How would the canelo fight have turned out? I really think he would've won that one in a great foty type of fight. I also think a win could have opened many other doors for him. A huge trilogy fight with sergio( both would've been coming off big wins on mex independence day over popular Mexicans). Maybe Cotto instead of trout in December. Would he have had any realistic chance at finally landing the mayweather fight?
Conversely, how would a loss have affected him? I'm sure many people would be calling for his retirement after this, the Lara fight and the martinez ko. I think win lose or draw with canelo there would be a great chance of him fighting guys no one seems to want like Carlos Molina or ggg. The guy was a true warrior and boxing definitly needs more guys like him :boxing:
He seemed to be going down hill after the Martinez ko and a win that he really lost over Lara. I think Canelo would have KOed him. He was a warrior and a hard guy to beat in his prime but his prime was short. He was at his best as a giant welterweight.
