You mean the same mexican that was stopped by Cotto? That real mexican?

I can only see a brutal beat down in this fight and it won't be by the hands of Gomez. It will be dished out by that OTHER Mexican.

That comment is just a low-blow. Cotto is a future hof'er, no reason to bash someone for losing to Cotto.

How is he gonna teach Canelo if Gomez himself doesn't know how to fight like a real Mexican...

I will admit this, this version of Gomez is much better than the one that Cotto faced. His boxing has gotten much better and he is fighting at a better weight for him.

Saying that, I still think Canelo KO's him because Gomez is going to stand and trade with him and it's not going to end up good.

I think it would be an idiotic move if Gomez wants to trade with Alvarez unless he knows something we don't know like he thinks he can KO Alvarez.

gomez is not a cupcake

i think goldenboy is doing a great job bringing canelo along

they're looking past the current starpower to make sure that he's brought along correctly in terms of the development of a professional boxer.

he's very young
i do not care how much money he could draw against a big opponent now
he'll draw even more against them later

and maybe if you bring him along right he wont get his head caved in before he gets there

seriously guys... canelo is 21 years old
he's only just becoming a man. he needs to mature physically and learn a bit more. he's not ready to face a huge puncher yet. he's just not there. he doesn't get out of the way instinctively, he's got too much offense on the mind

and he doesn't have a consistent jab yet
a guy like sergio mora would give him a handful at this stage. maybe even beat him (but you know they'd job a mute fighter like mora with no pop who runs)
and if you let him develop, he's almost garanteed to stop a guy like mora later on in his career if he develops a jab
