Are people gonna lose interest in Canelo?....

He's only 21 but people treat him like hes 27 smh. We don't want him to be like Vargas. But how bout him vs Ortiz in 3 or 4 years?? $$$$$

i just think that he shouldnt have a belt if he isnt gonna fight the top guys. but i guess for 21 hes doing alright. :) :haha: damn, dude. WTF were u doing at 21? I know I wasn't cashing in on HBO and across two different countries. I was just hunting down that next panocha :boxing:

I already started to lose interest in him. I'll jump back on board when he steps up in competition.

dont see the need for canelo when we got bradley, jones, dawson and ward to look forward to.

Cut the guy some slack he is really really young. He needs to fight some second tier fighters to get his name bigger and to learn some more things to help him improve as a fighter. Would you rather have him jump in with an angulo type fighter and wreck his career? I feel if GBP put him in with a world class fighter at the moment then he will end up getting battered and have a similar career to fernando vargas who was rushed along and was shot by his mid to late 20's

Dude. Stop. Canelo is a baby. He needs time to mature in the ring before taking big steps up. If he takes the wrong fight it could potentially end his career (mentally, not physically). His team is doing a very good job. Gomez is a great selection for this ppv, because people know his name and he is a game fighter with a good chin but not much power. Give it time. Then he shouldnt have a belt.... not hating...i usually route for him but come on WBC!?

they are treating him like he's a lot older than he is be patient dude alfredo angulo would ruin him would you seriously make that fight right now if you're GBP and lose out on potential hundreds of millions over the next 5 -10 years? what's with the angulo hype, honestly? he's stopped decent guys who i think alvarez can beat (alcine, julio, and yorgey) but the only real name who pops out on his record is kermit cintron, who outboxed him. people talk about him like he's some unstoppable monster. i'd love to see him vs vanes, i think vanes has the skills cintron had to beat el perro, i'd be happy if angulo actually took the fight. cause i do remember him refusing a 750k payday against martinez. http://www.boxingscene.com/dibella-angulo-out-his-mind-turn-down-martinez--30242

so... im guessing the answer to my question is... no. :)

no, he's young and has a loyal fanbase that'll tune into watching him fight even a tomato can. he's been fighting okay opposition though, besides j.cotto and m.hatton, he's fought guys who are okay making weight and always faces guys coming off of wins. that said, it's not like the other top guys in his division are fighting each other. cotto fought mayorga, vanes fought saul roman, and who knows if angulo will agree to face vanes after a tuneup. same can be said for pwill and trout. only guy i know of is dzinziruk, who is facing lukas konecny (who probably no one knows but is fairly ranked in the top 20 of the division)

If Canelo keeps beating B and C level fighters then we can honestly have to say he is an A level fighter. An A level fighter that is only going to go down against another A level fighter. Question is who is an A level fighter besides Miguel Cotto in the Junior Middleweight? K9 is still questionable. Yea, I like a unification title match between Canelo and K9. Cotto is on the way out. He is cashing out with Top Rank. Top Rank is pitting him against Top Rank fighters like Manny Pacquiao.

as long as these fights happen somewere down the road... but i think he could beat chavez jr.

canelo will eventually fight those bigger names after gomez (hopefully). the real question i think is would people lose interest in canelo if he struggles badly against a guy like gomez (even though i think that's unlikely).

i just think that he shouldnt have a belt if he isnt gonna fight the top guys. but i guess for 21 hes doing alright. :)

If he doesnt fight a name fighter... like; cotto, chavez jr, angulo ect.. the list could go on but my point is that these guys gotta start fighting eachother and not opponents.... Canello has a belt now he sould be fighting real challengers.... they are trearing him like a dude with 10 fights but atleast hes active :) they are treating him like he's a lot older than he is be patient dude alfredo angulo would ruin him would you seriously make that fight right now if you're GBP and lose out on potential hundreds of millions over the next 5 -10 years?

Hes 21 years old, what 21 year old fights the level of fighters that he has? Yeah he will be fine. Yes, at age 21 Floyd was fighting ATG like Sam Girard Miguel Melo Gustavo Fabian Cuello and Tony Pep. How dare Canelo fighting nonames at age 21.
