How can you say the guy is "trying" when there are still worthy fighters available?

Sure, he tried to fight Williams, but Williams was one fight removed from being asked to retire (Lara).

Then he tries to make Kirkland fight injured.

How is this kid trying?

If he was trying, he would've fought Kirkland after Kirkland won his title eliminator against Angulo. People say Kermit Cintron was a good fight, but why not fight the guy that beat Cintron in Molina instead of fighting Cintron?

Now people are saying that it's alright he fights Quintana. Well what has Quintana done to be title worthy?

It's an alright fight, nothing more nothing less. It doesn't do anything for him, but it's better than Mosley or Gomez for sure.

Lara is never happening, I'm not even going to waste any time talking about it. It's like Donaire vs. Rigondeaux, NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.

If you would read anymore of my posts, I usually tend to say that I'd rather see him fight Trout or Bundrage right now, than Carlos Quintana. Quintana should fight someone like Rosado in my opinion.

And I don't blame the Kirkland thing on Alvarez. Kirkland talked like he would be fine for September, and accepted the fight, then said he wouldn't and backed out. That's fine, whatever.

Personally, I'd rather see Alvarez just wait till October and fight Kirkland.

Cintron and Mosley are not good opponents at this stage. Cintron looked like an amateur with zero punching power and still gave Canelo some trouble at one point. shane at this point is horrible. I'm gonna wait till he fights a legit guy and shows what he really really can do. but I do think he has some skills

I think that he definitely looks the goods so far and seems to be getting better and better. Only time will tell but IMO he's got a very bright future!

I really believe Canelo is the real deal and not just a hypejob as it seems 95% of the people on this forum think.

I get that he hasn't beat a legit opponent yet but the kid is 21 years old FFS, people need to rememeber that.

Which other 21 year old has a resume that comes anywhere near Canelo's?

Everyone keeps using the ''GoldenBoy are protecting him'' line. Are they really? I mean, The Punisher, Kirkland and then Ortiz were all opponents GBP wanted, does that look as if they are protecting him?

Canelo is the real deal. He aint no hypejob. You haters will still be hating no matter who he beats.

Tyson, patterson, Morales, barrera, Camacho SR., Vargas, Benitez, Trinidad and a few others had better resume at 20 that Canelo's, they we're Champs at 20 and fighting the best of their division.

Cotto/ Mayweather rematch in December.

Canelo might actually be a good fighter, but given his pathetic schedule so far how can you tell? As was stated earlier, if he was just a contender fighting these guys it would be no big deal, but the crooks at the WBC want us to believe he's a world champion. I'm still burnt up mad that Suliaman let this kid beat up a 2nd rate 147lb fringe contender (Hatton) for the vacant WBC 154lb belt! As long as crap like this continues this great sport will never again be main stream
