Is Angulo a true test to Canelo's resume?

in terms of power, canelo's chin and stamina will be tested. angulo ain't one if the elite though but his power and aggression could deliver canelo's very first knock out loss Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Not the guy we wanted, but he'll test Canelo for sure

It will test Alvarez in 2 areas where he seems to be a bit iffy: His stamina and punch resistance. I honestly think Angulo would be a harder fight for Canelo than Lara.

Of course. Canelo is hardly fleet footed. He's going to have to deal with this guy. Should be interesting.

I think so, I don't rate Canelo very highly and can see Angulo getting the win. 50-50 fight.

Angulo pre-Kirkland was untested himself. So he beat, who? a 12-3 Gabe Rosado? Joel Julio? Alcine, not really saying much, he was a prospect sort of. The Kirkland and Lara fights showed fans what Angulo is made of, despite losing both. Those were the fights that showed what Angulo could do at the to level, and that is that he is dangerous and can badly hurt you if you just go at him, and even if you try to outbox him he can catch you like he did Lara. You're Absolutely right. The Kirkland fight was in 2011 (wow how time fly's). So let me correct myself and say: Angulo pre Lara, YES... Angulo post Lara, can't say for sure..

Angulo pre Kirkland, YES.. Angulo post Kirkland, can't say for sure.. Angulo pre-Kirkland was untested himself. So he beat, who? a 12-3 Gabe Rosado? Joel Julio? Alcine, not really saying much, he was a prospect sort of. The Kirkland and Lara fights showed fans what Angulo is made of, despite losing both.

It's a very tough fight, wasn't it for Lara? Lol why would it be a lesser challenge for Canelo? I expect nothing more than for Angulo to go in there and try to knock Canelo's head off with every punch he throws. Canelo will have to fight very very smart, not go to war with Angulo. He's gonna have to try to outbox him. But he could do it. And I will repeat the same thing I've said before, Canelo is the only fighter right now not named Mayweather, who can fight Austin Trout and Floyd Mayweather Jr back to back and fight a guy like Angulo as a "comeback" fight, but be insulted by some fans. It's gonna be a very good action fight where we will see Canelo's intelligence, or, if he decides to bang, we will see how tough he is against a big JMW who can punch and is young. Angulo is not old like Mosley, or shot like Cintron, this will be a tough test for a young Canelo.

at this point it is not a test to his resume, but it will be a test to his chin.

Angulo pre Kirkland, YES.. Angulo post Kirkland, can't say for sure..

What Resume? Yes it is a good fite i mean about time he fought a puncher after 40 plus fites and hopefully Angulo somehow "Pac-kos" him to the moon like Marquez did. "hee nahh genn up jim hee nahh genn up"

Not so much because Angulo is coming off a knockout loss. Would have been a couple years ago when Angulo was the #1 contender for Canelo's belt for over a year and couldn't get a title shot. Now that Angulo has been knocked out a couple times, it is too bad that now, all of a sudden, Canelo wants to fight him.

angulo is a great test for canelo at this point in his career

Angulo a true test on anyone resume.

I consider it more of a true personal test to his toughness and intelligence as a fighter. This is the fight for him to prove he is at that level where he can overcome tough fighters. Like Roach said, tough guys don't win fights, good boxers do. But tough guys come along to really expose if you are that type of high class fighter or not. Many break when the moment comes, we will see what Canelo is made of. Canelo's will, mental and physical toughness will be tested that night. So will his chin. It is a test to help us get a better and wider perspective of his talent level. These fights often test the core essence of fighters. Yup all of this, good one. It's the type of fight they were trying to put together a while back with P. Williams and Kirkland, but things fell through. I still don't feel like I know him as a fighter, anyone else like that

if canelo loses or looks bad vs a limited and plodding fighter like angulo that would make floyd's win over canelo seem less significant.

angulo is a test for anyones chin...
