Choooo Chooooooooo
I became a big fan tonight, had amazing 4-5 punch combos, crazy ones. Great patience in the ring. Nice stamina and power. Great feet and head movement.
Gave this dude the Wlad treatment and got the late stoppage. and hes only 20. Everyone Jump on the Train. Choooo Choooooo

Canelo might become a real good fighter but I'll wait til he's really tested. Rhodes looked no better than Jose M. Cotto did when he fought Canelo. It was not a real rise in competition. After he fights Angulo we will know for sure. Angulo been waiting at the top of the rankings for over a year, thats not right.
he's been inactive man. no one took away his boxing license that i know of, he just got deported and chose to sit it out. anyways, canelo is top 10, not top 5. i'd like to see angulo take some tuneups first and perhaps face cotto (the number 1 light middleweight) or a cintron rematch. i think canelo needs to fight someone like wolak, someone who is willing to come forward and fight (or vanes, since both are young)

Anyone who doesn't respect Canelo is biased. If you are knocking Canelo, go look at who your favorite fighter was facing off with at 20.
My favorite fighter stopped Daniel Zaragoza in the 11th, and won his first title.
I'm not joining no bandwagon. I don't like Martinez, Canelo, and Chavez Jr.
I like Peter Quillin. I like Mikey Garcia. I like Carl Froch. I like Marcos Maidana. To me those fighters have a natural ability to knockout lower tier opponents and give champions/greats/legends a run for their money.
They aren't hype. Maidana fought a very determined and focused Morales who turned the clock back at least 5 years. Carl Froch took heavy bombs against Glen Johnson's Light Heavyweight fists.
AH-CHOO AH-CHOO AH-CHOO CHOO
cotto jr. vanes angulo !!!!
in his post fight interview, he said he will face anyone his promoter says, and he's ready for anyone. he even said "if my promoter tells me i have to fight the devil, i'll fight the devil." hopefully vanes or cotto gets him next, i think angulo needs a bit more time to come back taking a crappy tuneup and then possibly losing, people will ***** about how canelo caught him when he wasn't ready or some bull****. but then again, *****es will always *****
the wheels are gonna fall off the alvarez bandwagon as soon as he fights someone with a pulse
How many 20 year olds are able to compete at the highest level in any sport? Sure Canelo hasn't faced off with any upper tier guys, but it is no different than a pitcher being brought up through the minor league system or a football player playing college ball.
i could give two shiits about what idiots on here are posting about him ducking perro and still being a hypejob, kid is improving at a fairly good rate. good combos, his head is finally moving, and he knows how to use the whole ring. good win for him tonight
Jealous mofo!!!!!!!!!!You can't deny his talent:boxing:
nah man...iam more frustrated with rhodes than anything..it was obvoius from the get go he respected canelo way too much....and he could've done hell of a lot more.....having said that, canelo was impressive with his combos and ring IQ......thought he was just a dumb kid with power.....im still not a fan tho....but it was a good win....fair enough?
for a 20 year old this guy is very very impressive, ya'll killing me with the "not impressed fight somebody" ...wtf who just jumps to the elites at age 20 ??..the guy is getting better fight by fight , and he's being handle perfect..you groom prospects , not throw em to the wolves....
He looks good but his opponents have been terrible recently, he really needs to fight better guys.
Canelo is fighting better guys then 99% of Hall of Famers were fighting when they were 20.
Canelo gets better with each fight, they just need to keep moving him along at that pace. I made a big fuss about Canelo staying at welterweight but tonight his back looked freaking huge.
I noticed his back looking larger myself. It might just be his natural physical maturation since hes still 20.
I know boxing fans are super critical if you dont go for the KO all the time when it appears you can, but I think in the long run its a good thing for Alvarez. hes not taking much damage at all, and gaining a lot of on the job experience. thats nothing but good for him, even though the fans can be tough on him.
Rhodes wasnt a bum, he was one of the best at 154lbs, Alvarez just took the fight out of him early.
