He got the title from a ww..before and since then he still fighting ww or jr ww that make him a paper champ..he's been avoiding the entire 154 division..he want to get the payday against p4p #1 without fight any top 20 in his own weight or a top 500 p4p...the sad thing is that floyd is widely known for a cherry picker soo he will probably chose him due to canelo's lack of expirience against top level opposition....PS:lara will fight anybody anyday but i think that judge him for his acts he prefer to fight ppl from his own weight division...

done to deserve this fight? I mean Canelo isnt worthy of a fight with May, Martinez or Cotto but atleast he has a belt...

However, I really don't understand what people see in him since he is a very sloppy fighter. I think many people in boxing like when a fighter has power and are blinded by it, in a way. Power punchers are good, but it takes more than that to make it to the top. I don't see him getting too far, with power alone. But, let's see what happens.

Name me one fighter that has 6 national amature titles and a silver medal at the olympic trials only being a puncher. I am sure as his career unfold we will see that Thurman does what he needs to. Punch, box or a combination of both.

That fight would be waaaay to soon for Keith Thurman he hasn't fought anybody really notable to be worth a mention in the same breath as Canelo.

Pure comedy! I think the names can be inter-changed and the statement will still be true!

Yes I do blame him...I hate him cuz he got that belt from a WW...since then only fought old WW or JWW..living all the other 154 pounders without a shot at the title..he should have fought molina, lara, vanes or every other ranked JMW but instead he took in the smaller guys who can't punch back with the same strength...he beat little Solis and he blame his brother(not honor in that)...I have no problem with him if he vacate the title and still fighting smaller guys but he won't do it...now he never beat anybody and he is acting like a star..this kid is not good for the sport...if somebody else who never fought ppl from his weight or a top 500 p4p call out the p4p #1 will be eated alive in this site but canelo get a pass cuz his stupid blind but huge fanbase..
