he was ready for Angulo, but not Canelo? That doesn't make sense. Angulo is a Gbp fighter too why did they make that one instead? Excuses from Kirkland. I criticized Canelo more than anyone, but not his fault Kirkland backed out and Williams unfortunate accident. Kirkland got injured with Molina, not Kirkland stop crying.

    agree. i mean, aren't they supposed to get these fighters(Lara, Kirkland,etc) out of the way to give him the experience he needs before facing a Mayweather or Cotto? do they want him to beat Cotto or Mayweather or do they just want the $$?
    he very well could end up like Berto.

    Eventually I see him fighting at least two of them... GoldenBoy is stunting his development by not putting him in with the tougher matchups at this point though.. I believe he's ready to step up, and I think he does too. Sadly I think they're waiting for the Mayweather cash fight before putting him in with any other threat, which is backwards to me.. He should be fighting the Lara, Angulo and Kirkland's of the world SO he can get ready for a Cotto, Mayweather or Martinez..

    Canelo doesn't want to waste time with small fries but I can see him fighting Angulo and Kirkland at some point.

    He'll probably fight Angulo next Cinco de Mayo if he cant get Cotto or Mayweather like he wants

    he was ready for angulo because his shoulder was injured after molina. thats why dlh saw an opportunity and tried to exploit it like he did with josesito.

    josesito/canelo was one of the worst things ive seen in boxing.

    ever.

    gsp recently took almost a year and a half off from acl surgery and gbp tried to force james into a fight with canelo after only six months recovery.

    let it go elchivito. if you try to argue with me about the credibility of canelo alvarez i will rip you a new ******* like i have all the other canelo nuthuggers.

    although that list is getting smaller by the day.

    My guess, and I hope I am wrong about this is, GBP will keep him safe while using him as a cash cow. Putting him in fights his opponent has no real chance of winning, regardless of how big a name (Shane for example), can come back to haunt him when he steps up. He's being coddled by GBP right now.

    oh trust...if canelo beats lara....itll be more of the same ....hell be ducking someone else.....jesus the kid is being "coddled"? really...how old is he now?

    the only way canelo can become credible in most of these guys eyes is if pac beats him...then all of the sudden hes a top p4p beast
