Sometimes we forget hes only a 19 year old KID
let him develop first

[TuRoK'em]

i think canelo would be ready for someone like mike jones or delvin rodriguez.but matthew hatton wouldnt be a step down from an old version of carlos baldomir

[THE_BIG_HURT]

i hope hbo picks up this fight,If cotto dont fight on that date.

I'd be into it. I Like canelo more and more every time i see him

You have to understand he's 20 years old and they are going to move him slowly. It would be ****** to put him in with a "dangerous fighter" at this point.

You need to put yourself in the promoters shoes. What would you do if you want him to be a FUTURE star? Not every fight should be a big challenge. Baldimor was a step up in class and a test for the young kid, he won easy. Now for the next year or so, he's going to continue to have "stay busy fights" mixed with a few more challenges here and there.

No reason to rush the kid, Hatton is a fine opponent, imo.

The kid is 20 years old & has 35 fights or possibly even more(including his last fight with Baldomir, Canelo claims he has 45 fights & 34 KO's)against pure TOMATO CANS & the ONLY 2 names that stick out are of 1 fighter that's way smaller in size & reach & comes from 3 category's lower(Jose Cotto & Alvarez almost got KO'd in this fight that was prematurely stopped to favor El Canelo) & the other 1 is an old & dehydrated no defense, feather fisted Baldomir that was coming from a 1 year lay off & had lost 3 of his last 5 fights & the KO was no big deal since a way YOUNGER Baldomir had already been KO'd in 2 rounds against Paulo Alejandro Sanchez...So if they bring him up any slower he'll be going backwards & with the caliber of his opponents that's the way he's heading!!! Benitez at 17 & on his 25th fight was already a champion, at 18 he won his 2nd world title & at 21 he won his 3rd, Pipino Cuevas became a champion at 18 & his record at the time was 16-5 & Trinidad & Tyson became champions at the same age Alvarez is right now & Trinidad had only 19 fights & Tyson 27..& the fact that El Canelo didn't have or didn't have much of a amateur career is not an excuse cause Wilfredo Vazquez jr never had an amateur fight & started boxing in his 20's & with ONLY 20 fights He's already a champion & has defended his title against the #1 contender!!! If Canelo keeps it going the way he is, he's gonna end up like Yori Boy Campas that had a record of 56-0 with 53KO's(against nobody's)when he 1st fought for a title against Trinidad & got destroyed in 4 rounds!!!

Dude use math 4 boxers out of thousands of champs from the past and present doesn't mean everyon can do it you numbskull way to own your self, and why is tyson in there? He had a long amature career you ***ing moron!!!

id like to see Alvarez vs matt hatton

[Grimmer]

For only a few months away, Matt Hatton the Euro champ isn't a terrible choice. It's a decent opponent for Saul to end the year on. He's only young and keeping active will only benefit him.

Some people mistake that a fighter taking on an opponent is in substitute for him fighting another. When a lot of the time it's in substitute for not fighting at all. I'd like to see Alvarez fight Matt Hatton than fight no one. It's only 3 months off, other fighters might be booked up. Alvarez is 20 and fighting the Euro champ in a keep busy fight is pretty impressive.

Bring on Matt Hatton v The Ginger Ninja.

[ShoulderRoll]

Fighting a European champion would be a nice step for Canelo at this point. There's nothing wrong with that.
